Step 1. Select languages in the "Language Switch" Plugin:
Step 2. Open file /plugins/language_switch/flags.tpl
Step 3. Comment out code :

<!--
<li>{strip}<a id="languageSwitchLink" title="{'Language'|@translate}" class="pwg-state-default pwg-button" rel="nofollow">
  <span class="pwg-icon" style="background:url('{$lang_switch.Active.img}') center center no-repeat;">&nbsp;</span><span class="pwg-button-text">{'Language'|@translate}</span>
</a>
<div id="languageSwitchBox" class="switchBox">
  <div class="switchBoxTitle">{'Language'|@translate}</div>
  {foreach from=$lang_switch.flags item=flag name=f}
  <a rel="nofollow" href="{$flag.url}"><img class="flags" src="{$flag.img}" alt="{$flag.alt}"> {$flag.title}</a>
  {if ($smarty.foreach.f.index+1)%3 == 0}<br>{/if}
  {/foreach}
</div>
{/strip}</li>
-->

Step 4. Add code in the flags.tpl file:

<li>
  {foreach from=$lang_switch.flags item=flag name=f}
  <a rel="nofollow" href="{$flag.url}"><img style="padding-left: 3px" class="flags" src="{$flag.img}" alt="{$flag.alt}"> </a>
  {if ($smarty.foreach.f.index+1)%3 == 0}<br>{/if}
  {/foreach}
</li>

Stap 5. Save file and upload on the Server

yes. the login page calls header.tpl

the switch selector is there, only the

<img src="{$lang_switch.Active.img}" alt="{$lang_switch.Active.alt}" title="{$lang_switch.Active.alt}"/>

don't works. the selected language flag is not showed. the HTML code shows:

<img src="" alt="" title=""/>

well, now works 90%... ;)

I put it in header.tpl hard coded.

<img src="{$lang_switch.Active.img}" alt="{$lang_switch.Active.alt}" title="{$lang_switch.Active.alt}"/>
<ul>
    <li><a href="{$ACTUAL_URL}?/categories&amp;lang=es_ES"><img src="language/es_ES/es_ES.jpg">Spanish</a></li>
    <li><a href="{$ACTUAL_URL}?/categories&amp;lang=en_UK"><img src="language/en_UK/en_UK.jpg">English</a></li>
</ul>

the only problem persists in login.php, cannot see the selected language :(

hey ddtddt!

Can you give me a link and webmaster pass for your gallery ?

ah! I think I know what you want to do. ;) you want to try the 'Personal Plugin' right? (the solution from plg in post 116987)

well, I tried it and works 90%. the problem are this 2 points:

1.- in the page: login.php I cannot see the selected language.

I mean, in each another page you can see the flag of the selected language. To show the flag of the active language, I use this line:

<img src="{$lang_switch.Active.img}" alt="{$lang_switch.Active.alt}" title="{$lang_switch.Active.alt}"/>

2.- the link when you try to change the language is strange.

I mean, when I use the switcher in the index.php to change the language to english I see that:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?/catego … lang=en_UK

but when I am in help.php I see that:
http://www.domain.com/?lang=en_UK

instead something like:
http://www.domain.com/help.php?lang=en_UK

nice eh? ;) maybe anyone can help?

thanks again!

Use this is a bad idea, other plugin can use this

you can read post:116987

hi ddtddt! thanks for your answer.

I will try it. the only problem is I don't need it in the MENUBAR. I need it in the top of the page :)

maybe I can change it. want something like {$LANGUAGE} that uses the flags.tpl of the plugin.

thank you!
