different header based on language

[keneso]

Hi,

I have a slider in the header, and the images have text in them.
Right now, regardless of the language selected by the user, the slider images are the same with the same text (language).

I'd need the following
user selects Italian language, hence the slider displays
img_1_IT
img_2_IT
img_3_IT
...

user selects English language, hence the slider displays
img_1_EN
img_2_EN
img_3_EN
...

... and so on for additional languages

I need to know how to implement an if/else statment to select the language, please note I have (and planning to add more) if/else for the slider (header) selection based on the page the user is on.

v1.50

different header (slider) at the "amber history" page (ez-page)

Thank you

There have been threads about displaying different banner ads for different languages, and a fairly simple method for doing it, which may be adaptable for you.
Try searching for "banner group language"...

[gjh42]

multi lingual banners has a lot of info.

You would identify the per-language images by the database language id, not by letters, in the image filename. Otherwise you should be able to do what you want.

place your image in your languages/language/images

with the same names

ie. image1.gif
image2.gif


The link for language images are

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . 'images/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . 'image1.gif', 'Your alt & title text for image here')?>

Thank you for the prompt replies, and apologies for the late follow-up.

Glenn I had found exactly that thread based on your first suggestion, and I was trying to understand how to apply it to my case.
Unfortunatelly somthing came up, and I'll get back to it in a couple days (see above).

Meanwhile I see usernamenone's suggestion, which maybe based on that, I'll try it, and let you know ... in couple days, hopefully. ;)

Usernameone's suggestion should actually do the job exactly right (aside from correcting the folder sequence).

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/images/' . 'image1.gif', 'Your alt & title text for image here')?>

The sequence is correct.

in red is the language of your choice ie english spanish or whatever.

languages/language/images

[keneso]

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . 'images/' . $_SESSION['language'] . '/' . 'image1.gif', 'Your alt & title text for image here')?>

<?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $_SESSION['language'] . '/images/' . 'image1.gif', 'Your alt & title text for image here')?>

languages/language/images

I think Glenn was referring to where the images folder was in your first post (in magenta), which you confirm in your second.

Anyhow I can't do it till couple days, I'll let you know.

And thank you both for the assistance.

My language link in correct and works just the way it is wrote.

However, if Glenn prefers his code it works also.

[gjh42]

In a fresh v1.5.0, there is an /includes/languages/english/images/, but no /includes/languages/images/english/ (as the zen_image() code in post 4 would give). I was just giving a heads up so someone wouldn't unknowingly copy the wrong code.
