K2 Item association when switching languages
« on: March 09, 2015, 12:33:21 pm »

Hello,

I would like to clarify if I will be able to create k2 item associations for front end?
For example, when you view k2 item in english language and then decide to switch to another language you get redirected to the same item in other language?

Thank you for replying!

I've actually already installed your extension and saw that this is possible, which is very nice, however, I've encountered a bug, at least I think it's a bug. When I pressed the translate button I get two content fields. Please see image attached.


I also wanted to ask what exactly does Database Type - Jdiction_mqsqli does? I've just never seen approach like this in any extension.

falang and joomfish does the same the only difference is that they change the databasedriver at runtime.

k2 has a introtext and a fulltext like standard joomla, jdiction split these 2 database fields into 2 editor windows.
