Please see this post on this post on how to create a linked language flag list. Cheers.

I did, but its not working? It only shows my current flag and nothing more :S

There was a typo in my original post. In the YAMS snippet call it should be otherFlagItemTpl with a capital F for Flag.

Ok thanks for everything, now i have 1 more problem, the menu titles doesn’t work?
It gives the name automatically from the ’Internal Name’ field in General tab :S so if i leave it plane the menu title will be Untitled Resource.. what to do?

Thanks

When you say that the menu titles don’t work, which menu titles are you talking about? Do these menu titles appear in menu output created with Wayfinder? If so, you’ll need to use YAMS-ified Wayfinder templates to get Wayfinder to output multilingual content. To get a YAMS-ified multilingual menu in default Wayfinder format, just add

to your Wayfinder snippet call.

&rowTpl=`@FILE:assets/modules/yams/tpl/wayfinder/docr/row.tpl`

to your Wayfinder snippet call.

Im talking about the menu titles which are linked to the page, like ’Home’, when i add to the YAMS multilingual ’English’ tab, to the row "menutitle (en)" "Home (ENGLISH)", it won’t show "Home (ENGLISH". It will show the menu title in the General tab, and when you don’t add a menu title in general tab it picks the Internal Name in general tab as menu title.

Where exactly do i need to add that code u gave me?

Thanks

Hi Joeeeey.

Are you currently playing with the site that comes with the default MODx install?

From what I understand, a menu is displayed when you view your site. With MODx menu’s are normally generated using an excellent snippet called Wayfinder. Since menus are normally displayed in the same place on every page, the Wayfinder snippet call which generates the menu is generally placed in the document template.

So, go to one of your documents and check which template it is using. It will say so on the general tab of the document. Then go to Elements>Manage Elements>Templates and select that template. Then find the Wayfinder snippet call [[Wayfinder? ... ]] in the template. This is what you will need to modify so that it will generate multilingual output. If you post back with your Wayfinder snippet call as it appears now, I’ll explain what you need to do to get it to generate multilingual output.

Hi PMS,

My Wayfinder call is:



Do i have to replace `mh.RowTpl` with `@FILE:assets/modules/yams/tpl/wayfinder/docr/row.tpl`?

If yes, it works, but the colors of the menu doesn’t show up? Yes i’m currently using a default modxhost template.
Could you show me what the code should look like?

Kind regards.

Hi Joeeeey.

Please edit the chunks called mh.OuterTpl, mh.InnerTpl, mh.RowTpl and mh.InnerRowTpl and use the instructions for custom multilingual Wayfinder templates in the YAMS documentation (just added) to make the relevant replacements. Then it should all work.

Thanks for everything PMS!

Works like a charm

Is it only me, or aren’t weblinks working using YAMS with the wayfinder menu? I did a clean install beside my YAMS install, works on that one, not on the one with YAMS

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Cheers
