Translate File Field

[pierreberchtold]

When I try to translate a Nova File Field I get error when saving. The File Field is trying to save the translations_FIELDNAME_LANG attribute and not the FIELDNAME attribute.

I don't really see through how nova-translatable and the File Field are working so I have no idea what the best approach would be to fix this. If you have a hint I'd be happy to do a PR.

Same issue here, I'm getting an error Call to a member function store() on null when using Translatable on a File field.

Hey everyone, Any updates ?
well I have the same issue with Trix field too, after dropping an image inside the field it is trying to upload it and store its data into the table on this end point
nova-api/{resource}/trix-attachment/translations_FIELDNAME_LANG
for some reason it's dumping 404 (Not Found) to the browser console

As a workaround, just add:

Trix::make('translations_FIELDNAME_LANG')->withFiles('public')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail()

so your fields function will look like:

public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),
            \Spatie\NovaTranslatable\Translatable::make([
                Trix::make('content')->withFiles('s3'),
            ]),
            Trix::make('translations_content_en')->withFiles('s3')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail(),
            Trix::make('translations_content_dk')->withFiles('s3')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail(),
        ];
    }

This needs to be done for each language you want to support (yeah... ugly).
Tested this with amazon s3 and seem to also work when you delete the files from the trix field.

when trying @tonci method I get:

Trix images work fine without the wrapper.
If I have Trix::make('body')->withFiles('public'), shouldn't my workaround field be:
Trix::make('translations_body_de-AT')->withFiles('public')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail(),?

[mkhmylife]

@jrmadsen67 You have to use Trix::make('translations_body_de-AT', 'translations_body_de-AT')->withFiles('public')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail() to make it work

Is there any update here?

Both Trix and Froala fields don't work with spatie/nova-translatable when it comes to file uploads/attachments.

Same issue here. Seems like the call is of the wrong type.

As a workaround, just add:

Trix::make('translations_FIELDNAME_LANG')->withFiles('public')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail()

so your fields function will look like:

public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),
            \Spatie\NovaTranslatable\Translatable::make([
                Trix::make('content')->withFiles('s3'),
            ]),
            Trix::make('translations_content_en')->withFiles('s3')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail(),
            Trix::make('translations_content_dk')->withFiles('s3')->hideWhenCreating()->hideWhenUpdating()->hideFromDetail(),
        ];
    }

This needs to be done for each language you want to support (yeah... ugly).
Tested this with amazon s3 and seem to also work when you delete the files from the trix field.

Do not forget to place it in the main array within the fields method of het Resource. It acts like a hidden field.

Just to be sure. Thanks!

Keep in mind that this workaround seems to be working only with Trix field type.

If you are using a different type of editor (eg Froala), this is not enough to make it work, unfortunately.
