you'll have to edit the whatever files need editing for this to work on the classic theme. the mod has an xml file i believe that will tell you what goes where.

Sorry for the lack or repling. I lost my notifications on this for some reason.
The mod is very easy to add into your theme.

With 1.2 Their is a template for it called template_language_select() that I add to the index.template.php

Add that template function to your custom theme and then just like the menu do a call for it where you want it.
template_language_select();
or
echo template_language_select();
or
echo 'Junk here ', template_language_select(), ' Junk there';

It is very simple.
In the 2 versions before that it was languageDrop() you just needed to add where you wanted it.
This was changed because I was doing templating in the sources and that is against the coding guidelines so I fixed it.

The error about the scripturl
8: Undefined variable: scripturl
I just fixed. I missed a global in the template. I updated the mod as 1.2.1

Hi, i am stuck in confusion. Some things I understand, but i am not able to integrate the coding in my template at http://www.c-work.de/sql5_tx/index.php 

My questions are:

What is the exact code and in which line I have to integrate?
What's the file to put it in? (according to my template circumstances)

Please help if you can Thanks a lot!

[SleePy]

The mod makes its own function called template_language_select() in the index.template.php
Add this to your index.template.php and then where you want it to appear in your index.template.php just do template_language_select();
Kinda follows how the template_menu and template_linktree works.

Hi SleePy,

thanks for your response. I hope, together we will get it workin' ..

I guess to have found the snippet in my index.template.php but I am not a sophisticated programmer and need some adds to cope with that:

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();
echo '
</td>
</tr>';

// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '
<tr class="windowbg2">
<td colspan="2" height="24" class="tborder" style="border-width: 1px 0 0 0; padding-left: 1ex;">
<b>', $txt[102], ':</b> ', $context['random_news_line'], '
</td>
</tr>';

echo '
</table>

I want to have it here in my site (check out here) and have a look at the picture and I have added the file index.template.php

[SleePy]

hmm. just a guess here but try:

Code Select Expand

// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();
echo '
</td>
</tr>';

to:

Code Select Expand


// Show the menu here, according to the menu sub template.
template_menu();
echo '
</td>
<td>', template_language_select(), '
</td>
</tr>';

Oops, seems to be a problem in the problem:

Call to undefined function template_language_select() in /home/www/web531/html/sql5_tx/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code on line 158

But, it works with fine with the DMF Default template. 

Please, if you get stuck in the snippets above, remember to have the full index.template.pho too. 

Added information: Caches are actually set to OFF !!

You need to also add the function to the end of that file just before the ?>

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="', $scripturl , !empty($_REQUEST['action']) ? '?action=' . $_REQUEST['action'] . (!empty($_REQUEST['sa']) ? ';sa=' . $_REQUEST['sa'] : '' ) : '', '" method="post" class="smalltext" style="float: right;">
<select id="language_select" name="language" onchange="this.form.submit()" class="smalltext">';
foreach ($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];
}

[SleePy]

[joseph21]

Hello, could somebody please help make it work for ig-oh blue default theme? I'm trying to place the language drop on the upper right corner beside the SMF Logo.

EDIT: May I know why is it not working for me even in Babylon theme or YaBB theme? I place this codes below on the index.template.php but doesn't show up other than the default.

echo template_language_select(); or
echo languageDrop();

I even place this codes just after the <body> of the index.template.php of babylon

Code Select Expand

<body>';
echo 'Junk here ', template_language_select(), ' Junk there';
but it gave me this error:

Junk here
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: template_language_select() in /home/xxx/public_html/forum/Sources/Load.php(1726) : eval()'d code on line 147

Thanks.

There is also a function you need to add to the index.template.php

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="', $scripturl , !empty($_REQUEST['action']) ? '?action=' . $_REQUEST['action'] . (!empty($_REQUEST['sa']) ? ';sa=' . $_REQUEST['sa'] : '' ) : '', '" method="post" class="smalltext" style="float: right;">
<select id="language_select" name="language" onchange="this.form.submit()" class="smalltext">';
foreach ($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];
}
