Did this fix ever get added to K2.2? I added this solution [menu.xml] to my K2.1 site and then I recently upgraded to K2.2. When I compare the install folder for K2.2 in admin > components > com_joomfish > contentelements it includes only 7 files (none of which is menu.xml):

k2_attachments.xml
k2_categories.xml
k2_extra_fields.xml
k2_items
k2_tags
k2_users
translationK2_categoryFilter.php

I continue to have issues with tranlations in Joomfish missing the ID number at the end (see below).




If I remove the menu.xml file from admin > components > com_joomfish > contentelements
then I get the error in the admin backend:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getTable() on a non-object in /home/xxx/public_html/administrator/components/com_joomfish/models/ContentObject.php on line 669

Any ideas?


JoomlaWorks said:@Chucknology Thanks for that. We'll check out your solution and once we verify it works we'll integrate it into 2.2.

It seams that they didn't add the corrected xml to version 2.2.
Anyway, I changed the menu.xml accordingly (the line of the "link") and everything works fine now.

If you only have the k2 xml files in your joomfish, then something is wrong with your installation of joomfish. Try to re-install. You should have there by default all the files which define the translation of the core elements of Joomla.

This info was great! Thank you so much!

I have the new versions and it doesnt work for me.

I made a test installation too, with all new versions.
Installed joomla, joomfish, k2 2.2.
I even changed the menu.xml file as mentioned.
Still the same.
help?

Tnx fo your help, it works without changes!!! I have one more question... I'd change the template too when I translate in another language: I put this string in the xml Select template but it doesn't work, I think because the field "select template" is disabled in the menu. Could you help me? Tnx very much

Chucknology said:I found a solution for translation of menus that worked for me.....I went looking in the menu.xml file and tried some adaptations till it worked...see my xml file in attachment and change yours with this one (backup before trying anyway) put the file in: administrator/components/com_joomfish/contentelements
afterwards go to the menu translation in joomfish...open each menu and click 'copy' next to it and you'll see it copies the complete url now....
Lemme know if it worked out!

Thanks a lot Chucknology!!!

The fix of Chucknlogy works like a charm for me. If you don't mind I'll be posting this fix on my blog!

That's odd, I had the exact same problem and the menu.xml fix solved that for me. Did you click the "copy URL" button in your "translation" after uploading the menu.xml file? That did the trick for me.

Eric said:That's fine if that solutions works for you. Hopefully it works for lots of people, but I still have the same issue as below. The K2 Main Menu link brings the user to the entire content of the website instead of just the 1 category the Menu is assigned to when translated w/ Joomfish.
The Menu links are fine in their original language and bring the user to just the category they are assigned to. Once translated the entire content of the website is shown.

Hi Eric, I have the same your issue "The K2 Main Menu link brings the user to the entire content of the website instead of just the 1 category the Menu is assigned to when translated w/ Joomfish".

After i have spent 3 days on it, i found a little workaround.
Basically in order to display the correct layout for K2 category pointed from the menu link, you need to change the menu alias in your translation therefore don't copy the menu alias from the original language but write something else. I know it sounds crazy but trust me i can't figure out whatelse i can do in order to fix this bug.

Remember to clear the joomla cache after this change. I am really disappointed about the idea to not have an alternative to Joomfish which in my opinion is just shit.

I figured it out, once you put the Chucknology menu.xml file, make sure to "copy the url" in each menu translation that point to the same k2 category page. In my case problem was still there because i forgot to fix the url on the footer menu that was linked to the same k2 category page as the one in the main menu.

I don't know if it make sense but I hope it can help!

BTW sorry for my bad english :(

worked like i charm. Thanks! i was about to shoot my head, spent hours looking for a problem.

This should be fixed in a next release

PHIEW!

Thanks for the fix Chucknology!

Question, is this a K2 bug or a Joomfish bug ?

You are the best. Thanks so much!

WOW!!! What a relief!
I did it! And guess what? - IT WORKS!!!
Chucknology, you are just GREAT for sharing this workaround. I am new to Web design and even each little thing takes time. But this issue was driving me crazy for weeks. I asked for support on the forum. But nobody got back to me. I was frustrated and today was just searching thru the posts and... found this. I was scared of trying, cause do not understand web code at all. But then, finally gave up and compared your code and the code I have in my file and found only one line difference. Joomfish has a line with some kind "READ ONLY" code and you have line with code for copying lengths... So, I just overlaid their "READ ONLY" (which definitely caused an issue) line with your code.
SO, IT WORKS!!!
Thank you again!!!

For me its a joomfish bug. Hope it'll be integrated by now.

Question, is this a K2 bug or a Joomfish bug ?

Just another confirmation that this does work! Thanks for the fix Chucknology!!!

Bad news. There is something wrong with latest joomfish release - 2.1.5 - November the 24th.
I had to rollback to jf 2.0.4. The problem is: joomfish + k2 + homepage link to a k2 article = caos.
Dear Chucknology, please, can you save us, please?

Massimo, I will check this out but it might take a while since I'm very vusy now. What Joomla version and K2 are you using?
