Multilanguage flags css problem - v.2.0.22c

[nrap]

Joomla 2.5.14
Virtuemart 2.0.22c
Multilanguage site using joomla's built in multilanguage support.

Languages Greek + English.

Default language is Greek in VM.
When changing from Greek to English the popup that there is no language pops up but the flags are nowhere to be shown.
A quick look at the /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/assets/css/menu_images.css shows that the flags are set to:

td.flag-el and td.flag-gb

instead in my website they are set to
td.flag-gr and td.flag-en

adding the following to the menu_images.css fixes the problem

td.flag-en,.flag-gb{ background: url(../images/flag/en.png) no-repeat 0 0; padding-left:20px !important;}
td.flag-gr,.flag-gr{ background: url(../images/flag/el.png) no-repeat 0 0; padding-left:20px !important;}

Hi everybody!
After the update to Virtuemart 2.0.22c on Joomla 2.0.14 I'm not able to use the Multilanguage feature! 
Initially, I create all categories only in English but I install also the italian language for the backoffice.
Than I update the Virtuemart 2.0.22b to 2.0.22c and activate the multilanguage option with english (gb) and italian (it).
When I enter into a category, I see the dropdown menu with English (I don't see english flag) and Italian (I see italian flag).
When I select Italian I see the popup that there is no language so I set the italian category name, url, title, meta-description, meta-keys and description.
BUT, if I press save, all this italian information OVERWRITE the english informations and viceversa!
So by now I'm not able to use the multilanguage feature! I try also to use various browser and I try also to create new categories but the problem remain.
Please, can you help me to undersand how to solve!? I have many Virtuemart website and it's the first time that I see this bug!
Thank you so much.

hi, similar issue here, Virtuemart 2.0.22c / Joomla 2.0.14, standard language en-gb

After update to Virtuemart 2.0.22c:
no matter which language chosen, product-text will get stored to en-gb

works again after downgrading to 2.0.22b...

[guidocx842]

It works if you downgrade??
How do you do the downgrade? Simply install the 2.0.22b over the 2.0.22c?
Is not a risk? I'm thinking to the database... thanks!

Hello,

Arf, I'm not alone with desperate mind ...

Joomla 2.5.14
Virtuemart 2.0.22b

I have same problem with flag and if I try to edit any other language, the default language is erase by the new entry !

I modify english or spanish, so french default language is erase by last modification

Default : French
Other : Italian, English, Spanish

I tried on local to update to 2.0.22c, but same problem with language.
I downgrade to 2.0.22b, that's seem to correct the bug. But no english flag yet

What could we do ?

I post here too : http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118456.0

Thanks and all the best

@ guidocx842

sorry for confusion, i tested on a local backup.

i never update the live-site until the update passed all my testing cases (including clone/new product + new category etc.)

so yes, i simply install the 2.0.22b over the 2.0.22c, works locally for me.

if you have no backup, do a backup now and check locally, if this downgrade works for you
(and backup before EVERY joomla + vm update from now on and keep copies stored for a while...)

Hi gogo123 and thank you for your answer!
You're right! I usually make a backup before every update of Joomla or Virtuemart but, in this case, I'm wrong because I think that I can install the update with no problems... I read 2.0.22c STABLE and HARDENED...! It's a sub sub version...   
Now I'm copying the website locally and I'll try the downgrade to 2.0.22b... I will say you if I solve... thank you by now!

Hello,
I can confirm that there is a problem there.

After updating to v. 2.0.22c, every time I try to change the language and press save, the default language is overiden by the whatever language I have... Worked on 2.0.22b though.
Any solutions?

[guidocx842]

Hi everybody!
I can confirm that downgrading to 2.0.22b the problem is completely solved.
So, if you are interested in multilanguage support, do not install 2.0.22c release! 
I'm sure that in future release the problem will be solved...

My menu_images.css was already in that format.
Even 22b caused problems for some reason, I had to downgrade back to 22a and now it works.

Same problem in Categories:

Created a category with the default language (greek)
Pressed the English button - popup appeared that there is no en-gb translation - OK
Edited the name (test category english) -> Save
The category reappeared with the Greek text as the English one.
Pressing the English translation popup that there is no english translation reappears...

Shit,

I am really sorry for this. we had to change this part, because it was a big security issue. There are testers with multilanguage pages, but seems they did noticed this error testing a product. Here is a fix. Please test, we will release a d version asap.

path is \administrator\components\com_virtuemart\helpers. thx.

2.0.22c + new config.php works for me (local)! thanks milbo for the quick fix!!!


just for far future:
products -> field "product search" is prefilled with "0" now and does not remember searchword like before

on selecting/going back to english (my default) in product (same for category), i see no flags (no problem, but might be confusing to new vm-users)

on saving (not save+close) product (same for category) vm jumps back to english (no problem, but might be confusing to new vm-users too)

[Milbo]

thx, also fixed, I fear we must release a D version.

22c and new config.php didn't do anything for me.
Same problem exists, I tried to install it twice but only the first language can be edited (two languages in my shop).

Even 22b has the same problem... 22a works flawlessly.
