There is no possibility to filter the content according to different language

Funny you should mention that... I'm writing a Drupal book right now on creating multilingual websites and just noticed that obvious omission... so, I hope to add that in a couple/few months. Look back in February or March.

Thanks!
Kristen

It is a pretty easy fix... This has been added to 6.x-1.x-dev and 6.x-2.x-dev. I'll be adding it to the D7 branches today.

Kristen

This has been committed to 7.x-1.x-dev and 7.x-2.x-dev. Please test once it's available online.

Thanks!
Kristen

I'm not sure how long it takes for the cron job to do its work.... hopefully it will be up soon.

Kristen

I already did my part... drupal.org needs to do the rest... ;)

Kristen

The date says 12/22/11 now so you should be good to go.

Kristen

added to 6.x-1.5 and 7.x-1.5

You can choose to show by the language of the content that is being shown. Have you tried that option (it is the first checkbox)? Does that suit your use case? If not, then perhaps I could add an option that only shows content in the user's current language.

Kristen

I just added a new option:

Use the language of the user interface

Perhaps that will do what you are looking for... it will be in the next dev release once drupal.org does its work.

Kristen

Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that you should use "views"? If you know how, then *yes* that would be a great solution. I use "views" all the time. It has great language support.

The FC module is for people who don't know anything about "views" or just want to get a block up quickly without using "views". So, if you know how to use "views", feel free to use that. Or, if you want to try the FC module with the:

"Use the language of the user interface"

then that's fine.

Note that drupal.org takes awhile before it packages up dev versions. If you don't yet see the:

"Use the language of the user interface"

option on the FC block creation page, then try again in a couple hours.

I don't know about language support for these, but other modules that have related-content functionality, you may want to look at: http://drupal.org/node/323329

I hope that makes sense.

Kristen

You say you aren't having luck but I don't know what settings you are using. Are you using the dev release? Can you please take a screenshot of your FC block settings using something like screengrab or kwout?

Thanks,
Kristen

When I go to:

http://www.drupaldeveloper.es/en/blog

I see English nodes in the Featured Content block and when I go to:

http://www.drupaldeveloper.es/blog

I see Spanish nodes in the Featured Content block.

This appears to be correct, no? Are you using "views" for this block or the FC module?

Kristen

The only way I can improve the FC module is by getting detailed information when things aren't working. Remember that you were the one to ask for this feature in the first place ;)

I was able to use the FC module to create langauge-specific blocks, so I'm wondering why you couldn't. If you are happy using views, then that is great. If you want to help me resolve your issue using the FC block, then feel free to:

1) install the latest dev version

2) create an FC block

3) choose the Filtered Content option

4) check the "Use the language of the user interface" checkbox

5) save your block and put it in a region

6) view a Spanish page (no path prefix) => block should only show Spanish nodes

7) view an English page (using /en/ path prefix) => block should only show English nodes

8) if it does not work, take a screenshot of your FC block settings with a screengrab-type program and attach to this issue so I can verify the settings

Thanks,
Kristen

Excellent! Glad it works... ;)

It will get rolled into 7.x-1.6 in a few days.

Thanks for testing!
Kristen

@develway - Just noticed you are using 7.x-2.x-dev but it should be 7.x-1.x-dev. The 2.x branch is for playing with performance improvements (which hasn't happened yet so the branches are currently identical).

I haven't yet created a 1.6 release (right now I'm waiting for some feedback on some db queries I just changed to support databases other than MySQL). If you are able to test the latest 7.x-1.x-dev version (on a *test* version of your site - or at least back up your database *and* module code first) and you confirm it's working for you, then I can tag a 1.6 release.
