I'm creating a website that needs to be available in multiple languages. For most pages this is not a problem since we just duplicate the page tree. There are however, some components (think ModelAdmin but also some pages that are used in a similar way) that can't be translated this way.
I have a few structblocks that reference a model like this, here is one:
class StoriesSection(blocks.StructBlock):
sub_title = blocks.CharBlock(required=True, help_text='Sub-title displayed at the very top')
stories = blocks.ListBlock(
blocks.StructBlock(
[
('image', APIImageChooserBlock(required=True)),
('cta_copy', blocks.CharBlock(required=True, default='Read the article')),
('story', blocks.ChoiceBlock(required=True, choices=get_stories, help_text='Linked story')),
]
)
)
Now I can pass all of the stories with the method get_stories like I'm doing now:
def get_stories():
# use get model to prevent circular import (pages.models <-> streams.blocks)
model = apps.get_model('pages', 'StoryPage')
return [(story.id, story.title) for story in model.objects.all()]
The problem is that a story has a specific language. When creating a new page, I would like to only display stories that match the language of the parent page in the 'story' field. In this case that is:
/en/
/stories/
/story-1/ <- would like to only pass story pages that are in here
/some-other-page/ <- creating this page
/fr/
/stories/
/a-french-story/
...
Is there any way to get the correct language into the get_stories method? I am using the headless setup
