[TYPO3-english] Language Menu : help

[Karl Wallace]

Hi Stefano

Here's some TS code I use that creates a menu that switches between English 
and Irish, it should suit you with some modifications. I hope it helps.

## Generate language switcher menu
lib.langmenu = HMENU
lib.langmenu {

special = language
special.value = 3
special.normalWhenNoLanguage = 0

wrap = <ul class="top-menu">|</ul>
1 = TMENU
1 { &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
# Normal link to language that exists:
NO = 1
#NO.allWrap = |*| | * &nbsp;|*| |
NO.linkWrap = <li> | </li>
NO.allStdWrap.insertData=1
NO.ATagParams = alt = "{field:title} Language Selector" title = 
"{field:title} Language"
NO.stdWrap.setCurrent = As Gaeilge
NO.stdWrap.current = 1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

# Current language selected:
ACT < .NOACT.linkWrap = <li style="background-color : red"> | </li> &nbsp; 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
# Language that is NOT available:
USERDEF1 < .NOUSERDEF1.linkWrap = <span style="background-color : yellow"> | 
</span>
USERDEF1.doNotLinkIt = 1
}
}

[globalVar = GP:L=3]
       lib.langmenu.special.value = 0
       lib.langmenu.1.NO.stdWrap.setCurrent = As Bearla
 [global]
## End of language menu

## Setting up default language
config{

 sys_language_overlay = content_fallback
 sys_language_overlay = 1
 linkVars = L
 language = gb
}

## Setting up Irish language, this checks the value of post variable L and 
sets the sys language
## depending on this

[globalVar = GP:L=3]
config{
 sys_language_uid = 3
 #language = ie
}

Cheers

Karl

Hi Nicola :

Thanks for your answer : The reason is that i have no rule to choose plugins 
in this project (in this project there are involved many programmers) : so i 
need to develop a typoscript menu that follow the rules written before.

Any help will be apreciated.

Stefano.

Hi Stefano,
there's some specific reason why U would like to write your own typoscript?
Cause I know an extension that works pretty good and does exactly what you
are trying to achieve, maybe you should give it a try or a look for
inspiration: sr_language_menu

Bests,
