Frederic Offline Senior Member Posts: 56 Karma: 0	Hi every one ! Lets say, we have a category table with the following fields : - id - title (default field) - title_en - ... I would like to show title or title_en field in the filter combo depending on language selected by the user. For the moment, I found a few tricks but none of them works completly... What would be the best way to do it ? Thanks in advance, Best regards, Fred

Romkabouter Offline Elite Member Posts: 310 Thank you received: 131 Karma: 48	Hi there, I do not think you want to add a field for every language you need How is this category table filled? Is it a table you have in your component? And can an item be in only on or more categories?

Hi Romkabouter,

Thank you for your answer, I feel a bit less lonely.

This project is stricly bi-lingual. You are right, having a text field for each language would be crazy otherwise.

Yes, the category table is inside my component and its contents change very often so using a language INI file is not a solution...
And Yes, an item is related to only one category.

What do you suggest ?

Best regards,
Fred

I don't know how much of a developer you are, but read about forking your component here:
www.j-cook.pro/index.php/f/forks

In the view of the items there is probably something like

		$filters['filter_XXX']->jdomOptions = array(
			'list' => $modelXXX->getItems()
		);

for the categories. (I do not know your code, so try to find it yourself)

That "list" needs to get filled with either the title or title_en, you can do that by overriding your model.

Can you post some screenshots of your builder or folderstructure? I can then give better pointers as to where to change things

Hi Romkabouter,
Thank you for your help. Maybe, I am not so far from the solution...

Here what I have done :
Forking the view :

// Catégorie > Titre
		$modelCategory = CkJModel::getInstance('categories', 'Cmp18Model');
		$modelCategory->set('context', $model->get('context'));
		$nomFiltre = ($lg == 'fr') ? 'filter_category':'filter_category_en';
		$filters[$nomFiltre]->jdomOptions = array(
			'list' => $modelCategory->getItems()
		);

Forking the items having a category field to filter on, I modify the models/forms/object.xml that way :

<field name="filter_category"
				listKey="id"
				labelKey="libelle"
				type="ckcombo"
				submit="true"
				nullLabel="CMPLUTECE18_FILTER_NULL_CHOISIR_UNE_CATEGORIE"
				class="span-2 element-filter"
				label="CMPLUTECE18_JSEARCH_CATEGORIE_TITRE"
				ui="chosen"/>

		<field name="filter_category_en"
				listKey="id"
				labelKey="libelle_en"
				type="ckcombo"
				submit="true"
				nullLabel="CMPLUTECE18_FILTER_NULL_CHOISIR_UNE_CATEGORIE"
				class="span-2 element-filter"
				label="CMPLUTECE18_JSEARCH_CATEGORIE_TITRE"
				ui="chosen"/>

In the model categories.pfp file, I forked the prepareQuery function to order the query on libelle or libelle_en field depending on the selected language.

With these modifications done, I am able to get the filter combo for category filled with the selected language and it is well ordered... Great ! but...

What is not working...

In English, when a filter is applied, the combo box does not display the selected value as it does in french...

Any idea ? Or another way to do it ?

Best regards,
Fred
