CMS Made Simple Forums

I have posted the changes that I have done to the Forge hoping for the DEV team to incorporate them to a release. I have tested all functionality of mlecms with cmsms v2 and it works fine. Unfortunately it doesn't work with older versions of cmsms (1.12), hopefully the DEV team will test it? Anyway it's been 2 weeks now and it seems that there isn't any interest, is there a way to communicate with the DEV team more directly in order to get this fixed?

You don't really have a way of measuring the interest/availability/investment of a developer in Open Source development. Most, if not all, have to give higher priority to whatever puts their food on the table. The forge is the proper channel to communicate with the module developers, using other ways may lead to your request being ignored. 2 weeks is nothing in terms of OS. In due time you'll have an answer (or not, is not for me to say...).

Additionally and just for clarity, MleCMS (as much as Eridu for that matter) is a 3rd Party module, not a CMSMS core module so the Dev Team mentioned above is not the CMSMS Core Dev Team, regardless of the possible participation in either modules of any member of the said Core Dev Team.

I' am aware of that, didn't mean to sound "pushy" or anything, I'm on the same boat myself so...
What I really wanted to check is if there is still activity in developing and maintaining the MleCMS module. The good news is that it seems that there is.

There is a simple MLE solution; ExaLang 0.1 (beta) that contains a switch between language
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/exalang

But it's not working for me in 2.1.2
If I open the Exalang module (under content), I see the following;
-- Missing Languagestring: lang_list_empty —

And the link 'Add a language' give me a error 500 page with this on it;
../admin/moduleinterface.php?mact=ExaLang,m1_,admin_lang_edit,0&_sk_=be7a4121b45ccb1

{ExaLang action='switcher'} in the template will do nothing.
{Navigator childrenof=$ExaLang.parent} in the template give a normal page structure.

I report the problem or bug in the CMSMS Forge.

+1 for donation help if there's a movement. I think the main problem here is that there is not an "official" way of doing multilanguage with CMSMS. Sure there are various ways of "hacking" it using user defined tags + MLE templates or using the MleCMS module etc, but everyone is doing it his/her own way.

For me the MleCMS module is a good starting point, so I have used that in order to stay consistent across all my multilanguage sites.
