Different Header for different Language?

[Goshawk]

Hi,

Due to the growing number of products and categories, my sidebar is getting a little less user friendly.

I am currently designing a navigation system in my header (flash). This ofcourse will not change the language automatically as the sidebar does.

Is it possible to call a different header when the customer selects another language?

Many thanks,

Goshawk.

I was wanting to do the same thing. I have found switching the templates and switching the header for different catagories. Does anyone have an idea how to do this

You will have to do some custom coding to make that happen.

Key: You can determine the current language selection by checking the value of the $_SESSION['language'] or $_SESSION['languages_code'] variables, and then take action accordingly.

Thank you for your reply DrByte,
I will hve a look at that at a later stage. For now i have been able to install the css drop down menu, that has made the site look a lot more organised. Though that too needs a little more modifying.

Based on your suggestion, I tested the following, and it worked:

<?php
if ($_SESSION['language'] == 'schinese')
{
echo "hellohellohello";
}
else
{
echo "monkeymonkey";
}
?>

So now I will add the links and layout that I want for the Chinese visitors into the code above instead of the line "echo "hellohellohello";" and I will add the links and layout that I want for English language visitors instead of the line "echo "monkeymonkey";"

Hi Thomas,

That's Cool!

I will give it a go when I have time to make a new flash header in the other language.

Thanks for pasting that code
