[4.2.x] Multilanguage Associations - Copy BUGs #19807
Comments
Creating the new copy as NOT published and NOT associated was volunteer. Discussion: #15206 As far as I remember, I had proposed to throw an alert on Close (Which is in fact a Cancel operation) to let the user know before closing that he should Save Target, AFTER modifying it, to fit the language concerned. This comment was created with the J!Tracker Application at issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/19807. |
Look also here |
Basically, if one was able to just use Copy Reference to target and get an associated item, the result could be really wrong as there is always some stuff to change in the Target (not only the Language which is done automatically) before associating it. For example the category of the article, the menu type of a menu item, etc. Therefore it is NOT a bug, but could be improved. |
Hi infograf768, Now, Discussion: #14834 - Here you wrote: "The association should ONLY be created when the Target is saved", but also here: "I had proposed to throw an alert on Close (Which is in fact a Cancel operation)". I'm agree, in my opinion, in first of all, Close that is in fact a Cancel operation should permit a regress without save nothing. So the "Copy Reference to Target" should only input contents without an article creation till a "Save Target" is not performed. Discussion: #15206 - I'm totally agree. |
Hi guys, |
Thank you for raising this issue. Joomla 3 is now in security only mode with no further bug fixes or new features. This is still an issue in Joomla 4 I am going to leave it open however and ask that the tag is updated for Joomla 4. Who know, maybe it will scratch someones itch and they will work on a usable solution. |
Hi guys,
last 3.8.5 Joomla on PHP 7.1.14 - Multilingual Associations:
1 - selecting article and language the Multilingual Associations with "Reference" Article is opened
2 - selecting the Target language the new empty article layout is shown correctly on the right;
3 - clicking on "Copy Reference to Target" button the content is copied on the Target article
4 - But the article is yet created! If I click "close" the language association isn't made, but the new language article is yet created! No need to click on "Save Target" - BUG - While the article creation should wait my "Save Target" click.
5 - If I repeat steps from 1 to 4 another new copy new language has created, creating more than one same new language article copy! - BUG While, in my opinion, a check should be on the existence of the new language, also if not yet associated to the original article.
Thanks for support!
