Multilingual Joomla with mambelfish

This short note, describes how to set up and get Mambelfish running with Joomla 1.0.8 Stable

Got lost at the fish market?

For who doesn’t knows it, mamblefish is just a patch (a real patch to the core) to throw mambo (and hence joomla) to the multilingual world.

There is a project on joomla forge which aim is to port mamblefish to joomla, but the proud developer forgot tu put any release online.

That’s why I spent a few hours trying to find a working copy of this damned joomfish, that is the joomla strain of mambelfish.

I’ve had no luck, until I found an interesting post.

This pointed me into the right direction…

Step by step you come to a stop…

Unfortunately, the times goes by, we now reached 1.0.8 release of joomla, and the patch doesn’t work anymore…

Ok, stop talking, this is my solution:

  • Follow the instructions on the above mentioned post
  • When patching the core joomla.php, don’t use the original patch but use this patch instead.

It just works for me… I really hope it works for you too.
