Some Questions

Post by fooBar »

Hello,

I like your CMS very very much! I installed it and I think it's the right thing for me. But I have some questions about it:

-Is it possible to do a multilangual site? Can I translate all my articels into several languages?
-Is it possible to mark some subarticls in the menü as always expanded, and others only expanded when I click on the category?
-Is it possible to add a description and another value (what I want to define) to images I upload?

Thanks so far :)
Have a nice day!!

- Take a look at the multilingual project.
- It is, but I think not with the default menu template and parameters, so you'll have to create a custom menu template.
- Image Manager doesn't support this, but I think the Album module does.

Regards,
D

thanks, that's working pretty good. the second issue I will try to do via a global content block.

another question: I can now enter a description for the image. but even when using the multilingual version, I cannot enter several descriptions for each language for an image :(:(

This is a feature request: http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/tracker/in ... 7&atid=728
Sadly, I will probably not get around to adding this until after CMSMS 2.0 comes out. It will have multi-lang capabilities by default.
It the meantime, you can just create multiple Albums with the same picture. Not the most elegant solution, but it would work.

I assume you have different pages for different languages.
What you can do is:
1. Go to "Content » Photo Albums"
2. Look under the "IDs" column and note which Albums are for the language of the page you are editing.
3. Add those numbers the 'albums' parameter like this (if the IDs were 1 and 3):

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='album' albums='1,3'}
4. Paste the above code on your page.
5. Repeat steps for each language.

Hope this helps,

Elijah
