Problem multilanguage products

[Reijo]

Tested Joomla 3.6.0, Virtuemart 3.0.17 and virtuemart 3.0.17v2, PHP7
When I add new product then this new product is published all languages. Now I unpublished product for example one language then this effects all languages and product is unpublished.

You have a fallback language in vm3, so a product is always valid for all language.
If you don't want it, then you can disable it in the VM config.

I did glean install Joomla3.6 and Virtuemart3.0.17.2. Confine multilingual and added  product categories and products in main language (DB tables added). Second language shows products and product categories. I did not add translation to second language. DB tables is empty second language.

I think that now, this cannot be disable. I don't know why. Check with the team leader Milbo, why you cannot disable untranslated products and categories in current release.

I think it has something to do with the issue I described in the topic below:
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=134897.0
Yes, as far as I know VM has been working this way from 3rd release :

You have a fallback language in vm3, so a product is always valid for all language.

and rather there is no option to change that in VM config:

If you don't want it, then you can disable it in the VM config.

The only way to "break" the fallback seems to be the hidden setting "prodOnlyWLang" http://docs.virtuemart.net/manual/general-concepts/206-hidden-configurations.html. The problem is... it's not working. Although 

team leader Milbo

hasn't confirmed it yet. Anyway I know that the setting had been working in the previous VM releases. Now is not...

[Milbo]

You should answer me then. Your vmdebug showed the productOnlyWlang deactivated, so I cannot use the result.

[Miku]

You should answer me then.

Sorry, but I don't get it... I did answer you. Vmdebug showed the productOnlyWlang deactivated but as I wrote:

Actually there's no difference in debugging result whether I use the 'prodOnlyWLang' or not

So whether we have productOnlyWlang=1 or whether the setting is absent from virtuemart.cfg the Vmdebug shows the same result -  productOnlyWlang deactivated. I thought it has proven the existence of some problem with that feature.  But now I'm confused...  Did I do something wrong??

[Milbo]

Just activate it and then show/ copy me the vmdebug.

Okey, actually the same (sorry, you cant imagine, ...)

please check the product model around line 287 ( begin function sortSearchListQuery)

Code Select Expand


$langFback = ( !VmConfig::get('prodOnlyWLang',false) and VmConfig::$defaultLang!=VmConfig::$vmlang and VmConfig::$langCount>1 );


Looks like the result is wrong here for your case. You could enable the debug in VM config and use below

Code Select Expand


$langFback = ( !VmConfig::get('prodOnlyWLang',false) and VmConfig::$defaultLang!=VmConfig::$vmlang and VmConfig::$langCount>1 );
vmdebug('My config and lang',(int)VmConfig::get('prodOnlyWLang',false),VmConfig::$defaultLang,VmConfig::$vmlang,VmConfig::$langCount);


My first guess was, that the $langFback is set to true, does it work, when you hardcode it to "false"?

Code Select Expand


$langFback = false;

Okey, actually the same (sorry, you cant imagine, ...)

You mean you sorry that I am not able to understand some things and actually I didn't give you the thing you have expected to see? Yes, it can be because I'm not the programmer.
So to be clear as possible I described what I've done. Please correct me if I do sth wrong..
1.  placing productOnlyWlang=1 in virtuemart.cfg
2.  backend configuration saving
3. Vmdebug
-  for the primary language:

Code Select Expand

vmdebug My config and lang Var1:

1

Var2:

pl_pl

Var3:

pl_pl

Var4:

3

- for the second language (where the issue occurs)

Code Select Expand

1

Var2:

pl_pl

Var3:

en_gb

Var4:

3

4. Vmdebug for

Code Select Expand

$langFback = false; so the code looks like:

Code Select Expand

$langFback = false;
vmdebug('My config and lang',(int)VmConfig::get('prodOnlyWLang',false),VmConfig::$defaultLang,VmConfig::$vmlang,VmConfig::$langCount);
Outcome: Vmdebug shows exactly the same values as in the point 3..

I think I found it, please try the reupped vm3.0.17.4 http://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1010/com_virtuemart.3.0.17.4_extract_first.zip

Yeep. You did  It works now. By the way.... I have one additional question about that 'productOnlyWlang' - Is it responsible only for products (as the name implies) or should do the trick also for categories? - because I see the problem for them too. But maybe it's just something wrong on my part...

[Reijo]

Ok virtuemart 3.0.17.4 removes untranslated products, but product catecoris is still there.

[Milbo]

uhm, usually not necessary. I wonder anyway, why you do not want to work with the fallback, which makes it a lot more commod. Btw, we have even a doubled fallback. For example,... pt-PT to pt-BR, when pt-BR not available use en-GB
