Language flags not showing

[a0394]

Hi, i have both the language switcher plugin and module set to enabled, yet the language switcher flags don't appear in my top menu.
My website url:
https://verticalife.it/it

We used to have the flags enabled then a colleague disabled them, so i doubt it has to do with menu items and such, because we do have multiple languages installed and a default page for each one. I'll pm user data if requested for help.
Looking forward to your reply, best regards

Hello a0394

Are you using an extension to display the flags?

Are you sure the language switcher module is enabled and set to an existing position in your template?

[a0394]

Hi, thanks for your replies! In the meantime i fidgeted some and finally made it.
Now i have another big question: we have 3 languages installed on our website, it-it, en-gb and en-us. However, the en-us language is being used for the USA branch of our brand, which has a different template and other changes. Is it possible to show only two of the languages' flags (it-it and en-gb)?
Looking forward to your reply, have a nice day!

Still can't find any switcher on your site.

Is it possible to show only two of the languages' flags (it-it and en-gb)?

You mean you do not want people to be able to switch to en-us?

[a0394]

I've enabled it only on this test page i'm working on:
https://verticalife.it/it/contatti-new
what i want to achieve is showing only the it-it and en-gb switches, thus hiding the en-us (which leads to our USA branch, which uses a different template)

[infograf768]

That is easy.
Create an override for mod_languages and add $language->lang_code !== 'en-US' in the conditional.

In your case, as you use the list type I guess it would be line 75

Code: Select all

<?php if (!$language->active && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>

or, if you display the active language line 89

Code: Select all

<?php elseif ($params->get('show_active', 1) && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>

Hi infograf768, thanks for your reply!
However, i'm not sure i got what you mean lol
Do you mean this: templates/MYTEMPLATE/html/mod_languages/default.php ?
And if there's no such line with that content, do i have to add it?

[infograf768]

Code: Select all

Do you mean this: templates/MYTEMPLATE/html/mod_languages/default.php ?

Yes.

Code: Select all

And if there's no such line with that content, do i have to add it?

default.php in your template should be a copy of the core file.

Look at the lines I indicated and modify as suggested.

[a0394]

Hi, yes i copied that file from the core to mytemplate/html/mod_languages(had to create the folder as well).
Yet i can't find any line like "<?php if (!$language->active && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>" in it...

[infograf768]

As I explained, you have to ADD the code $language->lang_code !== 'en-US' in the conditional

We have

Code: Select all

<?php if (!$language->active) : ?>

Change to

Code: Select all

<?php if (!$language->active && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>

[a0394]

Ok i have changed line 75 according to your posts with "<?php if (!$language->active && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>", but unfortunately the en-US flag is still there: https://verticalife.it/it/contatti-new

[infograf768]

That is because it may not be that precise setting you use...
It could be the other line (89) as I already said above...

Code: Select all

<?php elseif ($params->get('show_active', 1) && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>

[a0394]

I also changed line 89 to

Code: Select all

<?php elseif ($params->get('show_active', 1) && $language->lang_code !== 'en-US') : ?>

but to no avail...
