Hello all,
We are in the process of rebuilding an existing site and are having some issues with language fallback.
We are using:
RetrieveCurrentPageParameters
ContentRetriever -> RetrieveCurrentPage
For the parameters we are providing LinkedItemsMaxLevel (4 in this case) and UseLanguageFallbacks set to true.
The content model is basic and as recommended by Kentico:
- PageModel
- Model itself (linked on the Page)
So in this case when retrieving the PageModel for a certain page it also retrieves the content of the (reusable) content from the Model itself. That's working and fine. Next up, that Model holds some text fields but again, some reusable content. A header image and another content item.
When we don't select a header image in a secondary language variant (ie. we leave that field empty) it doesn't get the linked reusable content item from the main culture.
The work around is to link the reusable content item in all 3 language variants and then not selecting an image asset in the secondary/tertiary language variants (to avoid triplicating all these media assets). However this still means you have to select the header image in all these variants when it should just fallback already.
What are we doing wrong, and how do we get this to work properly?
