Hi,

Im making a multilingual site and i got the menus sorted out without any problem.
However, i want to show the extra menu with flags to select another language from every page.
I know you have to add ann additional menu in the index.php of your template but if i copy the given code (from the multi lingual tutorial) i get the code instead of the menu in my site.

Can anyone help me?

This is the code as in the multi lingual tutorial;

Code: [Select]

show_menu(1, 0, 1, true, "[a]<img src=" .WB_URL .
  "/media/flags/[menu_title].gif />[/a]", '', '', '', false, '', 0);

And this is the code of my index.php of my template;

Code: [Select]

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">

Can anyone insert the right code into the right place for me ?

Thank you

Hi,

think the code-example in the tutorial is a little buggy.
Give this a try:

Code: [Select]

show_menu(1, 0, 1, true, '[a]<img src="' .WB_URL .'/media/flags/[menu_title].gif" />[/a]', '', '', '', false, '', 0);Be aware of the ' and "
