Language aware ContentSelector widget
Hi,
Did you already try publishing to /epi/shell/context/request?
There is some information in the documentation here: https://world.episerver.com/documentation/developer-guides/CMS/user-interface/Context-sensitive-components/#ChangeCurrentContext

Yes, even with a language-specific id like publish("/epi/shell/context/request", [{ uri: "epi.cms.contentdata:///5_276" }])
I can see xhr calls to /EPiServer/cms/Stores/contentstructure/5 and /EPiServer/cms/Stores/contentstructure/?referenceId=5&query=getchildren&typeIdentifiers=episerver.core.pagedata which leads me to EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI.Rest.Internal.ContentStore (gist)
The language is resolved (i think) with this line: parameters1.PreferredCulture = allLanguages.Value ? null : this._languageResolver.GetPreferredCulture(); which in turn uses ContentLanguage.PreferredCulture.

Hi
I'm using a epi-cms/widget/ContentSelector outside standard CMS context, inpsired by https://gist.github.com/mvirkkunen/10484486. This works fine when using only one language.
The problem is I want to control the language-filter in the selector. If I understood the underlying mechanisms correctly, the widget itself has no control over this, but rather is determined server-side in the REST-store.
If I change language in edit mode, e.g. go to /EPiServer/CMS/?language=xxx, the selected language is reflected in my selector. This led me down the disassembly path, and ultimately to calls such as:
SystemLanguage.Instance.SetCulture("xx")
ContentLanguage.Instance.SetCulture("xx")
ContentLanguage.PreferredCulture = culturexx
ContextCache.Current["EPiServer:ContentLanguage"] = culturexx
None of these methods made any difference when called from my controller, in all thinkable extension points.
Neither did trying to publish to dojo topics such as "/epi/shell/context/updateRequest" or "/epi/cms/action/viewsettingvaluechanged"
Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
