Language Drop Down

[SleePy]

Sorry, $txt[106] would be in the language files
I am giving a guess but try index.<language>.php

As for changing the name there isn't. It is generated off of index.<language>.php and given a capital and any junk removed.

Does anyone know if this mod is xhtml valid?

After I installed it I got some errors from here - http://validator.w3.org/

[SleePy]

It should be. What errors are you getting? Can you link to one?

Well I uninstalled it after noticing the errors, I will reinstall it and let you know.

Ok after installing I get 8 errors:

document type does not allow element "form" here; missing one of "th", "td" start-tag.

...post" class="smalltext" style="float: right;">

✉

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").

end tag for element "td" which is not open.

            </td>

✉

The Validator found an end tag for the above element, but that element is not currently open. This is often caused by a leftover end tag from an element that was removed during editing, or by an implicitly closed element (if you have an error related to an element being used where it is not allowed, this is almost certainly the case). In the latter case this error will disappear as soon as you fix the original problem.

If this error occurred in a script section of your document, you should probably read this FAQ entry.

Before installing the language drop down my forum was XHTML compliant.
Hope that helps, but if there is something else you need from me, please let me know.

Is that your site you have linked in your profile?
It is showing valid html when I view it and when I use w3c on it. The coding looks correct as well :|

Yes, well those errors were only there when I originally installed the mod without making any manual changes. After I made some changes based on your recommendations to get the language bar on the same line with the search window everything was fine.

I think if you take the mod as it is and install it on a clean version of 1.1.4 you might be able to reproduce the XHTML errors I posted above though.

[SleePy]

I don't know what could be wrong. My edits leave the coding in place and just adds another column. All tags are closed or self-closed.. :|

[dxyy]

Hmm, I guess forget about it. Haha, in my experience 90% of the time when there is a problem, the problem has been me. Well, that's with software and not other things.

it is showing two times english in drop down.

also it doesnot translate the language in post.

It's not meant to translate the actual content of the posts! It's just meant to change the forum's language, so for example "home help profile... etc."

Hello,

I would like to translate the name of each selectable language from the dropdown list of this mod.

E.g. I would like to change "French" with "Français", "Italian" with "Italiano", "Spanish" with "Espanol" etc.: where I have to change in SMF? Which files?

Thank you in advance

If your server supports it just go to your language files and find all instances of *.<language>.php and replace it with *.<new language>.php. * is a wildcard remember
Not all servers support non english file names so this may not work for all languages, which is why we don't do this.

This mod does not translate posts, it only changes the forum language. Actually the same as to going to your profile -> account related settings and changing your forum language.

If its showing english twice then You are using English and english-utf8. I swear I had this fixed though.
You can fix this right now by opening Load.php
Finding:

Code Select Expand

sort($context['languages']);
Replace:

Code Select Expand

sort(array_unique($context['languages']));

I will update it in my sources but not going to update the packages on the mod site for a while.

Guys in softmc blue, all the edits in the index are not compatible.
I cannot get together how to make the box appear like it does in the default theme.

[SleePy]

Before the end of the file add:

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];
}


Find:

Code Select Expand

    echo '
        </td></tr></table>
    </div><br />';

Replace:

Code Select Expand

    echo template_language_select(), '
        </td></tr></table>
    </div><br />';

Also,
You may want to do this, but it isn't needed.
Find:

Code Select Expand

            echo '
                                ', $txt['totalTimeLogged1'], '<br />';


Replace:

Code Select Expand

            echo '
                                ', $txt['totalTimeLogged1'];

Thanks,
