Title: [SOLVED] - Multilingual website with show_menu2() - Kirk's solution not working
Post by: Kami on November 09, 2009, 01:52:29 PM

Hello,

I tried to follow Kirk's thread here below, but it did not work.

https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php/topic,13577.0.html

my site structure:

- EN (Main navigation root level) (rem: menu link to HOME)
- - HOME (Main navigation level1 subpage of EN)
- - - WEB DESIGN (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - - PORTFOLIO (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - - PROFILE (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - - CONTACT (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)

- DE (Main navigation root level)
- - STARTSEITE (Main navigation level 1 subpage of DE)
- - - WEB DESIGN (Main navigation level 2 subpage of STARTSEITE)
- - - REFERENZEN (Main navigation level 2 subpage of STARTSEITE)
- - - PROFIL (Main navigation level 2 subpage of STARTSEITE)
- - - KONTAKT (Main navigation level 2 subpage of STARTSEITE)

- FR (Main navigation root level)
- - PAGE D'ACCUEIL (Main navigation level 1 subpage of FR)
- - - WEB DESIGN (Main navigation level 2 subpage of PAGE D'ACCUEIL)
- - - PORTFOLIO (Main navigation level 2 subpage of PAGE D'ACCUEIL)
- - - PROFIL (Main navigation level 2 subpage of PAGE D'ACCUEIL)
- - - CONTACT (Main navigation level 2 subpage of PAGE D'ACCUEIL)

Which parameters should I use in show_menu2(x,y,z, ...) ?

Right now, I have

Code Select

<?php show_menu2(2, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START); ?>

You'll find a screenshot of the unsuccessful menu in the attachment.

Thanks in advance,

Kami

so i have to replace SM2_ROOT by sm_root+1 in <?php show_menu2(2, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START); ?> ?

I don't understand what you mean when you write:

" It has to be qual to show_menu(1,0,1,). " ?

Thanks very much,

Kami

I vaguely remember having to insert a page with no second level at the end of the menu structure of that template (it is Multiflex 3, right?) to ensure your drop-down menus work correctly.

To get a better picture, you will find in the attachment the index.txt file (equivalent to index.php)

Once again, I need to correct the two following menus:


<div class="nav1">
<?php show_menu2(2, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START); ?>
</div>

and


<div class="header-breadcrumbs">
<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT, SM2_CURR, SM2_CRUMB, '<li>[a][menu_title]</a></li>','','[if(level>0{}[if(level==0){<ul>}]','');?>
</ul>

Thanks,

Kami

Hallo,

there is also a problem with the structure of your pages in backend:

Quote- EN (Main navigation root level) (rem: menu link to HOME)
- - HOME (Main navigation level1 subpage of EN)
- - - WEB DESIGN (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - - PORTFOLIO (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - - PROFILE (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - - CONTACT (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)

Home, Webdesign, portfolio etc. should be at the same LEVEL like

Code Select


- EN (Main navigation root level) (rem: menu link to HOME)
- - HOME (Main navigation level1 subpage of EN)
- - WEB DESIGN  (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - PORTFOLIO (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - PROFILE (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)
- - CONTACT (Main navigation level 2 subpage of HOME)

For better understanding: EN, DE, FR are all at the same level
=> in Show_Menu2 it is equivalent to 'SM2_ROOT'

In show_menu2 'SM2_ROOT+1' means that you are 1 level higher than SM2_ROOT.

- EN => 'SM2_ROOT'
- - HOME => 'SM2_ROOT+1'
- - WEB DESIGN => 'SM2_ROOT+1'
- - PORTFOLIO => 'SM2_ROOT+1'
- - PORTFOLIO => 'SM2_ROOT+1'
- - - PORTFOLIO WEB => 'SM2_ROOT+2'
- - - PORTFOLIO PRINT => 'SM2_ROOT+2'
- - PROFILE => 'SM2_ROOT+1'
- - CONTACT=> 'SM2_ROOT+1'

First thing you will need to change is:
set the pages at the same level.
Than in SM2 menu call use SM2_ROOT+X (depending on your structure).

I hope this hint helps.

Regards,
Stefek
