[SOLVED] language dependent module

[Beata]

OK, my modules work only for left
How I could figured it?

mainmenu is for lithuanian
mainmenu_en is for English

Okay Guys,  I figured it out and this is a fantastic soluton I'm sure lots of you implementing Joomfish will love!

I decided to write a simple php statement that will load certain module positions in the same space on a template, depending which language I want them to independantly handle.

Benefits of this approach:

• you can create content in any language you want and hide the default message or auto-created joomfish version
• you have flexibility in what you want each language's menu-modules to display
• you can still include native language menu items in your alternate language menus - effectively using joomfish for parts of your site and not the whole site

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

<!-- BEGIN custom language switch by http://www.designguru.org to load language-specific modules -->

<?php
if ($mosConfig_lang== english )
{mosLoadModules ( 'inside_r', -2 );} 
?>

<?php
if ($mosConfig_lang== french )
{mosLoadModules ( 'inside_rfr', -2 );} 
?>

<!-- END language switch -->

Of course, you can use any module position - you aren't restricted to 'inside_r' and 'inside_rfr' - I arbitrarily chose 'em


Cheers,

nothing helps !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after reading this post, for language dependent menu module there are two solutions
1. making depend language menu like mainmenu, mainmenu_nl, mainmenu_jp and install the multilingual aware mod_mainmenu for Joomla

2. use php code like others posted, to call different language module

Am I right ?

u should put that code in the index.php of your template.

if you're gettin parse errors try encapsulating the language strings with quotes like:

if ($mosConfig_lang== 'english' )
