Chooser multilanguage

Hi ellenuma!

Welcome back to Joomlart! Hope you enjoy using our products and services.

Regarding the problem you couldn’t setup languages switcher for JM Deco template. This is quick solution for adding a language switcher to the top menu:

-- Open: app\design\frontend\default\jm_deco\layout\catalog .xml then find this line:

HTML Code:

<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.topnav" template="catalog/navigation/top.phtml"/>

Change it to:

HTML Code:

 <block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.topnav" template="catalog/navigation/top.phtml">
                <block type="page/switch" name="store_language" as="store_language" template="page/switch/languages.phtml"/>
            </block>

-- Edit app\design\frontend\default\jm_decotemplate\page\ switch\languages.phtml to become:

PHP Code:

<?php if(count($this->getStores())>1): ?>    
<ul id="select-language" class="languages">
<?php foreach ($this->getStores() as $_lang): ?>

        <span><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_lang->getName()) ?></span>
        </a>
    </li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
<?php endif; ?>


-- The last one: plz open app\design\frontend\default\jm_decotemplate\catal ognavigationtop.phtml

then add this code:

PHP Code:

<li>
            <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('#') ?>" title="language Switcher" onmouseover="toggleMenu(this,1)" onmouseout="toggleMenu(this,0)"><span><label for="select-language"><?php echo $this->__('Your Language') ?>: </label></span></a>
            <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('store_language') ?>
        </li>

between line 181 and 182 and to between line 207 and 208 (before the close tag "</ul>")

Hope this helps you .

HI thangnn1510,
Thanks for your helps, need precision for the app\design\frontend\default\jm_decotemplate\catal ognavigationtop.phtml
Need help to fill the red space.
# : ?
your language : ok
store-language : ?
If I need 3 or 4 languages, should I add 4 times the same code ?
regards

Hi Elenuma!

You don’t need change anything in:

PHP Code:

<li>
            <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('#') ?>" title="language Switcher" onmouseover="toggleMenu(this,1)" onmouseout="toggleMenu(this,0)"><span><label for="select-language"><?php echo $this->__('Your Language') ?>: </label></span></a>
            <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('store_language') ?>
        </li>

The code will generate a menu with multi language. So you shouldn’t add many times for the same code.

Hope this helps you .

HI thangnn1510,
Many thanks works nice, may I asked you how to put country flags instead menu switcher ?
Regards

Hi Ellenuma!

You could change many things. To put country flags to your deco theme is very easy. Please do the following (this will helps you to add flags to the topbeside my account, wistlist… menu):

-- Open: app\design\frontend\default\jm_deco\layout\catalog .xml then add this line:

HTML Code:

<block type="page/switch" name="store_flag" as="store_flag" template="page/switch/flags.phtml"/>

to between this:

HTML Code:

<block type="page/html_header" name="header" as="header">
....
</block>

-- Open header.phtml in app/design/frontend/default/jm_deco/template/page/html then add this code:

PHP Code:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('store_flag') ?>


to between this:

HTML Code:

<div class="shop-access">
...
</div>

-- Open: app/design/frontend/default/jm_deco/template/page/switch/flags.phtml then change the code inside to become:

PHP Code:

-- The last but important step : plz put your flags images into skin/frontend/default/jm_deco/images/. Names of images have this structure: flag_[code].gif

Example: flag_default.gif, flag_de.gif, flag_fr.gif.

Hope this helps you.
