Is it necessary and possible to ugrade 1.0beta4-multilang to 1.0.2?

[philight]

Hi,

as i needed a multilang version, i've installed the 1.0beta4-multilang and i've to say that i'm very pleased with it .

But i would like to use the more stable version and i was asking myself if it was necessary to upgrade to the 1.0.2 version, without loosing every features about multilang management?

I'm interested about all experiences.

I hope my question is understandable...

No, should not work. Multilang project is an inofficial version and without support. Please ask a multilang developer if they plan to hack current version.

thanks for your answer.

So, waiting the multilang official version, i could duplicate all the files in 2 folders at the root "/lang1" and "/lang2", with two separated admin and twice of tables in the Msql Database...

But I wonder if it's possible to get so many tables in the database?

If someone experienced that, please just let me know.

2 separate admins are not needed. Use instead 2 top levels (content type: link) for languages and put the pages in these content trees.

Have create a temporary and very simple example here

cyberman, thanks for the tip, but what am i supposed to write in the URL field?

[cyberman]

Write the link to the first page of every language in URL field.

thanks for the answer but as i got problem with my menu and breadcrumbs, because of the additional level, i think i'm gonna duplicate the files and get 2 admin and a lot of tables... FIXED!

How? With the following steps :

• add 2 top levels (content type: link) for languages and put the pages in these content trees
• write the link of the first page of every language in URL field
• if you don't want to display the additionnal top level added in the menu (english, french...) use the TAG {cms_module module='menumanager' start_level="2"}, then the first level won't be displayed
• for the breadcrumbs, don't use root='alias_of_your_home' to display the value of the filed menu text of your top level language link content  and use initial='1' to avoid starting the breadcrumbs with a delimiter (default 0).
• use a different template for the homepage of every language to skip breadcrumbs TAG (you can write by yourself : You are here : homepage)

And you get your CMSMS in its last stable version ready for multilang use!

Thanks again Cyberman, you show me the good way!
