Language Drop Down

[Daveyo]

Hi

Interesting to know there is a bug in 1.1.10.  Ok if so, we would like for you guys to come up with the fix so I myself can use my Slovenian Package and others can use the other mods as well.  We need someone to take this problem a step up and get it resolved and fixed and send a patch out to everybody.

Please if you guys can lets get it fixed.

Thanks

Daveyo

These are the combinations other people used in the packages I have installed in my forums:

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1.0-1.1.10">
.. and

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1-1.1.10">

Tiny Portal used

Code Select Expand

<install for="1.1, 1.1.1-1.1.99">
.. which also works.

[kimnue]

so which file that i have to change into

<install for="1.1-1.1.10">

thank

[Akyhne]

package-info.xml in the package of the mod.

I think the problem is this (without checking the code of SMF):
1.1.2 is actually a higher number as 1.1.10, so versions from 1.1.20 to 1.1.99 will probably go through, while 1.1.10-1.1.19 won't.

So when the author uses <install for="1.1.2-1.1.10"> people get into trouble.

[Arantor]

Yup, that's the problem since 2 > 1 (it doesn't cast to a number). The reason for this is because of non numeric versions, e.g. 2.0 RC1, which cannot be cast to an integer.

1.1 - 1.1.99 will work fine; this is what I use in my mods.

Also note you can install this mod, which you can use to override the version number used in the package manager.

Nice mod.
Cheers

the language select window is small, how do i make it big

[SleePy]

To do that, you just need to change the html for it in the index template.

[Afro]

Ok, I will work on that

I like this mod a lot. I recently added it to this site: http://www.xtremelean.us
but I modified it to use images as buttons to select the language rather than a drop down box. The code I used looks like this:

Code Select Expand

function template_language_select2()
{
global $context, $txt, $settings, $scripturl;

// Do the Function...
languageDrop();

{
echo '
<form action="" method="post">

<input
   type="image"
   src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/usflag.gif"
   name="language"
   alt="English"
   value="english"
   onclick="this.form.submit(); " >
<input
   type="image"
   src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/mxflag.gif"
      name="language"
   alt="Spanish"
   value="spanish_es"
  onclick="this.form.submit(); " >

<input type="hidden" name="changelang" value="1" /> <noscript><input type="submit" value="', $txt['quick_mod_go'], '" /></noscript></form>';
}
// No languages we can find!
}
template_language_select2();

It works great in Firefox, but it doesn't work at all in IE and I can't figure out why. When you click one of the images in IE it just reloads the current page with no change to the language.  Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks for the mod! 

[SleePy]

If I remember right, IE doesn't support the usage of input you are trying to use.  I believe that a type of image is non standard.

[Andre N]

Yeah, you're right about that. I found a workaround though. It works like this:

Code Select Expand

function template_language_select2()
{
global $context, $txt, $settings, $scripturl;

// Do the Function...
languageDrop();

{
echo '
<form name="english" style="display:inline;">
<input
   type="hidden"
   name="language"
   value="english">
<input
   type="hidden"
   name="changelang"
   value="1" />
<a href="javascript:" onclick="document.english.submit()"><img border=0 src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/usflag.gif" alt="English"></a>
</form>
<form name="spanish" style="display:inline;">
<input
   type="hidden"
   name="language"
   value="spanish_es">
<input
   type="hidden"
   name="changelang"
   value="1" />
<a href="javascript:" onclick="document.spanish.submit()"><img border=0 src="'.$settings['images_url'].'/mxflag.gif" alt="Spanish"></a>
</form>';
}
// No languages we can find!
}
template_language_select2();

I got an error when trying to upload LanguageDropV1.5.tgz through package manager. (see attached)

But if I manually extract and upload via FTP to /packages, I was able to install it.

[leonpadi]

Hello !
I would like to kindly ask instructions of how can i add this great add-on to a custom theme.
I started by adding this code...

Code Select Expand


// Generate the Language Drop Down..
function template_language_select()
{
    global $context, $txt, $scripturl;

    // Do the Function...
    languageDrop();

    // Hopefully We always have something to show for ourselves.
    if (!empty ($context['languages']))
    {
        echo '
            <form action="" method="post" class="smalltext" style="float: right;">
                <select id="language_select" name="language" onchange="this.form.submit()" class="smalltext">';
        foreach ($context['languages'] as $language)
            echo '
                    <option value="', $language['filename'], '"', isset($context['user']['language']) && $context['user']['language'] == $language['filename'] ? ' selected="selected"' : '', '>', $language['name'], '</option>';
        echo '
                </select><input type="hidden" name="changelang" value="1" />&nbsp;<noscript><input type="submit" value="', $txt['quick_mod_go'], '" /></noscript></form>';
    }
    // No languages we can find!
    elseif (empty ($context['languages']))
        echo 'LanguageDrop: ' . $txt[398];
    // If this occurs we are in trouble.
    else
        echo 'LanguageDrop: ' . $txt[106];
}

just before "?>" at the custom's theme index.template.php
Now what else do i miss... ?

[Arantor]

The other edit to do on a custom theme is:

Code (find) Select Expand

</td>';
echo '
<td class="titlebg2" align="right" nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">

Code (replace) Select Expand

</td>
<td class="titlebg2" nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">';
template_language_select();
echo '
</td>
<td class="titlebg2" align="right" nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">

[leonpadi]

Sorry but i can't find the code that needs to be replaced, there is nowhere in the custom theme this code...

Code Select Expand


<td class="titlebg2" align="right" nowrap="nowrap" valign="top">

Do i have to add the replaced text manually and if yes, then where and in which file of my custom theme ?

Thank you very much for your time dear Arantor

[Arantor]

No, you need to work out where the template you'd add the dropdown and alter the code. Without knowing where you wanted it and without seeing the code of your index.template.php file I can't possibly help.

[leonpadi]

Okey, since i didn't managed it to work i copy-paste here the code from index.template from the custom theme i use.
Theme's name : BlackRain v2

Code Select Expand


<?php
// Version: 2.0 RC2; index

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

I would like to see this drop-down menu at the same place (upper left on the user's notification area) where it is shown on the default theme - in which it works perfectly.

It's installed in that code.

Code Select Expand

if ($context['user']['is_logged'] || !empty($context['show_login_bar']))

echo '
<div id="user_section" class="bordercolor"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
<div class="floatright">', template_language_select(), '</div>
<div class="windowbg2 clearfix">';

echo '
<div id="user_section" class="bordercolor"', empty($options['collapse_header']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"', '>
<div class="windowbg2 clearfix">';

I think you have an extra echo you're not meant to have though.  (You didn't tell me you were using 2.0 RC2 so I didn't originally give you the 2.0 RC2 install instructions!)

Is the header collapsed?

This is a screenshot...

so...i suppose the header is collapsible...
In this screenshot i DONT have added any code, it's the default for Smf 2 rc2 ...
