Hi,
I have installed I18N plugin version 3.2.5 on my GS 3.2.3 and found a bug in Multilevel navigation.

When I go Edit Navigation Structure menu and do not change anything, just click Save Navigation Structure, order of pages are changing, every time. Also it's impossible to save pages in selected order.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and install clean GS 3.2.3
2. Install I18N plugin v 3.2.5 and enable only I18N in plugins tab.
3. Create page with title: test1 and test2.
4. Go to Edit Navigation Structure and click Save Navigation Structure

mvlcek, could you check it?

Hello. I am new to GetSimple and to I18N.

I've just installed the plugin, and I have the following issue:

I added some HTML in the menú text for my pages. For example, the menú text for the "gallery" page was this:

<i class="fa fa-picture-o fa-fw"></i>&nbsp; gallery

I am using FontAwesome for showing some nice icons in the menú.

It was working perfectly, but after installing and activating I18N, the menu is showing all the HTML stuff!

How can I fix it???

Thank you in advance.

[mvlcek]

I added some HTML in the menú text for my pages. For example, the menú text for the "gallery" page was this:

I18N interprets all menu texts as text (without HTML).
Thus you need to use Custom Rendering with a component like that (no htmlspecialchars() around $item->text):

Code:

<li class="<?php echo $item->classes; ?>">
  <a href="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($item->link); ?>">
    <?php echo $item->text; ?>
  </a>
  <?php if ($item->isOpen) { ?>
    <ul><?php $item->outputChildren(); ?></ul>
  <?php } ?>
</li>

    <ul><?php $item->outputChildren(); ?></ul>
  <?php } ?>
</li>

I am not so familiar with components yet. But I guess that you suggest replacing the usual "menu" code in the template with that "customized" component, don't you?

I finally understood and it works fine again! Thank you.

I've fixed this bug by replacing line 197 in file:
i18n_navigation/structure.php

from this:

PHP Code:

$pages = subval_sort($pages,'sort'); 


to this:

PHP Code:

$pages = subval_sort($pages,'sort','asc', false); 


mvlcek, please check my solution and update your plugin, without this fix using i18n_navigation plugin to create navigation structure is unusable (random order of pages every time I save changes) on GS 3.2.3 (I've not tested other versions).

[hameau]

I've fixed this bug ...

I have never seen this problem. I just tried exactly as your steps to reproduce, with a clean installation of GS + I18N, and I still do not have a problem.

I have never seen this problem. I just tried exactly as your steps to reproduce, with a clean installation of GS + I18N, and I still do not have a problem.

Whenever I try a have this problem the bug only occurs on root pages in navigation structure, not on order of childrens.
Please check again, detailed steps:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Download and install clean GS 3.2.3
2. Install I18N plugin v 3.2.5 and enable only I18N (only navigation) in plugins tab.
3. Create page with title: test1 and test2.
4. Go to Edit Navigation Structure and click Save Navigation Structure
5. Repeat step 4 again and again every time when you save it displays random structure even as you have not changed anything.

Update:
I've checked again and bug dissapeard Maybe it's a problem of the browser or PHP version, I don't know I will check again on a computer and server where I've found it.


Update2:
I've checked and bug confirmed on clean GS 3.2.3 install on PHP 5.2.11 (ZendServer) and any browser. Maybe problem is related to nat_sort function, some changes was made in PHP 5.2.10 (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.natsort.php), I have no clue, my fix works.

@mvlcek

Since GS 3.3.0 there is a 'sitemap' filter. It would be great if I18N uses it in some next release.

This is also being discussed here: http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread...1#pid42931

However seeing as this also has to do with I18n's Edit navigation structure function I will also post it here for Mvlcek.

The Edit navigation structure function doesn't seem to work properly any more since the 3.3.0 update. I can change the order of pages but it will not save them.

Strangest thing is that it did initially work after I updated but ever since adding a good number of pages to our site it doesn't save them any more.

The total number of pages is now 228. And before it was around 160-170.

Not sure if that has anything to do with things, but I thought it would be good to mention.

Shawn posted a hotfix on GitHub for the regular menu manager bug but with or without the fix its i18n counterpart (at least the one on our site) will not work.

Datiswous experiences the same thing. Shawn did not, I didn't either but do now.

I am not entirely sure if this is a core of i18n plugin bug so therefore I think it is good to make a mention of it here too.

[TeeJay]

Draxeiro,
that is strange. I have updated to 3.3.0 the day it was released (28th January I guess) and everything still works fine.
I have "only" 28 pages (not all of them in menu) and about 20 posts of News Manager. I have tried changing order of the menu items and I didn't notice any troubles. Maybe it comes with the high number of pages, I don't really know, just saying that it's not a bug that shows to everyone in general.

It was the exact same for me. On a smaller site there was not a problem and even on our rather big site, there wasn't a problem either. That is, until I added a good number of extra project pages bringing the total to 228.

So I am guessing too that it might be related to that.

As there is no hard limit in the I18N plugin, this might be caused by one of the following:

• not enough memory for PHP
  
• saving exceeds maximum time allowed for a request
  
• too many open files
  

Please turn on debugging and also look at the (PHP) log files.

[shawn_a]

This is fixed in 3.3.1 alpha please use that version when testing this and report in that thread linked.
See downloads page.

I did implement your hotfix (to no avail with regards to this particular issue), isn't that what you added to 3.3.1 alpha as a fix?

[shawn_a]

yes, but for proper support you need to be running it. I have no idea what you did, need a level playing field to confirm bugs.

How do I change your nav plugin to not treat every single slug with an underscore as a lang when its shows up in pages?
I thought I read this was changed to only detect valid lang strings.

I am having trouble using my enormous qa test site to test your plugin cause I have slugs like this
gen_15196045

Also is this a bug ?
I cannot outdent (reverse of indent) the first and last items in the menu manager.

gen_15196045

This was not changed - the plugin assumes that normally you would use "-" instead of "_".
For the navigation structure viewer to ignore it:

• either remove i18n_base.php, or
  
• add an element <urls-to-ignore>.*_\d.*</urls-to-ignore> to data/other/i18n_settings.xml (untested)
  

Also is this a bug ?
I cannot outdent (reverse of indent) the first and last items in the menu manager.

Last item: yes, it's a bug. Workaround: move item up, outdent, move back.
First item: I can't reproduce it - moving an item to first place outdents it automatically and you can't indent it. Having the second item indented and moving the first one also automatically outdents the second/now first item.
