chrono with joomfish

Hi there! Hope you have an solution for me how to use two language form with joomfish. Have tried to put both in one form with this code:

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

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

......but this solution is not working for me. Form jumps to default language and stays there. Do someone knows how to?
I'm using Joomla 1.5 face-meh-blank

Hi NickN,

Add a line of code to echo $lang->getName() and see what values are being returned. This *should* work if you have the correct (case-sensitive) values in the cases.

Tnx for the replay Bob. I have replaced the code:

switch ( $lang->getName() )

With this one:

echo $lang->getName();?>

This is the replay I have:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CASE in W:\var\www\test\components\com_chronocontact\chronocontact.html.php(83) : eval()'d code on line 72

I supposed to change the case to right one (line 72 is the case)? Is this right?

Resolved!!!:woohoo:
Thank you man to point me the right way. My case was not right, echo showed me the right language. Replaced and runs like hell🙂
Great tool, time to by a license😉

Can somebody post the final code to use, following the original code and the edits, but can get it working.

Thanks
Lee

Hi Lee,

whats your joomla version ? can you show me the progress you made with the code, the steps above posted by Bob are straight forward.

cheers,
Max

Hi Max, my Joomla version is 1.5.7, I am working locally, since the site is still in production, I will try to upload today and pm you a link.

Thanks
Lee

you can show me the final code you made only, the one you have in the HTML box!

Cheers

I have tried loads of variations, here is what I have at the minute:

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
echo $lang->getName();
switch ( $lang->getName() ) {
 {
  case 'english':
?>

english form code

<?php
  break;

  case 'welsh':
  default:
?>
Welsh form code

This displays no content.

Thanks

I have also tried this:

<?php
$lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
echo $lang->getName() ) {
 {
  case 'english':
?>

english form code

<?php
  break;

  case 'welsh':
  default:
?>
Welsh form code

you should try this :

    <?php
    $lang =& JFactory::getLanguage();
    echo $lang->getName();
    switch ( $lang->getName() ) {
    {
      case 'english':
    ?>

    english form code

    <?php
      break;

      case 'welsh':
      default:
    ?>
    Welsh form code
 <?php
      break;
}
?>

Unfortunately, I still don't see any text, can't figure it out😟

I have managed to create a bilingual form by adding the labels as <?php echo JText::_( 'LABELHERE' ) ?>, I can then go into the two language files and create to separate labels, not sure if this is a good way of doing it, but it works for me.

Thanks

Hi lw_d,

That's how the language files work in the basic Joomal 1.5 (without Joomfish) so it sounds perfect.

Bob

Thanks Bob, its a solution I really like, obviously a manual one, but that's perfect for me.

Lee

Good idea!
