Core

Forgot to mention - is is also reproduceable with a custom extension which extends the pages and pages_language_overlay tables

Same for me. Settings in localconf is:

'pageOverlayFields' => 'uid,title,subtitle,nav_title,keywords,description,abstract,author,author_email,url,urltype,shortcut,shortcut_mode',

It is without media.

Translated Pages should get image from default language by this code:

10 = IMAGE
10 {
wrap = |
required = 1
file {
import = uploads/media/
import.field = media
import.listNum = 0
treatIdAsReference = 1
width = 275c
height = 160c
ext = jpg
}


In TYPO3 6.2.3 it worked. But now, in TYPO3 6.2.11 no image is shown in translated pages

We just merged a patch in 6.2 that might be related. Can you please check, if this solves the problem for you?

The patch does not make any difference to me

I tried to reproduce this on current master.
I used the TS from 8) and everything works like expected. The image assigned to page A (default lang) is shown on all page and language combinations.

So it seems to be an issue on 6.2 only. Didn't verify things there yet.

i'm not at work anymore so i can't verify this at the moment, but i'm pretty sure this worked already - so i assume Christian van Holten could be right, that this worked in 6.2.3 and is now broken

i'll test this on monday to check if there is any difference with different versions of 6.2

also as i mentionend "pageOverlayFields" seems to be ignored in LocalConfiguration.php - if you empty it completely it makes no difference and the overlay for all other fields will still work - as far as i understand the related code, not all of the default configuration is overwritten by LocalConfiguration.php - but by an AdditionalConfiguration.php - this is pretty wierd and intransparent and does not seem to work in this case either - if some values are removed form the default file in the core, the override stops working - but in either case, there is no effect if you remove "media" or not (which was the solution we used in TYPO3 4.5)

i've no isolated the problem - i checked this 6.2.10, 6.2.11 and 6.2.3 - i have not checked other versions

media is present in pageOverlayFields
l10n_mode is set to mergeIfNotBlank
references are collected with data = levelmedia:-1, slide

same as before, page a and b where a is translated with images and b is not

if you request page b in translation you get the image set in the translation of page a and not the image in the default language of page b

it seems the slide is done before the overlay - if you remove media from overlay fields it is not overlayed, but the slide works as expected

with the same code (without references/fal) this worked in 4.5

this is not a big issue with smaller sites with a few translations, but if you have a huge site with lots of translations, this is really PITA for the editor

Edit: i've found an old issue, which did in principle the same with tt_content records #19718

Overlaying the media field in 6.2.14 works!

I used

$GLOBALS['TCA']['pages_language_overlay']['columns']['media']['l10n_mode'] = 'mergeIfNotBlank';

AND

page = PAGE
page.10 = FILES
page.10 {
    references {
        table = pages
        uid.data = leveluid:-1, slide
        fieldName = media
    }
    begin = 0
    renderObj = COA
    renderObj {
        10 = IMAGE
        10 {
            file {
                import.data = file:current:uid
                treatIdAsReference = 1
            }
        }
    }
}

Using levelmedia, however, still doesn't work but at least the code above works

@Andreas: Can you fix that?

Will try to look into it as I need it anyway.
If I am able to fix it, I will post a patch.
Otherwise I will let you know.

Also leveluid doesn't do the same as levelmedia because it only slides until it finds an uid which should be pretty soon :)

Sorry for response delay but I forgot to add ticket to watch list.
