I am having trouble with language switching.
Joomla 2.5. Just updated FC to 2.1.3r1857

I have two menus, one for each language, I have made the menu item associations.
If I go to my site in English, 'News & Events'

crr.ca/en/news-a-events

The link when I hover over Francais is crr.ca/fr/actualites-et-evenements . This is correct, but when I click it, it goes here:

crr.ca/fr/actualites-et-evenements/279

And the menus and modules change language but the content stays in English.
279 is the category id for 'News & Events'. 'Actualités et événements' is 280.

Any ideas to solve this?
Thank you.

Hello

first let's get some information

please
- go to Joomla plugin manager,
- filter by "system" type
- find the FLEXIcontent Advanced Route plugin, and temporarily enable in it the "debugging" of language switching
- then go to frontend and for you above example (that you described in your original post) switch language and take a note of the messages that appear

- re-test by disabling language switching for categories in the FLEXIcontent Advanced Route plugin

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hi There;

When I turn on "Debug Language Switching" and try the switch I see this message:

Associated menu for 198: 198,199
Joomla language switched associated menu items that did not point to current content: Doing FLEXI switch
*** Language switching category no: 279

If I turn off "Switch Categories" things seem to work as expected, menus and content switch language properly.

I will leave it like that unless you point me in another direction. :)

Thank you
Gord

Hello

yes leave it like that (turned off),

- only use language switch for categories, when:

a. your language of you categories is language "ALL"
b. thus you place items for different languages inside the same category !
