Hi,

 

I putted a code into my header.tpl to get a link to Q & A and Contact. Wen people go on my website with the language dutch I want the link to the dutch page. When they us my site in French I want them to go to the Frence page.

 

Can anyone help me out what i'm doing wrong?

Code:

 

<div class=" 
 col-md-6">
    <div class="bd-layoutcolumn-72"><div class="bd-vertical-align-wrapper"><div class=" bd-textblock-86 bd-tagstyles">
    <p style=""><a href="{$link->getCMSLink('6', 'q-a')}" title="">{l s='Q & A'}</a>     <a href="{$link->getPageLink('contact', true)}" title="">{l s='Contact'}</a><br style=""></p>
</div></div></div>
</div>

Its very simple. You can use the variable {$lang_id} along with {if} statement and write the full URL of the page instead of writing "getPageLink".

{if $lang_id == 1} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_French">Contact</a> {/if}
{if $lang_id == 2} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_Dutch">Contact</a> {/if}

Do not forget to replace the appropriate language ID which can be checked from Back-office > Localization > Languages.

So this would be the code?

<div class=" 
 col-md-6">
    <div class="bd-layoutcolumn-72"><div class="bd-vertical-align-wrapper"><div class=" bd-textblock-86 bd-tagstyles">
    <p style="">{if $lang_id == 1} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_French">Q & A</a> {/if}
{if $lang_id == 2} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_Dutch">Q & A</a> {/if}     {if $lang_id == 1} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_French">Contact</a> {/if}
{if $lang_id == 2} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_Dutch">Contact</a> {/if}<br style=""></p>
</div></div></div>
</div>

I can't see the language ID on the backoffice like you say. Do I need to check it into database?

[templatin]

Yes, it should work.

Its easy to find the language ID. Go to Back-office -> Localization -> Languages. The first column in the Languages table is the language ID.

I tried it and still doesn't work. This is the code at this moment. I checked the language ID and set correct. (just changed French and Dutch).

<div class=" 
 col-md-6">
    <div class="bd-layoutcolumn-72"><div class="bd-vertical-align-wrapper"><div class=" bd-textblock-86 bd-tagstyles">
    <p style="">{if $lang_id == 1} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_Dutch">Q & A</a> {/if}
{if $lang_id == 2} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_French">Q & A</a> {/if}     {if $lang_id == 1} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_Dutch">Contact</a> {/if}
{if $lang_id == 2} <a href="Write_Full_URL_For_French">Contact</a> {/if}<br style=""></p>
</div></div></div>
</div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I have tested the code on my localhost and its working perfect. I hope you have replaced the "href" value with proper URL.

Now it works perfect! I need to set the code in Themler (editing program for website layout). Thanks for the great help!
