Many visitors visiting our website by a link to content in a different language from their mother tongue. If they click on the language switcher, they will be redirected to the home link of the current menu. That means they have to navigate to the content again.
Is there a Plugin available that solve this problem?
The use should change the language and see the english version of the specific content.
That should not be the case, if you have set up bi/multi language in the right way.
Have you associated the articles to each others as well as the menu entrys?
You need to have exact copies of your menu.
Are you talking about "Content Pages" that have no menu entry? If so, try to create a menu which is not visible for the user, but use it to associate content.
You find the Association Tab in the Menu Entry Edit
The Falang component allows you to manage all your content translations, even the content of all your components/modules, on your web site.
Falang doesn't use the default language system of Joomla 2.5 and 3.3. You don't have to specify a language for each content article or menu item (which results in a huge amount of duplication). You don't need to create few menu copies, few articles/categories copies for different languages.
Here is described how to use it

I've been building a TYPO3 website. I wanted to use the multi-language capacity of TYPO3 and get acquainted with the CMS. I'm using V.9.5.6 at the moment with the Introduction Package.
I followed the manual on multi-language setup here : https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-frontendlocalization/9.5/en-us/Index.html
When switching languages, the page refreshes but no visible changes occur.
I deleted the original "German" et "Dansk" languages, then added "French" and "German". I used the contact page as proving grounds.
I added translations in germand and french from the original english page I built. There's only a header and a contact form. In english, it reads "contact form". In german and french it should read respectively "Kontaktieren Sie uns" and "Contactez-nous".
The languages UIDs are 2 for German and 3 for French. The template, in the languages section, has "auto" for the list of languages and it pulls correctly the 2 I added, in the correct order.
In a properly setup website, if default language is English, and I click on the "German" or "French" language button at the bottom, the page should refresh and display the content translated in the language I selected and have the selected language in bold at the bottom of the page.
When clicking on the bottom links, it adds the correct L= parameter and the page loads but no visible change occur on the page. Even the language link at the bottom of the page has "Default" in bold instead of whatever I clicked.
There is NO error message when clicking on the language buttons.
I'm pretty sure this is not the standard behavior of a TYPO3 multi-lingual installation. What can cause the CMS to not fetch a translated content OR fail to get the language change information from the parameters passed in the URL ?
I'll try to answer this vague question.
Usually there are three pitfalls you should look at:
realurl (or routes in v9) here is a nice gist: https://gist.github.com/koehlersimon/9dcbabb6b1b2adcbc84db96fd144fb08
TypoScript settings for the languages: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/guide-frontendlocalization/9.5/en-us/TyposcriptConfiguration/Index.html#typoscript-configuration
proper .htaccess in connection with [1.]
I also suggest to update to v 9.5.9
There have been plenty bugfixes since v 9.5.6 and updating within branch 9.5.X is really easy and non-breaking!
I'm in trouble to build a multilevel drodown menu in a site made with typo3.
I created the pages and organized them in their hierarchy, but the second level of the dropdown menu doesn't appear.
I searched but just find TypoScript related topics, but I'm in an specific environment that doesn't allow me to Code with TypoScript.
I wonder if there is any configuration I haven't seen.
Can anyopne help me?
If you are not allowed to use typoscript at all you are only an editor. And it's not the job of an editor to build menus. Go to your admin/integrator and give him the job to display multiple levels.
If you have the possibility to create template records, but the whole configuration is done in a site-extension (where you have no access), you still can create/ enhance the menu and give that typoscript to the developers.
There are contentelements to build menus, but for the page main-menu I never would use them.
A better solution is the usage of menu viewhelpers in the page templates/ partials/ layouts.
My preferred way: build the menu in typoscript in a fluid-variable and use it in the fluid-templates.
I don't know how your site gets it menu. From your description I assume that the menu misses either the configuration for deeper level at all. Or it missses expAll = 1 so you only see pages around your rootline.
I need to create a website with two languages one with English and German. I'm not aware of TYPO3 scripts.
As I studied different references I saw this one and tried to work out.
But I'm not able to use it because their is no language bar in top of my TYPO3 back end. Also when i tried to add language in drop down of edit page and add content page it shows only 'Default' in the list.
How can make a website with different language switching in front end?
thanks in advance
The "List"-Module (on the left) is your friend:
chose the list module and afterwards your rootpage in the pagetree (PID = 0).
In the content section in the right upper bar you can "create a new record".
Chose "Website language" and fill in the wanted properties and values...
Afterwards you will find the dropdown to create a page translation in the newly added language...
How could I trigger in JS a click on the pageitem of TYPO3 BE pagetree by an ID of the page ?
Looking for solutions for versions 4.5 and 6.1.
The basics are described in this document (might be slightly deprecated):
http://buzz.typo3.org/people/steffen-kamper/article/backend-navigation-in-typo3-45/
For example, to open the submodule "task center" in the "user tools" module, enter this
top.TYPO3.ModuleMenu.App.showModule('user_task');
or, to change to the pagetree, this
top.TYPO3.ModuleMenu.App.showModule('web_layout');
inside the firebug console. According to the author,
The pagetree resides in top.TYPO3.Backend.NavigationContainer, the
content resides in top.TYPO3.Backend.ContentContainer.
I haven't really understood what you'd like to click on exactly. But it might get you started.
I think in real life (or in an html fragment in a page in the backend) you can set <a javascript:...> urls</a>
I am still trying to figure out the fine points of this javascript myself. I for one want to also click on a select-box in the content Iframe after clicking in the Admintools/Report submodule. The first part is this:
top.TYPO3.ModuleMenu.App.showModule('tools_txreportsM1');
We currently have a need to add a custom menu item to the Send To menu within our document libraries that would allow a user to create a link to the currently selected list item within another library. When the user clicks on the new "Send Link to..." menu item, they should be prompted to browse to the library in which the link should be added. Once the user chooses a destination, the link, along with the metadata from the list item, should magically appear in the selected desitnation library. Once again, we only want a link, not a copy of the file. Is this possible to do? Code examples would be much appreciated.
Does it have to be in the send to menu? Can it also be directly in the context menu (say at the bottom)? If so, you can create a feature that deploys a CustomAction to the site. If it really, REALLY needs to be under the "send to" menu, you are going to have to use javascript (since that is how the out of the box context menu is created) to "hijack" the menu and insert your own item.
IMHO this is rarely needed, a CustomAction is the preferred way of doing this. It is the easiest and most "maintainable" (all it is is a feature + customaction definition with maybe some code, all of which are deployed using a solution).
More info on CustomActions here.
P.S. if you do decide to go with javascript, don't go editing the out of the box sharepoint js files in SharePoint's 12 Hive, but add a ContentEditorWebPart to the page and insert your Javascript in there.
P.P.S. While assigning a method from an assembly as the action for a CustomAction is allowed in most cases, it is not for the ListEdit (item) context menu.
What they say is that "Sharepoint server 2010 will have it out of the box", i.e. documents may stay where they were created and links go to the Records center (named "In Place Records Management, see http://www.cmswire.com/cms/document-management/the-scoop-sharepoint-2010-records-management-005948.php).
MOSS 2007 requires the actual document to be copied to the Records repository to be registered.
