Any hope of field values be translable?

I have upgraded from RC2 to STABLE version and also upgraded mambelfish to Joomfish 1.7. Have created xml contentelement
file to be able to translate custom created field values (that are stored in comprofiler table). I was able to
translate it in the background but in the front it did not work. As someone said in the some forum for Joomfish in orde
to be able to translate anything any SELECT sql statements that pull out these must containg the id. So I think the
problem is that when the filed values are retrieved from the db the SELECT statement does not containg ID field of the
comprofiler table. If it possible to fix it (through a patch or hack or next release) I would greately appreceiate it.

I believe that the latest joomlafish does not need this id field name as the primary index of a table.
If this is the case its a matter of joomlafish xml configuration.

what type of field are you trying to translate?

It does not need it to be the primary index but it needs to be there in the select statement. Otherwise Joom!fish cannot identify the correct field to translate.

What I do for what's being asked in this thread is that I go into the language files and edit them so that the fields have name, description and choosable content translated without resorting to the database. I save a few additional queries this way.

Post us your xml contentelement description xml so that we may check this out for you.

Hello boillat,

You need to send me the file in xml format or else I will not be able to check it out.

Put it up here in the forums please.

Thanks

Here is my contentelement file for comprofiler table. Let me know if I did something wrong with it.
