Hi MDDUG, new here. Im from Toledo, but i have been living in Guatemala.
I need a volunteer to help out with a nonprofit website! The problem is with CCK, OG, and i18n synchronize and i18n auto.
I have started a website, www.weguatemala.org, which will be the home page of all things nonprofit / volunteer / humanitarian aid for the country of Guatemala. As you can see, the site is pretty much up and running. This last problem is killing me!!!
If you have a heart for this kind of stuff, a little help would be wonderful, and you will be building a website that will affect millions of poor Guatemalans.
I am hoping to hook up with someone who can volunteer to sit down with me and find a solution to these issues. I have no php experience at all, so
complicated problems like this are not my thing.
the details of the problem:
I18n_auto uses the Rules module to automatically create a new, translated node each time content is created. If I am using the site in English, for example, I can add an organization in English, and upon submitting the form, a corresponding node will be automatically created and translated to Spanish (using the google translator API). The problem is with the CCK fields. When I create an organization, there are several CCK fields (content taxonomy, dates, text) which are set to “synchronize translations.” If the node is created from Admin (user1), the taxonomy terms synchronize and everything is fine. The problem, however, is this: If the node is created from any other authorized user, the taxonomy does not synchronize.
Another possibly related problem is that, for group nodes, the OG settings do not synchronize. Most specifically, if I set the original node to “Moderated - membership requests must be approved,” the automatically created translated node will be set to “Open”.
I just don’t know what to do, and I have no idea why it is happening. I have played with user permissions on “translate content,” but to no avail. I have tried a ton of stuff, but I think its simply over my head. I18n auto is a very small module, as well, and doesn’t get much support in the forums.
If it sounds like something anyone might be able to figure out, let me know, and we can walk through it on my site together.
Thanks so much!
