sh404sef problem - joomla

Im using Joomfish with two different languages. I have translated all the categorys and etc with joomfish. Everything works fine in site, but url-s are also in main language ( won´t be translated).
Do I have to translate them in sh404sef also?
or somebody can tell me what might be the problem?
thx

You may want to check the settings in sh404sef - you can view settings by component:
Components -> sh404SEF -> Configuration Tab -> sh404sef configuration -> By Component tab
That will give you access to the ability to change things depending upon language files and stuff.
Not sure if that helps - but it's where I would start. Also the dev's are very active on their forums and are a great help in situations like this. I can't remember how nicely Joomfish & sh404SEF play together.

Joomla / Gantry Multi language website error 404

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...
The URL is: www.bsports.be
(On safari, I've a too many redirect issue, not on chrome)
Settled thanks to:

Made some change to the .htaccess and it works fine now, hope this will help others

Language switcher in joomla 3 not showing flags

I'm trying to make the language switcher to work, I have already made all menus for each language I was gonna use, but when I enable this module, It just shows me the name of the module(when I put it to show), not the flags. What should i do?
I lost a full day of my life with this topic.
The issue was that language tag was badly setup in System -> Language Manager -> Content
For example for French I had fr when it should have been fr-FR
After that I had to rebuild/redo all the Language assignments for French on Pages, categories, menus, template.
The flag finally showed up...
It's an old question but, telling from the comments, a recurring problem. Seems like there can be multiple root causes. One thing to check is also that you have marked the default menu item for each language. If not, the corresponding language does not show in the language switcher.
Found that You need to set a default homepage that can be in hidden menu (and redirect from later) to Language "All"
But then also go to each menu and make the page 1 language and also Homepage.
So for me I have now 3 language homepages menu items. All, En, De
How did I discover this:
I needed to turn on a module in the Admin:
Language Status Administrator Module
This makes a small button bottom left in the Admin, and modal points out 3 different topic per language installed, told me I had not any homepages, and so would get no flags. (Thanks to Per on Joomla forum answer from 2016)
Happy fixing.
you need to set up the languages in the Language Manager? under extensions..
and make sure you published the "System - Language Filter" plugin.
Plugins -> System - Language Filter -> Automatic Language Change -> No
This will prevent automatic language changin which is often reason for this

Add HTML to skadate sidebar

Can someone explain how exactly to add some html to the sidebar of a template in Skadate? It is using smarty templates and I am trying a lot of different ways but have been unsuccessful.
It is located in Layout -> Components -> Page_Sidebar -> Default.tpl. Be sure to also clear the site cache in the admin panel after making changes. I missed that and that is why none of my changes were showing up.

force language in Joomla

I have a multilingual website (spanish and english) using Joomla 2.5.7. I want to force the default languague to spanish regardless of the default browser languague on the visitor's computer.
I already checked Extensions -> Language Manager and marke Spanish the default. But it keeps showing in english even after I clear the browser cache.
I also checked Extensions -> Language Manager Content tab and put spanish first without luck.
What I'm missing?
Thanks!
Ok, the solution was:
Extensions -> Plug In Manager then search for System - Language Filter and under Basic Options change Language Selection for new Visitors accordingly
Hope this helps someone else

Firefox plugin to build custom links for the right click menu

In Firefox, I'd like to be able to highlight a word or number, then right click and have options that would open various custom links such as:
View User Profile -> http://mysite.com/user/HIGHLIGHTEDWORD
View User Admin Page -> http://mysite.com/admin/user.php?user=HIGHLIGHTEDWORD
View Order Page -> http://mysite.com/orderdetailspage.php?order_id=HIGHLIGHTEDWORD
Something like that would save me and my team a lot of time.
Does anyone know is such a plugin exists, and if not what would be involved in developing one?
thanks
This page has some options for Menu customization extensions:
Maybe you could use one of those extensions with keyword searches?
I believe in you!
I know you're trying to save yourself some time with due diligence researching whether it's been done, but with the power of copy and paste, you could "write your own" almost as quickly as asking the question.
