Hi guys,
I’m currently working on multilanguage support for my page, but different than the existing ways, by having a second *content* area on each page by using a tv, called *content_eng*. I’ve got it working so far, and the big pro is, that editing a page in both languages is directly connected; I will post my complete way when I got it finished.
But there is still one big problem - the menu
I’d like to have on each page another TV called *menutitle_eng* and use that as menutitle of course - like having the page title (which is in german) for viewing the page in german, and using menutitle_eng for viewing the page in english.
Language selection is already made by using a cookie.
I already achieved following (modifying the old DropMenu):
[tt]
// if menutitle is blank fall back to pagetitle for menu link
if ($_COOKIE[’Language’]==’en’ && isset($child[’longtitle’])) { $textOfLinks = (empty($child[’menutitle’])) ? ’longtitle’ : "$textOfLinks"; }
else {$textOfLinks = (empty($child[’menutitle’])) ? ’pagetitle’ : "$textOfLinks"; }[/tt]
so that longtitle is shown when cookie set to english. But that only works if longtitle is set.
So I want to modify the Wayfinder Snippet, so that I can
- use a custom TV instead of longtitle for english (e.g. menutitle_eng)
- show up the pagetitle (which is german) in case the tv is empty
but I don’t know how (especially the first point)
thanks a lot, I appreciate your help. Greetings from Freiberg in the Erzgebirge.

EDIT:
got
show up the pagetitle (which is german) in case the tv is empty solved
EDIT:
got first one also solved by adding following lines to DropMenu
[tt] // if menutitle is blank fall back to pagetitle for menu link
$nom=$modx->getTemplateVar(’title_eng’,’*’,$child[’id’]);
$nom=$nom[’value’];
if ($_COOKIE[’Language’]==’en’ && $nom!=’’){ $child[’pagetitle’] = $nom;};
$textOfLinks = (empty($child[’menutitle’])) ? ’pagetitle’ : "$textOfLinks"; [/tt]
