Hello Camilla,

Yep, that's actually why your customers can choose a language when they create a new post You just need to enable the multi lingual feature in Joomla and when you switch between languages, the posts will be displayed accordingly.

Thanks for answering so quickly

Yes, I know.
But can I choose to display all posts in all languages at the same time on blog frontpage?

Hello Camilia,

I'm sorry but it is not possible.

Hello,
If not using any 3d party multilanguage component,
but only Joomla default multilanguage system

do I need to create a container category for each language?
eg.

ENG container category
- english subcatergory 1
- english subcategory 2
...

ITA container category
- italian subcatergory 1
- italian subcategory 2
...


so that I can have a place to show eg. all english posts?

or there is a better way to achieve this?

Thank you

Hey Niccolo,

With EasyBlog 5, you don't need to do this anymore. It works with Joomla's multi lingual out of the box. When posting a blog post, you just need to choose your language on the sidebar

Then, create the different menu's respectively based on the language and it should work out of the box as EasyBlog will only return you blog posts that are based on the current menu that you are accessing

I understand Mark,
but still I think I need to create 2 different set of categories,
one for italian, the other for english

otherwise how can I have category names in italian?
(I am not using any 3d party mirror traslation component)

am I wrong?

Ah, yes if you want categories in different languages, you need to create different set of categories. Alternatively what you can do is give your category titles a language string text instead. For instance, COM_EASYBLOG_XXX_TITLE . Then, add them to your language file

Cool, thanks!
BTW I was thinking about dropping Joomla and keeping easyblog 5, it's like having another complete CMS

Haha, is that a compliment or a sarcasm But yeah, EasyBlog 5 is a really huge system and we are really keen in pushing a new 5.1 next year

it was a compliment

Haha thanks! Anyway I will lock this thread since this thread was actually created almost 11 months ago. If you need any help, please start a new thread
