[Solved] Default language and frontend publishing

[Rick_Blaine]

Good morning and thanks for this great component. I will donate as soon as I get next months wage

I am a Joomfish 1.8 satisfied user and I'm in the process of migrating all my sites to Joomla 1.5. Since Joomfish is approching its final state of developement before becoming RC/Stable version, I'm doing some testing here and there. So far everything seems ok (almost perfect!), but I've found a major issue and I don't know where it may come from.

Here is my config:

Joomla 1.5.3
Joomfish 2.0 Public Beta 2
Four languages installed (EN, FR, ES, IT). Default frontend language is set to FR. Original content articles are written in french (FR).

Issue:
Publishers can edit FR transalated content from frontend, and changes are inmediately published and shown on frontend. They can also edit ES content, but then changes are not inmediately published. Through backend I then see that original for the spanish content has switched to to "modified" (yellow), so I have to copy the "new" original content to the translated field to be correctly shown. How can I fix that? What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for you help.

Isn't the original changed because you edited the french article?

[Rick_Blaine]

Thanks for you reply. After further testing, this is what it's going on:

- Default language is french. Original articles are writteng in french.
- I then have them translated into spanish and published through backend, and even if not necessary, I also published the french version.
- When I modify articles in french through the frontend, the new version is published inmediately.
- When I modify the spanish version, it is not pubished inmediately and, more strange, through backend I can now see that the spanish version have become the original ones (shown through content/items).........................................................

I think I found it: I was using JCE Editor plugin, once I switched it to TinyMCE now the behaviour is fine... Sorry for the inconvenience.

By the way, do you guys kno why this is happening? Who should fix the issue, JCE or Joomfish team?

[ivo.apostolov]

Well, we can not fix the editors.

This is not really a JCE or a JoomFish issue, but can be fixed easiest in JoomFish.

The issue relates to the fact that the TinyMCE function updateContent called in the JoomFish 'copyToClipboard' function does not exist in TinyMCE 3, and the equivalent function, tinyMCE.activeEditor.load, has not been included in the TinyMCE 3 compatability plugin.

I would recommend using tinyMCE.setContent() instead, by changing the TinyMCE part of the copyToClipboard function to:

Code: Select all

if ( typeof(tinyMCE)=="object") {
    ed = document.getElementById("refField_"+value);
    ed.value = innerHTML;
    tinyMCE.setContent(ed.value);
}

The other option is to add the updateContent to the compatability plugin (but I would recommend the former):

Code: Select all

updateContent : function(c){
    tinyMCE.activeEditor.load(c)
}

Come to think of it, and considering that JCE 1.5.0 Stable wil be out some time on Friday, I'll have a go at 'fixing' this via the compatability plugin.

Hope you didn't spend to long figuring this out - viewtopic.php?f=28&t=1319&p=5708&hilit=jce#p5694

Joomfish 2.0 final will include the updated code.

may I ask you why the final only and not RC as well?
maybe it means the final version is going to be released soon?

[Geraint]

You read too much into a small typo - it will be in the release candidate.

The more testing and quality feedback we get the sooner we get to the release
