Dear All,

I configured Babel more my two language web site.
There are some page whoch will not be translated and I would like to hidde the anglish link, when is the case.

Do you know how to do it?

my language menu is called like this:

[[BabelLinks? &showUnpublished=`0` &tpl=`LanguageFlags`]]

But showUnpublished=0 does not solve my problem

Should I work on my Chunk?
Thank [ed. note: pierrot1010 last edited this post 12 years, 5 months ago.]

I think by default the link will go back to your home page if there is no translation present.

To hide the link you'll need to use an output modifier in your tpl chunk.

Something like:

[[+url:isnot=`[[!++site_url]]`:then=`
    <li><a href="[[+url]]" class="[[+cultureKey]][[+active:notempty=` [[+active]]`]]">[[%babel.language_[[+cultureKey]]? &topic=`default` &namespace=`babel`]]</a></li>
`]]

I think site_url is not the right one to use there as you need to get the other context version, but hopefully that should point you in the right direction.

May you can help me again

I am trying to compare to placeholder

[[!ifEval?
  		&input=`[[++site_url]][[+cultureKey]]/==[[+url]]`
  		&contentTrue=`oui`
  		&contentFalse=`<a href="[[+url]]" class="[[+cultureKey]][[+active:notempty=` [[+active]]`]]">[[%babel.language_[[+cultureKey]]? &topic=`default` &namespace=`babel`]]</a>`
  	]]

My problem is in the &input.
How can I concatanate (merge) this :" [[++site_url]][[+cultureKey]]/ " in order to make sure that the comparaison of [[+url]] is done with the full string of " [[++site_url]][[+cultureKey]]/ " ?

Many thank [ed. note: pierrot1010 last edited this post 12 years, 5 months ago.]

Hello, I am looking to have a pipe ( | ) between the language link. But my problem is how to do not have it after the last language link?

Some have an idea?

Thank

I solved my previous issue. I did like this

<li>
  [[!ifEval?
  	&input=`[[BabelTranslation? &contextKey=`en`]] > 0`
  	&contentTrue=`

		[[!ifEval? 
  			&input=`[[+active]] == [[+active:notempty=` [[+active]]`]]` 
  			&contentTrue=`[[%babel.language_[[+cultureKey]]? &topic=`default` &namespace=`babel`]]`
  			&contentFalse=`<a href="[[+url]]" class="[[+cultureKey]][[+active:notempty=` [[+active]]`]]">[[%babel.language_[[+cultureKey]]? &topic=`default` &namespace=`babel`]]</a>` 
		]]
 	|`
  ]]
</li>

And it's works!!

I'm not sure what you're trying to do (I've never used Babel), but it sounds like you need either a custom output modifier that strips the final | or a custom snippet that builds the string from an array with implode('|', $arrayName) -- unless Babel has something built-in to let you set the separator.
