3.6.0-beta.1 - Languages not showing in backend

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
,
1

I just updated Kirby to the new 3.6.0-beta.1 on a website I’m working on.

The languages work in the frontend - but I can’t see the language option (the button to switch between then & they don’t show in the settings) in the backend.

Nothing has changed in the my config file or in the langages folder…

I have no idea where to look or how to solve this.
Any idea?

Many thanks!

UPDATE:
if I downgrade to 3.5.7.1 the languages work also in the backend

Have you removed the media folder and cleared the cache?

I just downloaded a fresh Starterkit, replaced kirby with the beta and enabled languages without any issues and the button is there.

I did, but still not working…

4

Are you using any Panel plugins (which ones) or custom Panel code? Of course, this could be a Kirby issue or related to some plugin that is not compatible yet.

5

I’m just using the Kirby Meta Knight SEO plugin and no custom panel code.
Could it be the problem?

6

I don’t think so. The plugin adds some custom sections, which shouldn’t actually interfere.

If you test with a fresh Starterkit with the beta in your environment, can you reproduce the issue?

I found the problem!

Thanks for your suggestion @texnixe :
with a fresh starterkit the languages where working.
I then tried to add 'languages.detect' => true (as in my project) in the config and the languages stopped working.

Also in my project if I remove 'languages.detect' => true the languages are working well also in the backend.

Is this a known bug? Is there already a way to fix it?

Thanks again!

I couldn’t reproduce the issue with fresh starterkit or demokit on 3.6.0-beta.1.

mmmh, so for you languages.detect is working fine?

10

Yes as expected.

11

if it’s my environment to cause the problem - any idea where the issue could come from?

12

I just enabled languages.detect as well in the Starterkit without encountering your issue.

Thanks everyone for your replies and time.

The cause of the issue is a stupid mistake I had in my code - nevertheless till Kirby 3.5.7 was not a problem, but it is in Kibry 3.6 (for the better I guess).

This was my config file in Kirby 3.5.7:

return [
    'languages.detect' => true
];

The missing 'languages' => true wasn’t a problem, but in Kirby 3.6 if this is missing the language button disappears from the backend.

This works as expected:

return [
    'languages' => true,
    'languages.detect' => true
];
