Joomla 2.5.x Multilanguage Problem

le5 08 Mar, 2012
Hello all

I have to say, that I'm using Chronoforms for the first time.
And it's my first Joomla 2.5.x Project (know 1.5.x very well).

I actually like the new multilanguage possibility with Joomla.
I use a very simple Chronoforms Form. 1 page and Thankyou Message.

I use the menu assign for linking each menu point to each language (since every language has the same sitemap structure).

Chronoforms I use over Menu integration (not plugin in content).
Now I noticed, that when I'm, as example, in the german lanuage on the form and click on english, the english form will be shown. Just when I submit the english form, there will be shown a 404 Message.

Now I noticed some major difference, when I first time click on the form, url paramters are as follow
http://localhost/index.php?option=com_chronoforms&view=form&Itemid=495&lang=de

but when I change language from french to german I get only
http://localhost/index.php?Itemid=495&lang=de


The form will be shown, just the submit will miss the component information and will lead to an 404 error. Is this a Joomla or Chronoforms problem?

any idea how I can link the menus to the diffrent languages, that it will work?

thanks for any hints

regards pawel

Hi Pawel,

I don't know much about multi-language menus in Joomla! :-(

ChronoForms will pick up the submit URL from the calling URL, if that is missing the option value then it will cause an error.

A few things that you might try:

[list]
  • Use a single menu for all languages and let Joomla! or JoomFish handle the language tag.

  • Turn Relative URL to No in the form General tab (click the Name link in the Forms manager to open it)

  • Use Menu entries of type External URL.
  • [/list]
