October CMS - RainLab.Translate causing issues with RainLab.Blog


I'm an amateur website developer working on my first ever professional project where I'm using the plugins RainLab.Blog and RainLab.Translate in an October CMS installation. Ever since I installed and configured the translation plugin, I'm unable to publish new articles where I'm getting an error message saying "The content field is required.", tho I am able to update existing articles.

I have noticed that by selecting a different language in the Title-field and Slug-Field, they show up empty for the new language, as expected. However, the content area does not and I am unable to re-write the article in any other language.

New article, first language: New blog post in October CMS using RainLab.Blog

Same article, different language: enter image description here

As you can see, the content field won't play ball.

If there is something more I can provide to clarify the issue or if anybody got some feedback, it would be much appreciated.


Solution

  • I think maybe you need to update your OctoberCMS version as I checked with the latest version and did not face any issue, please check the attached video (if its what you are talking about)

    OctoebrCMS Build Version : 2.0.17
    Blog Plugin Version : 1.5.1
    Tranlate Plugin Version : 1.9.0
    

    enter image description here

    may be you just need to update version as with new version may be they solved issues.

    To update OctoberCMS

    First  => php artisan october:update
    Second => php artisan october:migrate
    

    Then it should work.

    It seems in Translation plugin version 1.8.7 they have fixed this issue.

    1.8.7 => Fixes Markdown editor translation.
    

    if any doubt please comment.
