trying to get languages switcher showing in header

[zvenson]

Hi Guys!
I`m going mad about this! I cannot get the languages switcher to display in the header - i`m aware, that there is this sidebar module which is designed especially for this purpose, but if i turn this on nothing happens. The search_header thing works fine, but the languages thing not at all...
Is there a possibility to put these flags manually to zen cart? I wouldn`t mind to edit some php files, but maybe anyone can point me to the right files...
thank you so much!
best regards!

When you say, languages switcher... what do you mean?

Do you like my translate function on limelites.co.uk? That one was pretty simple to insert, just added it to tpl_header.php

Have you looked at the 'Language/Currency Links in Header' module available in the downloads section?

[zvenson]

hey thanks for the answers !
Yes i ment the module with the little language flags where you can choose the shops language.
- i had the module installed but for some reason it didn`t show up on my header - just the sidebox module worked fine - so i just put the code from the module directly to my tpl_header.php - this worked -
but to get it working was such a pain that i will check the limelites soluten :)
thanks!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA that`s a good attitude - how about getting a freelancer - i would do it if you pay me for it :).

No seriously - just use the sidebox/languages_header.php
from admin -> Tools -> layout boxes controller
and the language switcher should show up in the header.

if it doesn`t work (like in my case) you have to put the code to the correct place - try to use the layout boxes controller first - if it`s not working ask again :)

I trie to put code on end in file end nothing happen.

[zvenson]

well - to put in on the end of the file is def. not the best idea
put it where you want to have it on your site - in my case i wanted it as first point in the header so i puted it befor the code of the header-menu.

make backups and try to put the code where you want it to appear - if you mess up - use your backups to restore :)

I set up, end its work fine, i put in line 67 of file tpl_header

</div>
<div class="navMainSearch forward"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
(line66)
(line67)<!-- bof languages/currencies header display -->
<div id="navCurrenciesWrapper" class="forward">
<?php
if (HEADER_LANGUAGES_DISPLAY == 'True') require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'header_languages.php');
if (HEADER_CURRENCIES_DISPLAY == 'True') require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'header_currencies.php');
?>
</div>
<!-- eof languages/currencies header display -->

<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>
