Two languages - two templates. Can this be done?

[zoreli]

Hi

I create my custom template, in Greek language, in which I have images, custom meny etc. I edit the file tpl_header.php located in my custom template folder:

includes\templates\my_template\common

Now I would like to have different header with english images, english custom menu etc. so when somene click on english flag, he can see this different header. How this can be done?

Regards, Zoran

Never Mind, I found it

In case that some one else need the solution here it is:

Edit tpl_header.php located in your custom template folder:

includes\templates\my_template\common



<?php
$language = $_GET['language'];

if ( $language == 'el' ) {
?>
Your HTML table with menu in one language meny here

<?php

} else {
?>

Your HTML with ENGLISH language meny and images here


<?php
}
?>

Good tip.. thanks for sharing

Solution mentioned above doesn't work as it should. Since the query &language=en is not passed on all pages, I am loosing my second language navigation on next page.

Can this variable be stored in session?

hmm
u can see the code in sideboxes/languages.php
and move it into header !!!

Didnt find anything useful inside.

I have to found how other links on the page know which language is used. Because only my custom links are loosing the language, while other (text) links works normaly.

Good try anyway.

Thanks, Zoreli

Solution was:
$language = $_SESSION['language'];

I had EN in my code and

$_SESSION['language']; return 'english', not 'en'

Now it works like a charm.

Edit tpl_header.php located in your custom template folder:

includes\templates\my_template\common


This is the only file that should be edited.

You should add your html meny in tpl_header.php. Did you do this and you are getting blank page?
