[SOLUTION PROPOSED] Flexicontent + Joomfish on homepage

HI,

I am using Flexcontent and joomsfish and it is working great!

I am encountering a problem on the home page and only on this page: the articles of both languages are displayed.

I suppose it comes from the url which doesn't have any relation with the language. But all the other elements (menu, modules, etc) are displayed in the right language.

Any suggestions?

what is your configuration for default link in your menu ?

I am linking to one category.

But the problem is not there if I am clicking on another menu and then going back to the home.

There is only a problem for people having visited the old site (and having received a jfcookie(lang). Those one are not 403 redirected to www.mysite.com/fr .

i've got the same problem.

on the home page all articels are displayed.

my topmenu links to "mysite.de/de" but the other menu on the right links to "mysite.de/"

hello what is your url ?

sorry for the late answer...

the url is [deleted]
(i have to delete this later)

the news-content is in both languages english and german.
when you click through the website everything is fine. but the home button in the right menu links always to www.mysite.de/ and the homebutton in the topmenu links to www.mysite.de/de/ like it should.

edit:
just found an other problem:
www.mysite.de - zoomicons of jce media-popup are on the top left of the image
www.mysite.de/de and www.mysite.de/en zoomicons are on the bottom right like expected

edit 2:
FLEXIcontent version 1.5.3c stable (r354)
Joom!Fish V2.0.4 (Lightning)
AceSEF 1.5.6 with FLEXIcontent Addon 1.5.2

Unnamed,

if you modify the settings of the jfrouter plugin.

Enable Language determination Yes
Language selection for new visitors? Browser settings
Use 302 redirect Yes
Save user language in a cookie No
Use SEF prefix or Subdomains? SEF Prefix

Then delete the cookie jfcookie[lang].

Normally, you should be redirected directly to the good part of the site de or en regarding your local settings.

The only problem would be with people having that cookie even if it is not anymore valid.

If you have a solution for deleting the cookie, I am a buyer :lol:

hi grabit,

my jfrouter plugin is disabled because of AceSEF.
seems to be an other problem.

Is it not possible for you to edit the Cookie directly with PHP? Or delete it?

old topic bump.. so sorry if I wasnt supposed to do this, but..
I have the exact same problem, joomfish language select does not work on the homepage.
I have dutch and english, english is the default language. On the homepage when clicking the english flag it goes to the dutch url. And dutch to dutch as well.
And when I check the site's seo performance, I usually get the message:
Language
Declared: en-gb
Detected: Missing
So I found this topic here on the forum:
title: empty language selection on home-page

Maybe the two problems are alike. Will give the posted solution a try tomorrow..

You have not provided details of your FLEXIcontent items.

If you have 2 FLEXIcontent items of different languages and you are displaying your home page via com_frontpage, then com_frontpage knows nothing of the language of the items. So if you set any FLEXIcontent items of any language to be displayed in the frontpage then all of them will be displayed.

Joomfish DOES NOT FILTER items displayed , joomfish only replaces the content (title, description, alias, etc) of an article (= FC item) if a translation exists. Joomfish will never filter items, it will replace their content.

If you want you items to be filter according to the current language then you must use a FLEXIcontent category as your home page.

STEPS:
1. Create a new category called "Site Frontpage"
2. Go to the System - FLEXIcontent plugin and set this category to be unroutable (you can use control click to select more than one category). This way the "Site Frontpage" category will not appear in various places e.g. it will not appear in directory view
3. Set all items you want to appear in the frontpage to also belong to the "Site Frontpage" category besides their other categories.
4. Set your home to be the "Site Frontpage" FLEXIcontent category
5. Enable language filtering to filter items by current language (i imagine you have done this already)
