Issue on language override constant on custom field select filter

intuix

Hi. We have an issue with language override constants on Ja Megafilter filters. It shows the language consant on the select input of the filter. In all other sites it appears correctly, but not here.

This constant is a Joomla Custom Field.

Thanks

Hi intuix

May I know which language constant are you referring to?

Kindly share screenshot so I can help.

Yes, I write a constant on a custom field option. Then I make a language override of this constant to the real name in each language (english and spanish) on Administrator and Site. It apears correctly everywhere except on filter options of your plugin.

I think that is related on your layout file filter.dropdown-item.php , when it writes the options variable {options.frontend_value|s}, It seams that it get the constant text after the language override translate the constants. Because if i change your variable for <?php echo JText::_('TEXT_CF_EXPOSITOR'); ?> , it translate it correctly.

I hope I have explained well 🙂

Could you check the admin account again? as it seems not working now.

Hi, yes sorry. I replicate the issue in test site and now you can enter. I add the correct url to the admin account.

I'm not familiar with the native language on your site, I tried to check a filter but can't see any custom field with the same text: https://prnt.sc/pharta

You can find the custom field at "Content" - > "Fields" and the test i used is "Features"

Then, the Filter is called "TEST" width id 27. And there you can find the "Features" Custom Field

I consulted with our developer but JA Megafilter doesn't support this kind of override language for custom field now. I've put a request for this feature as an improvement.

intuix

OK, thanks. It will be a good thing to be implemented in a future release. Is a good way to have multi language products with the same custom fields. This avoids duplicating custom fields for each language.

Thanks

We received some requests for this so our developer will work on this, pls stay tuned for the new update.

Hi. Is there any update on this new multi-language feature please?
I am also making a multilingual site and want to use different language files as well, without duplicating the joomla custom fields.
