      I’m using this and it works very well, however is there any way to hide the language flag list on monolingual pages (i.e. templates not set up to be multilingual)? I was unable to find a way to get (yams_multi) or (yams_mono) to function on 1.2RC3 - in this capacity at least.

        Yes. Don’t put the snippet call that generates the language list in your monolingual document templates. My answer seems too simple. Have I misunderstood something?!

          Heh - in order to place the flags where needed the snippet call goes in a chunk that is shared across all templates. I could duplicate the chunk, but rather than do this (and have two chunks to maintain, or split the chunk content out into 6 other chunks) I was looking for a way to control its display on multilingual/monolingual pages!

            You could try this: Create a snippet called [tt]LanguageList[/tt] with the following code (untested).
            <?php
// Load the YAMS class
require_once( $modx->config['base_path'] . 'assets/modules/yams/class/yams.class.inc.php' );
// Get an instance of the yams class
$yams = YAMS::GetInstance();
// If it's a monolingual document, then don't output anything
if ( ! $yams->IsMultilingualDocument( $modx->documentIdentifier ) )
{
  return;
}
// Call the YAMS snippet to output the language list.
// Could call $modx->runSnippet, or we could just launch the snippet directly
// Edit this to supply your own arguments...
echo $yams->Snippet(
  'list' // &get parameter
  , NULL // &from parameter
  , NULL // &docid parameter
  , NULL // &beforetpl
  , NULL // &repeattpl
  , NULL // &currenttpl
  , NULL // &aftertpl
  );
?>

            This should only create output for multilingual documents. So, just use [tt][[LanguageList]][/tt] instead of [tt][[YAMS? &get=`list` ...]][/tt]

              Hi there.

              Relatively new to MODx (1.0.4) and trying YAMS (1.1.9) for the first time.

              I am trying to generate a language drop-down, as opposed to a series of flags (Am told it’s the preferable way to go these days.)

              So I started with your YAMS call, which by the way works perfectly:

              [[YAMS? &get=`repeat` &beforetpl=`@code:<ul>` &repeattpl=`otherFlagItemTpl` &currenttpl=`currentFlagItemTpl` &aftertpl=`@code:</ul>`]]


              and modified it thus:

              [[YAMS? &get=`select` &beforetpl=`@CODE:<select name="langDD" onchange="javascript:self.location=this.value;" >` &repeattpl=`flagItemDDTpl` &currenttpl=`flagItemDDTpl` &aftertpl=`@CODE:</select>`]]


              where flagItemDDTpl is this chunk:

              <option class="yams_lang_(yams_id)" value="(yams_docr)" lang="(yams_tag)" xml:lang="(yams_tag)" dir="(yams_dir)" title="(yams_name_in_(yams_id))" >(yams_name)</option>


              I am getting the drop-down, but no action, i.e. nothing happens when I select another language. I have tried &get=selectform, with the same results.

              Any ideas what I might be missing?

              Thanks.

                Actually it was as simple as:

                [!YAMS? &get=`select`!]


                and then just had to do some minor tweaking to the template files under \assets\modules\yams\tpl\yams\select.

                Works like a charm.

                Thank you just the same. grin
