Hi, I'm hoping someone can help here as I've had a good search in effort to resolve a problem with changing the slide image per language.

I have a Joomla 1.5 site running FPSS 3.2.0, with the latest Joomfish release V2.2.3.

I can translate some of the slide content but, most importantly for me, I'm not able to change the slide image being referenced for other languages: it's not an option in the Joomfish translation page.

I can see how I can add more to the fpss_slides.xml in the Joomfish 'administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements' file BUT the extra lines I would add to reference changing the slide image can't be found in the database. So I've opened up the table 'jos_fpss_slides' in the database but can't find a field to reference the image path.

So here's an example of the extra lines to add to the XML file:
<field type="text" name="path" translate="1">Image</field>
<field type="text" name="path_type" translate="0" >Path_type</field>
<field type="text" name="thumb" translate="1">Thumb</field>

However, this is obviously creating the following error in Joomfish because the fields don't exist in the 'jos_fpss_slides' table:
No valid database connection: DB function failed with error number 1054
Unknown column 'c.path' in 'field list' SQL=SELECT c.id, c.title, c.custom, c.text, c.tagline, c.path, c.path_type, c.thumb, jfc.id as jfc_id, jfc.value as titleTranslation, jfc.modified as lastchanged, jfc.published as published, jfc.language_id, jfl.title as language, jfc.reference_id as jfc_refid FROM jos_fpss_slides as c LEFT JOIN jos_jf_content as jfc ON c.id=jfc.reference_id AND jfc.reference_field='title' AND jfc.reference_table='fpss_slides' AND jfc.language_id=3 LEFT JOIN jos_languages as jfl ON jfc.language_id=jfl.lang_id ORDER BY c.title LIMIT 0, 20


So, the question in short :) is please can someone help me translate images for slides in Joomfish?

Thanks in advance.

An image cannot be translated... Text can be translated... Could you please be more specific?

Hi Katia,

I have slide images that are specific to each language and it would be nice to be able to reference/change these in Joomfish.

This doesn't seem possible by default, hence me asking where they are stored in the db (I was expecting to see them in 'jos_fpss_slides' table.

Regards,
Carl

This cannot be done and I mean showing different slides from the same slideshow according to the language selection.
Why don't you create two different slideshows?

Yes, that's fine.

Can this be done using Joomfish (or does it require a third party plug-in e.g. Advanced Module Manager) to reveal content based on current language?

Thanks for the replies,
Carl
