HEADER

I spend nearly one hour to search the forum for my issue, but I failed, hopefully you could help me with my problem.

In this case, I'm using Joomla 1.0.13. I set up the ChronoEngine form successfully. First I create a German form. In the second step I create a copy of this German form and exchange the text with English content. Now I put the new form name in the Joomfish menu and enable the English part.
And now, what happens, nothing. Instead of seeing the English content on the website, I see the German form in both states.

What can I do to use ChronoEngine with joomfish in this way?

Hi werwi007,

I don't know anything about Joomfish. I is though fairly simple to set up a form to respond to a user's language setting and you'll find it described at least twice in the forums here.

PS The most recent thread is here

Hi Bob,
Joomfish ist a powerful solution where you can set up easily a Multilanguage websites with Joomla.
What you described is not my problem, I’ll try to explain it more precisely.
1. I started with a standard Joomla 1.0.15 installation with German content
2. I set up the joomfish plugin successfully
3. I create English as a second language for the website also successfully
4. I installed Chrono Forms
5. With Chrono Forms I create a German Form which works perfectly on the German part of the website
6. Now I set up a new English Form with Chrono Forms for the English part of the website
7. I put in the new (English) Form name in the Joomfish admin panel.
8. Now, when I switch between the two languages in the website frontend nothing happens, I only see the German Form.

Where is the bug in my procedure?

Hi wewi007,

As I said I don't know anything about Joomfish. Sounds like this is a problem for their suopport.

Other users have said that the approach I pointed you to works for them - notice that it only uses one form that displays different languges depending on the users language setting. It does not use two (or more) different forms.

Hi Bob,

when I add your code in front of my "Form Code":

Code: Select all

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
echo $lang->getName();?>
  case 'en':
?>
[b]english form code[/b]
<?php
  break;

  case 'ge':
  default:
?>
[b]German form code[/b]
<?php
  break;
?>

I get following error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CASE in /var/www/web1/html/components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.html.php(74) : eval()'d code on line 10

Where is the difficulty?

Hi werwi007,

Youa re missing the switch statement - see this post.

If you want to see what the user's language is set to then you can **add** the echo line - not replace the switch.

Bob

Hi Bob,

if I add this:

Code: Select all

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
switch ( $lang->getName() ) {
  case 'en':
?>
[b]english form code[/b]
<?php
  break;

  case 'de':
  default:
?>
[b]Dutch form code[/b]
<?php
  break;
}
?>

I get that:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'jfactory' in /var/www/web1/html/components/com_chronocontact/chronocontact.html.php(74) : eval()'d code on line 2

Hi werwi007,

True, that's Joomla 1.5.x code and I see you are on Joomla 1.0.x. Try this:

Code: Select all

<?php
global $mosConfig_lang;
switch ( $mosConfig_lang ) {
  case 'en':
?>
  [b]english form code[/b]
<?php
  break;
 
  case 'de':
  default:
?>
  [b]German form code[/b]
<?php
  break;
}
?>

Note that 'en' and 'de' may not be the correct language codes.

Bob

brilliant Bob, now it works.

Thanks a lot for your great and fast support.

Can someone help me for the same issue.

I use joomla 1.5 and joomfish

german is my default language and english and dutch (and later more languages).

I have created a form "test" (german)
and "test_dutch" and "test_english"

The test for the german works great. But when i go to Joomfish --> Translations --> Menu
and translate Parameters - Basis
Form name : Test ---> to --> test_dutch (or test_english)
Nothing changed. In both other languages I'll see the German language

Don't use Joomfish for the translation, use the code which is described earlier in this post, this will work perfect.

If you are using Joomla 1.5, you have to integrate this in the "Form Code" - "Form HTML":

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
switch ( $lang->getName() ) {
case 'english':
?>
here comes the English form code
<?php
break;

case 'nederlands':
default:
?>
here comes the Dutch form code
<?php
break;
}
?>

thank you for the fast reply....but now i get everywhere "here comes the Dutch form code " in the german, dutch and english form and nothing will be translated

Try this:
1. Go to Components
2. Go to Joomfish
3. Go to Languages
4. Have a look at "Joomla! Dateiname" where you can see the language (english or german for example)
5. insert exactly this in your code (case 'language' )

now it should work

thank you, that's a start...this must be for me

Code: Select all

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
switch ( $lang->getName() ) {
case 'English (United Kingdom)':
?>
here comes the English form code
<?php
break;

case 'Nederlands (Nederland)':
default:
?>
here comes the Dutch form code
<?php
break;
}
?>

But where do i have to put the default German (Deutsch (Deutschland)) language?

Try this:

Code: Select all

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
switch ( $lang->getName() ) {
case 'English':
?>
here comes the English form code
<?php
break;

case 'Nederlands':
default:
?>
here comes the Dutch form code
<?php
break;
}
?>


If Joomfish looks like this:
