Hello,

I tried to use some instructions you provided for someone else with another template, thinking that the basic instructions must be the same for multi-language install. I received some error messages re: TinyMCE.. I don't know, can't remember. But, can you tell me if the instructions are the same that I found on Joomla.org
http://help.joomla.org/files/EN-GB_multilang_tutorial.pdf

If not what part should I pickup from.. I'm thinking you already have most of this prepared. I don't know where to begin.

Also how can I put the language drop menu on the right side of the "search". Thanks

April

Hi April

As the top menu is set from within the templates parameters instead of using a menu module the method used would change slightly. Rather than creating a menu module for each of your languages you will create a template style.

Select a Template style in your 'Template Manager' (Eg. Privilege -Default) and duplicate it for each language you want. In each of the styles then select the menus to be displayed for that language. You can then set that template style to the langauge via the 'Languages' dropdown or by assigning the correct menu items via the 'Menu Assignment' tab.

Ciaran,

OK, I figured out some code for google. Are you advising that I cannot put the languages element next to "search". Thanks..

Hi April

To do so you will need to create a new module position for your languages modules in the header area of your template. Details to do so can be found here... http://www.joomla51.com/tutorials/item/creating-a-new-module-position-in-the-header-area-of-your-template

Alternatively you can convert your search field to a module position.. http://www.joomla51.com/tutorials/item/converting-the-search-field-to-a-module-position

Ciaran,

Yes, I tried to use these instructions... I saw them through a searching the forum. Forgive me.. but I do not know how to access "First of all locate the following line of code in your templates header.php?" Is this in my file manager through my host files? I tried looking there as well. SORRY.. where do I find this line code? THANK YOU in advance..

Hello Ciaran,

OK, I found the info..Joomla 3.2.. This did not work for me. I can't see the module on the site.. This is what my template header.php looks like after inputting your info.. ..

<div id ="header" class="block_holder">
<div id="newmodule">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newmodule" />
</div>
<div id="header_items">


<div id="socialmedia">
<ul id="navigation">

I also put the CSS code in, changed the color code. Created a new module called "New Module Header H3". I can't find it on the home page.

But, one question. Why can't I just copy the search module, put in the position of the new module? Well I guess I need to find the new module first.

Thanks so much.

Hi April

This 'newmodule' will not have any title available to it. It will just display the module content. To display a title with your module try changing the following...


<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newmodule" />


to..


<jdoc:include type="modules" name="newmodule style="mod_standard"" />
