[TYPO3] sys_language_softExclude not working for table "pages"?

[Sander van Gelderen]

Hello Georg,

I recently had the same problem and was able to solve it with the help of
this list and T3 UG Dutch (post 19/5/2007 subject 'page:media in Alternative Page Language')

	config.sys_language_softExclude = pages:media

will not work because this works only for *content*, check the TSref for 'sys_language_overlay' at
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsref/current/view/7/3/
It explicitely says "certain tables selected by the CONTENT cObject" (just a tiny rtfm :) , I missed it myself too)


The solution is to go into the Configuration tool and find the current value for $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['pageOverlayFields']
By default you will find this list: 'uid,title,subtitle,nav_title,keywords,media,description,abstract,author,author_email'

Remove the 'media' entry from the list, then write the new list to localconf.php

HTH,

Sander
