    • Some questions

    Posted by cosmin posts: 96 Romania

    Folks, I think that TW is missing two important features, unless I'm too blind too see them.

    1) external links for the file galleries (meaning that you can't specify links to files, you have to upload each and every file to your site, which if you have big files, would very quickly consume your allocated server space, meaning it's not really practical). Any plans to add this feature or is it already there but well hidden?

    2) True multilingual content. Sure, you can switch the site interface to another language but you can't have the same article in several languages from what I can tell. Or can you?

    1) is unfortunately not developed.

    2) It's very poor. See MultilingualDev. There is one plugin that can help with that,

    So can an average php guy help? Read that as "not really a programmer head"?
    Forgot to ask. Is this what the "use database for translation" is about? And if so, how to use it?

    Not at all, this feature is to avoid manually editing language.php files when you want to customize something, making it upgrades-proof. Unfortunately last time I checked it produced an unreasonable number of SQL queries.

    Why don't you use Directory to link to external files?

    Directory is not a plugin but a regular feature you can activate through Admin Features.
