How to switch language in admin about django-parler HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi!

thanks for dropping a note.

The language tabs are displayed in the template, using parler/templates/admin/parler/language_tabs.html

These will only be displayed when:

• the model inherits from TranslatableModel
• the change_form_template somehow loads admin/parler/change_form.html.

Perhaps something is overwritten there?

If you use custom admin change_form.html templates, you can either let them inherit admin/parler/change_form.html, or copy-paste the language tabs in your template:

{% block object-tools %}{{ block.super }}
{% if language_tabs %}{% include "admin/parler/language_tabs.html" %}{% endif %}
{% endblock %}

Very grateful for your tips, I hacked for a minute and found out that $language_tabs was empty in my template. And then it came easy from this, I was using site_id in my settings but forgot about that. So just adding key to list of languages, from None to 1, and it get populated again.

Now it's working, yey and I can continue investigating and evaluating if suitable in exchange for django-hvad. Looks great so far.

One note: your app is working out of the box with django-suit, which is best template for Django admin I know. Good job!

For those interested here's a snippet to fancy up the django-suit implementation (no static files required).. I removed the delete links, but it's easy to opt them back in with a nice bootstrap icon or whatever suits you :-)

{% if language_tabs %}
    <h4 class="italic-title">{% trans "Languages" %}</h4>
    <ul class="box menu-box">
        {% for url,name,code,status in language_tabs %}
            {% if status == 'current' %}
                  <input type="hidden" class="language_button selected" name="{{ code }}" />
                  <li class="current" style="font-weight: bold;">
                    <a><i class="icon-ok icon-alpha75"></i> {{ name }}</a>
                  </li>
            {% else %}
                <li class="{{ status }}">
                    <a href="{{ url }}">{{ name }}</a>
                </li>
            {% endif %}
        {% endfor %}
    </ul>
{% endif %}
