Hi,

I played some time with serendipity_event/plugin_multilingual and here is what I noted:

serendipity_event_multilingual

1) At the front page, when multiple entries are displayed (normal view) there are links for actually created language versions of the entry and this is OK. After entering some version it appears OK. What is not OK, is that the links to another language versions are missing and it is very uncomfortably to exit to the normal view first and then to click to another version's link.

2) Whenever the author may want to delete a specific language version and to leave intact others (he may want not to delete the whole entry). Is this action possible ?

serendipity_plugin_multilingual

When I select other language and then the page is reloaded, I see that the language remained the same, actually the default language - nothing changes, the names of the days and the months are not changed. May be this issue is not up to serendipity_plugin_multilingual, because I tried to change the language in Admin panel.Configuration: I selected another language, but after that the previous language remained.

Hm, I don't really know about the first issue what you mean, can you maybe create screenshots of that?

About problem 2, I think you can just edit that language's version and remove the body/extended entry text. I think that should remove the language from being displayed then. As you noted, you can't delete the full entry if you want it to be intact for other languages.

About the multilingual plugin - you should note that when you are logged into your blog, the frontpage also recognizes you as logged in. Then you will always see the interface in your selected language from your profile (not the global configuration, though)

I have created one multilingual entry. Then I entered the frontpage of the blog -- to see what I created. This entry was first one in the list (as it should be), and after its body I saw the links to the available language versions. I expected just this and this was OK. Then I clicked on one of these links and entered the detailed entry view with correspondent language version of the entry. This is OK too. Now I think that in this detailed view there should be the links to the other language versions too. However, they are not there and if I want to go to another version, I must go to the main front page and then click to the correspondent link.

In short it would be a good idea the links to the language versions to appear and in the detailed entry view too.

Yes, I removed the content of the language version and it disappeared.

Yes, you are right, after my post here I read your reply in other thread.

Hm, I cannot reproduce that. The settings to switch a language are always there for me, both in the extended view and the usual view. What's your URL so I can check it? This might be an issue of your template!

Hi,

I think I found something. May be it is some interference with serendipity_event_blogpdf. When it is on, there are two 'Export to PDF:....' strings in the detailed entry view: one after the entry body and another below all the rest (trackbacks, comments, comment form...). And not any links to language versions.

When I removed serendipity_event_blogpdf, the links to language versions appeared where is their place: below the entry body.

May be something withI dont know...

You are absolutely right. The blogpdf plugin overwrite add_footer instead of appending to the add_footer element. I've just committed a new version which uses ".=" instead of "=" for the add_footer assignment, and which make the memory footprint a bit smaller of the plugin.

HTH,
Garvin

Now it works .
