Media album in second language

[Goarli]

Hello,

I tried - in the "list view" to translate or create a Medi Album for a second language (English). Unfortunately this does not work. Either is displayed in language 1 or language in language 2. It is applied no other record in the "List view" (FE)?!

Thanks

Goarli

Hi Frans,

I have expressed myself somewhat complicated.

My problem is that I try a Media album and its description to translate in a second language.

There is the language option but has no effect. I do something wrong?

I want the same pictures / Gallery, only the description should be to create in the alternative language.

thank you

Did you translate the page/storage folder that holds the album records?

[Goarli]

Hello Frans,

Yes, the Storage Folder which holds the album records also applied in the second language. Everything else also - the plugin itself that individual albums etc.!

[Goarli]

In the default language the corresponding album will be displayed. On the side with the alternative language, the albums of all languages are displayed ?!

[Frans Saris]

Hi Goarli,

Pushed a TCA changed to get it working for the nested album view. Could you test if this also fixes it for you?

I think you need to check all existing translated albums (set parent album + album date when needed)

Test of your last master version:

In the file list, I have created 2 folders (with images).

After that I created from the two folders each a Media album (in the file list view).

• For the 1st Media Album, the language setting is set to standard and a date set.

• For the 2nd Media Album, the language setting is set to the alternative language and a date set.

On the (FE) pages of standard and alternative language I respectively inserted the plugin.

When I set the "nested album view" in BE and select no specific collection in the BE there, only the album of the default language displayed on the FE-side of the default language.

But then the albums of both languages ​​are displayed on the FE-side of the alternative language again?!

When I use the "nested album view" in BE and select them the corresponding collections in BE, only the selected albums are displayed in FE! But for that I need no translation!!!

If I set the "flat album view" in BE is the already mentioned problem !!!

I prefer the "flat album view" to specific users to be able to display images ( specific albums). Here there is no specific collection in the BE can be selected - and the problem persists!

[Frans Saris]

Looks like you render FE in content _fallback mode but you didn't translate the records. If you're not using strict mode you need to make sure the location parent is set for the translated albums.

[Goarli]

Hello Frans,

You're absolutely right!

I render FE in content _fallback mode, yes.

I have - as shown in the picture sent along, forget to translate the original text.

Thank you and sorry

@franssaris I think the problem is the call to $this->setAlbumUidRestrictions(); in the MediaAlbumController for nestedListAction. By doing this the uid of the sys_file_collection record gets restricted to the uid of the default language. But in the same query is a condition that does not allow a record to be in the default language, thus you always get an empty result.

A possible fix could be to change MediaAlbumRepository->findAll from:

if ($this->albumUids !== []) {
    if ($this->useAlbumUidsAsExclude) {
        $query->matching($query->logicalNot($query->in('uid', $this->albumUids)));
    } else {
        $query->matching($query->in('uid', $this->albumUids));
    }
}

to

if ($this->albumUids !== []) {
    if ($this->useAlbumUidsAsExclude) {
        $query->matching($query->logicalNot($query->in('uid', $this->albumUids)));
    } else {
        $query->matching($query->logicalOr([
            $query->in('uid', $this->albumUids),
            $query->in('l10n_parent', $this->albumUids),
        ]));
    }
}

The same fix should also be applied in other parts of the repository, but probably you can also think of another solution.

[Markus Mächler]

Also the following line in MediaAlbum should be changed from:

$fileCollection = $this->fileCollectionRepository->findByUid($this->getUid());

to:

$fileCollection = $this->fileCollectionRepository->findByUid($this->_localizedUid);

[Max Mishyn]

Here is the patch to fix the missing album translations. It was implemented in findByUid already but missing in findAll method of MediaAlbumRepository
