Language/Currency Links in Header

[bunyip]

In response to a post asking how to put language flags/currency links in the header, I developed a mod that will allow you to do that. It allows the display of the language icons (flags) and/or currency symbols as links in the header navigation section so that the customer can select language/currency from there.

The Language and Currency links can be turned on/off independently of each other from the Admin panel. The currency symbol is that set for the currency from Admin: the left symbol is used if one exists, otherwise the right symbol is used (as in the case of the Euro).

The module (coded for Zen Cart v1.3.0 +) has been submitted to the downloads section, here

Forgot to add - I left in the code from the currencies and languages sideboxes that prevents the links from showing on checkout pages. I'm sure the development team had a good reason for doing that, so I just left it in.

Downloaded, installed, working fine

Also checked feature above, working correctly.
Great contribution, thank you

Hello all,

I can confirm that this mod works on my site.

Just a quick maybe stupid question, which css file and where is it best to place the css parts?

#navCurrenciesWrapper a {
color: #ffffff;
text-decoration: none;
}

#navCurrenciesWrapper a:hover {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}

I tried stylesheet_new and stylesheet_old and it messed up the site. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Russ

it should go into your main override stylesheet, although really it can go into any sheet that gets auto-loaded. There's nothing in that style code that will mess up a site.

bunyip,

Thank you for this contribution. Excellent work and just what I've been looking for! I do have a question for you. At this point, the language flags are next to the "Search" box on the right. I would like to position the flags right in the center of the header (both horizontally and vertically). What would be the best way to get that result? Thank you!

How can I highlight the active or selected currency text in the header?

I am using the Currency/Language mod provided by Bunyip.

Thanks.

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8a.
I tried Language/Currency contribution.
My Language gets doubled. One flag appears in a header, another one appears to be not in a right column but sort of higher, between the header and the main table.
Tried to do it several times, the same thing happens.
The one which appears in the right below the header is not the sidebox, because it is off in Admin.
Can you guys help?

I have a website with two languages, Chinese and English. I'm creating a responsive layout now, so I want to loose most of the clutter.

For the languages I want to display only the language that is NOT active, so it is a switch button.

I'm a newby...

I've installed the currency language in header mod, and have tried to implement the solution from MarcWon, to show one flag only. Stripped the tpl_language_header.php as well as the modules/languages_header.php but I somehow either end up with a page only showing the stuff that's before the flags in the header, or with both flags.

This is the solution that MarcWon said worked for his problem, but I cannot get it to work.

Hi, is this module on the plugin page still compatible with the latest zen cart v1.5.1?
