There's nothing wrong there.

But the code in my last message was yours quoted, unchanged. I suggested to change the quotes, but I didn't. Try this:

Code: Select all

 $languages = array(
  'no' => array('Hovedside-no', '<img xml:lang="no" src="/uploads/images/sitePics/no.gif" alt="Norsk" />'),
  'se' => array('huvudsida-se', '<img xml:lang="se" src="/uploads/images/sitePics/se.gif" alt="Svenska" />'),
  'en' => array('home-en', '<img xml:lang="en" src="/uploads/images/sitePics/gb.gif" alt="English" />') );

In theory it makes no difference, but let's see.

Happy that it's useful for you. Maybe you can post a link to your page after implementing it.

Regards,

I used a similar system in the first versions of the code (still found at the start of this thread). Then I improved it to allow different page names in every language (what has some usability and SEO advantages), but the code allows both methods. Your system is easier for the webmaster and the content editor, I think, but maybe for Russian visitors it would be nicer to see Russian URLs in the Russian pages.

When I did this step :

Step 4: Create the content menu
How do you show in your navigation menu only the pages in the current language?
You can use the {menu} tag with the parameter start_element, to select the root section header of the language.

You wrote : select the root section header, but this root section is hidden (not displayed in the menu in the step 1) !

So how can I see all the sections under this language ?
