Elxis 5.1 feature requests

[seadhna]

This doesn't answer my question. If I add a menu link to an EN tag - how do I add a different link for the ES or FR tag in the ES and FR versions of the site? Why would a French speaking person want to look at EN tags?

[datahell]

Tags are multilingual. If you provide the translations the French speaking person will see the French tags and the Spanish speaking person the Spanish ones.

Elxis URIs are constructed like this:
language:component:path

Note: Components are written without the "com_" part.

If the language is omitted Elxis generates the URL with the current language.
Example:
en:content:some-category/some-article.html
fr:content:some-category/some-article.html
The above URLs will become:
https://www.example.com/en/some-category/some-article.html
https://www.example.com/fr/some-category/some-article.html

Note: Elxis omits the default route "content" (see Elxis settings for the Default route)

If English (en) is the site's default language then Elxis will omit the language part:
https://www.example.com/some-category/some-article.html

An Elxis URI for an Open Shop product (com_shop) :
shop:media/tvs/132.html

Elxis URI for component Mikro frontpage (com_mikro) :
mikro:/

Menu links and Elxis Link plugin work with Elxis URIs.
By using Elxis Link plugin in an article provide the link like this:

<a href="#elink:fr:content:some-category/some-article.html">French link to some article</a>

Tags page is dynamic as it is basically a search feature, not a listing feature. In this case we must also supply the tag we want to search for:

<a href="#elink:fr:content:tags.html?tag=bonjour">Articles tagged with the french word bonjour</a>

<a href="#elink:en:content:tags.html?tag=good+morning">Articles tagged with the English word good morning</a>

[seadhna]

There is no facitlity to provide the translated tag in the main menu. That is the entire point I am making. How can Elxis know that when I add a menu link to an English tag for good+morning that the FR translation is bonjour? There is no facility for me to tell Elxis that. This is what I am trying to explain. I find it so difficult to explain myself in this forum.

[michalis1984]

You can't. What you can do for now is to have 2 menus. Eg english and French. Post each one at the right language by cheaking the elxis language parameter. You can do this at templete level. Leave the English as default and the french menu with the french tags to that language.

[seadhna]

I know I can't. That is why I am posting here the issue as a feature request. I am not asking for workarounds. I am making a feature request.

[datahell]

@michalis1984 : This is a clever solution to many cases we want things to be different per language.
if (eFactory::getLang()->currentLang() == 'de') {
    $eDoc->modules('menude', 'none');
} else {
    $eDoc->modules('menu', 'none');
}

@seadhna Elxis has a number of built in extensions with a specific functionality which is fine for the majority of users and sites. However, regardless how many features and options we add on them there will always be cases that we will need something else. In these cases the solution is custom development.

[seadhna]

@datahell I am not mentioning some "exotic" "rare" requirement associated with an extension. I am referring to a gap in logic in the core CMS - whereby Elxis constantly brags about being the "best" multilingual CMS, but in the core main menu of any site, where there is the option to add "Articles tagged as Elxis" - there is NO option to translate that as there is with all other links on the main menu. That is why I posted here in the feature requests. But all I seem to get on this forum is pushback - no you are wrong Seadhna, or one reason or another. It's really tiresome.

[webgift]

Take it easy @seadhna. There are more important things in real life than
the situation you describe about. Especially in this period of time.
Please respect the time team has spended in order to not only provide an
open source cms but also the overall support as provided in here.
