no dropdown menu, only hidden language flag

@lapi84
We plan this option in the future versions

Hi @lapi84,

Meantime, you can try coding that yourself:

WPGlobus_Utils::current_url(); gives you the current URL.

WPGlobus::Config()->language; returns the current language, so you can know that the other one is hidden.

WPGlobus_Utils::localize_url( $current_url, $hidden_language ); will convert the current URL to the hidden language.

Thanks

Wow, thanks for such a quick response!
maybe I overrated my coding capacities, I can find all the line you said, but what I think I understood is that I only need to change the last one:

localize_url( $current_url, $hidden_language )

in place of
localize_url( self::current_url(), ‘%%lang%%’, $config );

Is it right or am I missing something that I should do before?

thanks again!

Well, whatever you are planning to do, should not modify our code, because then it will be lost with the next release. So, you’ll need to write your own menu hook and put the flag icon there.

Thanks again,
well so far I have decided to show both flags, easier and safer than messing too much with the code!

Another small question, there are some “places” in my theme that do not support the translation, meaning they don’t show the globe for the translations, is possible to use html tag to translate that part?

Thank you!!

@lapi84
You can use marks like this {:en}En text{:}{:fr}Fr text{:}

thanks but unfortunately it is not working,
The place where is not working is a slide in the homepage.
could it be something wrong with my theme? thw weird thing is that anywhere else is working perfectly.

@lapi84
May be this help

Yay! that works perfectly!

Thank you!

I did it with pleasure.

I still have a question … always regarding the slides.. I now have the translations of text, but cannot link the two different text to respective language page.
Is there any fix for this?
thanks!

Hi @lapi84,

A fix may involve some custom coding, which we could certainly do for you. But, before hiring us, you might want to check with the original author of the slider. They might want to make their slider WPGlobus-ready – and we’ll be happy to cooperate. This way you avoid extra costs and the result could help the entire WP community.

Thanks again!
