We have a website with 2 languages: English and Dutch. When creating links with the Linkit module, we are able to link to English pages when creating or editing English pages, and we are able to link to Dutch pages when creating or editing Dutch pages.
If a page doesn't have a translation, it's possible to link to that page, regardless of the language of the page you are creating / editing.
If a page does have a translation, Linkit will currently always match the language of the linked node with the language of the current node.
Now our client would like to be able to link to pages in a different language, also if there is a translation available.
Like this, it doesn't seem possible to link to a node in a different language, if that node has a translation in the current language.
I have created a patch which will allow for this.
Currently it does the following:
Active
6.0
Code
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
This solution worked well for our team; we used elgandoz → 's new commit against 6.1.6.
RTBC!
I'm afraid this is not ready for prime time yet. I just sorted the merge, but we need to fix the tests and currently the code can be improved. Also, currently the link is saved with the absolute aliased URL, which is not ideal.
