Hi guys,

I'm on the way to redesign my portfolio and want to create a multilingual website with three different languages. Every part of the site is working well but I have a problem with the gallery which I create out of folders. The layout is still the same like my current portfolio. For example: http://robert-langbein.com/photography.php and every category there is a separate folder. The problem now is that I can't add a folder description and title for every language and I don't have any idea how I can solve this...

I hope that some of you can help me

Hi,

Although I am not sure what the exact structure of your site is, I think 'Extended entities' (
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8581) could come in useful in this scenario.

Specifically the 'Extended folders' part (http://www.couchcms.com/docs/extended-e ... /post2.htm) - using which you can create a normal template (with separate editable regions defined for all the languages) and associate it with the folders.

This way we can add/retrieve info for all languages with any folder.

Would this help?

That's exactly what I need! Thx m8

Ok, I have a new problem.

When I go to my photography-section I would like to see a list of categories like models or architecture etc. and when I click on one of them I would like to be referred to a site where I can see the models and their pictures (sub-categories). I'll try to show it:

> home
> photography
-models
- candy []
- chocolate []
-architecture
- hobbit-building []

([] means pictures)

I want to do this with folders but I'm not able to show up the folders "models" and "architecture" and make them linkeable to the sub-categories/folders with the pictures.

This seems to be a staple usecase involving folder-view and listing in it the pages contained within the folder -
http://docs.couchcms.com/concepts/views.html
http://docs.couchcms.com/concepts/listing-pages.html

The folders can be listed (with their links) using cms:folders tag (http://docs.couchcms.com/concepts/using-folders.html).

If your usecase involves something different, please post some mockups (or wireframes) showing how the data should be displayed and we can discuss ways of implementing it.

Also, this seems to be unrelated to the original topic of this thread.
May I request you to please create a new thread for this discussion?

Thanks.
