Have you come across a strange error message in your Typo3 Flexible Content Elements (FCE) saying that “langChildren = 0” and it is probably a configuration error? You will probaby have looked around where to set this configuration value…and you will probably not have found it. So here’s how you can fix it:
In TemplaVoila look for your FCE’s data structure (DS) and klick on the pen next to the title, not the title, then you should see the XML of this DS starting like this:
...
There you need to add the meta section and add the langDisable and langChildren properties. For container Elements you will most likely not require different language versions, so setting the values to 1 for both properties works well. The XML of your DS should now look like this:
1
1
...
This way translations are in the “separate” mode. However, for DS in multi-language sites a good way to go is the “Inheritance” mode. There you keep the page layout and structure across multiple pages, and content is inherited from the default language, so basically the translated version looks exactly the same as the one in the default language. The cool thing is that you can now translate selected content elements to other languages and keep others the way they are. So e.g. images can stay the same, but texts can now be translated.
You should definitely have a look at section “FlexForms” in the Frontend Localization Guide , also available as PDF for further reference! Hope this helps somebody.

I am speaking at the Mobile Web Americas conference, in October in Orlando, Florida. The Mobile Web Americas conference will take place 2 – 4 October 2007.I am pretty excited, because this conference is all about the mobile web. My presentation will be about “Pragmatic Mobile Ajax – an Ajax Library for constrained browsers in action”. I am speaking about Mobile Ajax and how it can improve the user experience in mobile web applications. I will introduce the Frost Ajax Library as a tool for Ajax development on constrained browsers, such as those on mobile phones or gaming consoles. The session will show how and why the Frost library came to life and sheds some light on the underlying approach, which is quite different from other Ajax libraries. Read the rest of this entry »

After submitting a position paper, today I got my invite to the Mobile Ajax workshop in Mountain View in late September (28th). I am really looking forward to this since it is one of the rare events that focus exclusively on Ajax on mobile devices and many important and interesting people that are involved in this topic are likely to be present. It’s also the first workshop (= not conference) on this topic. So I am very excited and happy to have the chance to attend this event and meet everybody. Read the rest of this entry »

On August, 18, I attended the BarCampBlock. Although it was almost two weeks ago, I still feel like I should post about it, because it was my first BarCamp and also its anniversary (block)party. The BarCampBlock took place in Palo Alto – at the place it started. I went by bus from San Francisco to Palo Alto and it took me almost 2 hours. But it was worth it. Almost 1,000 participants attended this year. Amazing!
I met so many interesting people and of course the guys from Citizen Space :) Thanks go out to Tara, Chris, Liz, Hillary and anybody I can’t think of now, who all did a great job by organizing such a great event. The center of this whole event was the office of Socialtext, where there were an impressively huge wall with different discussion sessions. You could either open a new session yourself or join an existing one. Socialtext already hosted the first BarCamp in 2005. Read the rest of this entry »
