  • fetching the right language

    Hi,

    Default language code is english ;
    My language code is "fre-FR" (only for my siteaccess front-office) ;
    I'm in the pagelayout.tpl, for the french siteaccess ;

    I fetches the current node (instead of $node that is not defined in the pagelayout) to $currentNode ;

    Now, if I write : $currentNode.object|attribute, I retrieves the fre-FR version,
    BUT if I write $currentNode.object.data_map|attribute, I retrieves the english version...

    Finally, I can't have the french version of an attribute !

    Is it a bug (ez 3.8) ?
