Hello Alexandre Cayer,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I will try to investigate on this issues, but when i tried to access in your Joomla backend, then i getting this :

Warning

You do not have access to the administrator section of this site

Can you provide us with your FTP access as well ? Please advise.

Hi Arlex,

I tought it might have to do with the url rewriter but it didn't do anything. I would bet 2$ that's in the way the views are name along with the route that we have an issue. Since the language switcher only change the FR or EN and is not aware of its translation counterpart.

In a way we have the answer when we look at Registration and login, which doesn't provide any error, which make me believe they have the same name... therefore, my feeling is that it's a matter of renaming some variable in ES.
Do you really need u/l since it seems more a behavioral issue than a site issue.

Thanks

Alex

Hello Alexandre,

We actually translate the "view" names depending on the language that you are on and they are actually defined in the language file. Perhaps the translator may have messed up with the translations for these router urls?

Hey Mark,

There is definitely some big thing going on with the router because right now ES is not translatable.
I have tried from any language.
I suspect that there is error on the order of steps to router because i receive a 404 error on ES when i tried to translate the page in another language.
At the end of the road I don't think that this would have anything to do with Falang and this would have the same error with any Language comp since the error is created by the simple switch of another language shortname in the url.

Could you investigate. I would need to offer a real translated solution, especially when the translation already exist

Thanks

Alex

Hello Alexandre,

Please provide us with the FTP access to the site and if it's possible, provide us with the sample links that are not working

Hi Mark,

It's there. I have provided you the url for the english version. If you press on Français (French) in upper right, you shall receive an error 404.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alexandre,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding your issue, I not sure if issue coming from falang or not but when you click on the language switcher, e.g from English to France, the url remain in English and only the language code changed. This causing EasySocial failed to get the correct view / layout name. EasySocial use language file to translate the url. I've check your fr-FR.com_easysocial.ini and apparent the translation for dashboard view is 'tableaudebord' but the text that returned to EasySocial is still in English, which is 'dashboard'. This causing EasySocial failed to verify the correct view name and as the result, you are getting 404.

I did a test by changing the 'tableaudebord' to 'dashboard' in fr-FR.com_easysocial.ini and it work.

Have you try using the Joomla language switcher plugin? By right, if you enable Joomla core language switcher plugin, and when you switch language, the text in the url should change as well.

Please advise.

Hi Sam,

I did give a try and disable the Falang plugin... unfortunatly, it didnt work ! I try changing the en to fr in the url bar and it didnt work neither.
Honestly, in 3 years, I have never seen Falang not working.
As of right now, if I change the language in another section of the site and then come back in ES, it would have got translated (with Falang enable or not).
Therefore it is the way it is translate while being in ES that cause the issue.

Alex

Sam,

I have provided you with user info for administrator so you can give a look BUT notify me of any change.

Thanks

Hi Alex,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply.

Regarding your issue, I've re-enabled your Falang plugin and also I've modified your language file 'fr-FR.com_easysocial.ini' (frontend) by replaced the string used in router from France backend to English and now your links should work correctly.

Please verify again

PS: I've made a backup file of your language file and named it fr-FR.com_easysocial.ini.bak

Hope this help and have a nice day

Hi Sam,

Yes indeed, this seems to work now! Will this be a fix in every update or I will need to make such change every subsequent update ?

Thanks

Hello Alexandre,

We can't actually fix this internally because these translations are submitted by users and they actually want to have urls based on their language.

Agree that it's part of the fr-FR ini but what I meant is:

Can we force, with a boolean setup option, the router name NOT to be translated and if so, ignore that variable and force the english version... this would make the component multi-language.

Thanks

Yeah, that would be an alternative but we'll see what we can do about this

Sam,

Could you tell me which field(s) in the french INI have you change so I can track back ?

P.S. I'm QUITE confident you will be able to make it work : )

Alex

Thanks Sam!
I saved the file itself and will make common change for next release.

You are most welcome Alexandre, we'll consider adding a new settings in the future version of EasySocial so that you can choose to enable translations of the views or not
