Ticket: Latest 3 entries in selected language won’t come up

Description:
I would like to display the latest 3 channel entries in the selected language. In this case the 4 latest channel entries only have an English version, while I am watching the page in Dutch. Because of this I am not getting any results back.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Use the following code in the template: {exp:channel:entries channel="blog" dynamic="off" publisher_lang_id="{publisher:current_language_id}” publisher_enable_persistence=“n” publisher_cache=“yes” limit=“3” disable=“categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination”}
2. Persistent Entries in the settings is set to “yes”.
3. Show content fallback (FE) in the settings is set to “no”.

Did you try removing the persistent_entries param from the tag? That’s probably what is doing it.

I have tried it without the publisher_enable_persistence param, but than I get the 3 latest English translations which I don’t want to show.

I have looked into the Module code. First the channel entries are being retrieved. The amount is being determined with limit. After that, there is a check if the entries have the correct language. If not the concerning entry is being popped out of the list.

It’s working as intended. If there is no Dutch translation it will show the English translation as the fallback. That is what persistence is. There is a docs page on it.

Is there a possibility to show only the tree latest entries in the selected language?

Publisher doesn’t modify limits. You need to use the native limit=”3” parameter. As mentioned, if you have persistence turned on, and you don’t have translations for non-default languages, then the default language value will be displayed for those entries when viewing the site in a non-default language. If you turn persistence off, which means that the entry will not be displayed if it does not have a translation, then the entries will not show up. If your selected language is Dutch, and the latest 3 entries that should show don’t have a Dutch translation, but entries 4-6 do have a translation, then they should be moved into positions 1-3, thus showing the 3 latest.

I am using the native limit. I meant that the channel entries retrieves the entries according to the limit that is set in the tag.

Persistent Entries in the cp is now set to “No”. I tried:

{exp:channel:entries channel=”blog” dynamic=”off” publisher_lang_id=”{publisher:current_language_id}” publisher_enable_persistence=”n” publisher_cache=”yes” limit=”3” disable=”categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination”} -> No results

{exp:channel:entries channel=”blog” dynamic=”off” publisher_cache=”yes” limit=”3” disable=”categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination”} -> The tree last English entries.

{exp:channel:entries channel=”blog” dynamic=”off” publisher_lang_id=”{publisher:current_language_id}” publisher_cache=”yes” limit=”3” disable=”categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination”} -> The tree last English entries.

I also tried the above template tags with Persistent Entries set to “Yes”. I am getting the same results. What am I missing?

Madelon, I don’t think you’re missing anything. After looking into it for a few minutes I think something is broken with the persistence right now. Sorry for any issues this causes. Due to my current schedule I may not have a fix for this for a week or two.

Glad to read that something might not be right and you will look into it.

I now also noticed an inconsistency with the persistency. On another page I am getting the results I want, but can’t quite put my finger on the difference right now. If I know more, you will hear from me.

I found out what the problem is: pagination has to be used for the persistence to work. I used disable=”categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination”. Instead of that I now use disable=”categories|category_fields|member_data” and the pagination tags: {paginate}{/paginate}.

For now I have a solution. I would be great though if persistence also works without the use of pagination. 😉

Madelon, I’m going to close this b/c the build I sent you fixes this.

And for anyone else who sees this, it’ll be in the 1.6.6 release.
