Switching the forum language by using flags [3.5]
 
On my board we use two official languages. Registered users can change their preferred language through the CP and guests can use the language drop-down menu on the bottom of the page.

Since the drop-down menu isn't very guest-friendly, I would like to add two (or more) language flags somewhere on my page (probably in the menu). Does such hack already excist ? (@ vbulletin.com they told me a hack probably already excists here, but I couldn't find it :disappointed: )
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks a lot!

Can't remember seeing one.

It's been some time ago since I did my posting above....

I think it can't be too difficult to replace the drop-down-language-selection-box with a few country flags somewhere on the forum, only I can not do it :(

Anyone willing to help me out on this one ?

Thanks! :rolleyes:

well I was looking for the same solution...
What i did
i placed a flag on the page and

linked it with the following code:
PHP Code:
<a href="javascript:switch_lang(1);"><img src="images/flag_english.gif" border=0 /></a> 

in switch_lang(1) the 1 is your language id corresponding to the language..
you have to change it for the language corresponding to the flag !!!!!

then open forum/clientscript/vbulletin_global.js
in there find:
PHP Code:
function switch_id(selectobj, type) 
and ABOVE add:
PHP Code:
function switch_lang(language)
{
    var id = language;

    if (id == '')
    {
        return;
    }

    var url = new String(window.location);
    var fragment = new String('');

    // get rid of fragment
    url = url.split('#');

    // deal with the fragment first
    if (url[1])
    {
        fragment = '#' + url[1];
    }

    // deal with the main url
    url = url[0];

    // remove id=x& from main bit
    if (url.indexOf('langid=') != -1 && is_regexp)
    {
        re = new RegExp("langid=\\d+&?");
        url = url.replace(re, '');
    }

    // add the ? to the url if needed
    if (url.indexOf('?') == -1)
    {
        url += '?';
    }
    else
    {
        // make sure that we have a valid character to join our id bit
        lastchar = url.substr(url.length - 1);
        if (lastchar != '&' && lastchar != '?')
        {
            url += '&';
        }
    }

    window.location = url + 'langid=' + id + fragment;
} 
I hope that helps

@ Felix, I only made a link to http://www.mysite.de/index.php?langid=3
What is the advantage to make it with javascript?

derfelix 03-21-2006 04:24 PM
the advantage is.. that you stay on the page were you were..

example:
you are on https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=930702

and you have the flags in the header on every page...

you will after clickin the flag be on:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...30702&langid=4

with the hard linked method you will be back on the index.php
thats the difference... but in principle both methods work

Thank you so much derfelix!

Those subscriptions do work fine ;)
