I have a component for Joomla which I need to add an admin editable field to in order to display custom html. This needs to be multi-lingual and my idea is to display and article in the component so that it is easily maintainable.

How would I do that without external plugins? Or, what is a better way of doing it?

The best way, if you want to avoid php-programming, would be to use Joom!Fish. This way you will have full multi-lingual support.

  • I am using that, but the problem is that I need to add content to the page that the admin can update. And I do not want to code PHP so I am trying to find an easy way of loading an article into my component. – Pieter Dec 10 '10 at 18:55
  • I see. Have you tried to "Select Menu Item Type", Internal Link, Articles, Article, Article Submission Layout, which allows registered users to submit an Article through the front-end and also publish it if they have permissions? – Costis Aivalis Dec 10 '10 at 19:03
  • Ok, I have now created a custom html component and translated it with Joomla, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The module however disappear after a postback even with ItemId in the URI. Any ideas? – Pieter Dec 10 '10 at 21:39
  • Have you selected in the Publishing Area 1. Section, 2. Category, 3. Published Check, 4. Start Publishing date ? – Costis Aivalis Dec 10 '10 at 21:52
  • Yes, it works if I navigate to the component using the menu, but not when I submit the form on the page...it just disappears :( – Pieter Dec 11 '10 at 00:56
  • Ok, you live you learn. I did not have my form's action as a JROUTE:: but hardcoded as a string instead, so Joomfish had no clue what I was looking at. Thanks for the help! – Pieter Dec 11 '10 at 23:08
