I am developing an intranet with Joomla 2.5 and I have two menu type modules, one for each language (English and Spanish). The type of access for both menu items registered user is of type (pre-installed by default in Joomla).
I have activated the module language change and the auto-login plugin (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-a-security/site-access/authentication-cloud-based/10508).
When I access the website through the auto-login (I access directly in English) I can navigate successfully through all the menu items. The problem is when language change. Changing the language session is lost and I get the screen with the login form.
Why session is lost?, What is the problem?.
Thanks for the help.
Greetings!
ok, this might help:
On backend go to site->global->congiguration->system->session settings and try playing with options there.
The problem was not in the core of Joomla. The problem was in a module (which I developed myself) and made a session_destroy(). In addition, this module was assigned to all menu items in Spanish.
I feel have made you waste time. Apologies.
Greetings.

I found a lot of resource on the web talking about issue like mine but nothing worked for me.
I build a joomla 3.4.1 website, installed a rocket theme template (momentum) based on Gantry.
I created 3 categories, 1 for each language. I created the pages. Both pages and categories are correctly set for the good language.
I left a main menu for all language, with a module, deactivated.
I created 3 menus (one for each language) with each time a home page (the flags appear in the menu)
I installed the multilanguage module it seems to be good.
Then I went to the template manager. Let a style for "all languages" and created copies for each language. For each language, I choose the good menu.
Is there anything wrong with what I did ?
I'm really welcoming any kind of help...

I created a website in Joomla 3.4, but the Multilanguage feature is just not working for me. I have followed the steps here:
https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/multi-lingual-joomla/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNI_B3RezgQ
I do not see the flags for my FaLang module and now I have an error about my menu. (my site is salimlawfirm.com/en).
The Spanish site should be at salimlawfirm.com/es but this does not load the website. Instead shows me the root directory.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
You might want to give our component a try Neno Translate it has a bunch of features in addition to Falang.
To make it work you have to be very meticulous. The ostraining link tells you how to work with third parties module/compontents. But you can achieve a multi-language website in Joomla with no extra help.
Install the language packages you need
Activate the related language plugins if need be
Create a "main menu" (for example choose the type blog)per language where you set at list one item which is the home page of your website. Select the language of that item in the language dropdown
now you can create content, but set every time the language of the post.
Joomla has a build in language switcher module that you can use. set it. Now if you select a language, only the post of that language will show up in your home page. you will need to set a main menu module per language published in the same position as well.
I have created a custom joomla template based on blank joomla template from http://blank.vc/. Everything was fine until i clicked either forgot password?, forgot your username? or create account link that bring me to register or reset page in frontend but strangely the top menu was gone.
This is the screenshot :

i have no idea why this could happenned.
Please help with this. I appreciate all the help. Thanks!
The problem is because only on the pages selected option for module assignment is set. If you open a page which doesn't belong to any menu, then module won't be shown on it.
You can either check menu module to be shown on all pages, or make a new menu item for forgot password functionality, and then assign that menu for both menu module, and breadcrumbs module.
I don't know which Joomla version you're using and what you use for translation, but if you use Joomfish or Falang, language translation should be much easier.
If you don't use any of those, and you really need to leave everything as it is, then you can also detect current user language in the template, and load either one or the other menu module based on it. That way you can set module to be shown on all pages, and make sure it is displayed only for the choosen language.
We are using Joomla 1.5.21 and JCE 1.5.7 and have some trouble with the front end saving of articles.
Saving the article in the front end has no effect on the article stored in the database and therefore users on other devices cannot see the modification.
However, the changes ARE visible for the logged in user even after deleting the cache & cookies and reloading the page.
I noticed this behaviour only when the user is classified as an editor or publisher, if he is an author the editor doesn't store any of the changes!
How can I get the article changes to save?
Thanks Salem for your comment but finally we could solve the problem by ourself. The problem was caused by joomfish or more by my OS. I am using a german OS which sometimes switches from english to german on its own, so that we had two different (language) versions in the back- and frontend.
I have to do fix some bugs on a Joomla website that I didn't build. Also, I don't know Joomla. Biggest issue at the moment is that the content displays for registered users but not for regular visitors. The website in question is http://johngilesfoundation.com/
Can anyone help?
It will be nearly impossible to say definitely without knowing what is supposed to display, and what is actually displaying and the extensions that are installed. Joomla 1.5 has a rudimentary access control that could be your issue. In virtually everything - menus, modules, articles, etc - you have the ability to set the Access Level. It is usually on the left side of the details page and the options should be Public, Registered, and Special. Make sure that all of these are set to public.
