Hi Sandra,

Looking good. However...when I select French, then click Register, I get an English page. Also some text is flowing over the page border.

regards,
erik

[sandra]

Hello Eki,
Thanks for the comments. The page is in english because I did not receive a french translation yet.
Where do you see the text flowing over the page border?

[Eki]

Hello Sandra,

That's also on the "Register" page. Actually it is the text being cut at the right side of the page. This is only the case in IE6 (compared it in FF2 and IE6).

regards,
Erik

pressed download and getting an error in the bottom:

Code: [Select]

Warning: parse_url(/~trekwerk/account/login.php?redirect=http://85.92.129.70/~trekwerk/pages/en/download.php) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse url in /home/trekwerk/domains/trekwerk.nl/public_html/chCounter3/counter.php on line 326

And i think the footer (design text) is not that good, i can barely read it. Also the image quality isnt that good, but the design looks nice. In the CSS move the "SideColumn" a bit more to the right (in FF2) that menu is showing it dots outside the white part, or fix the container cause this is one isnt starting where it should, the background is not starting on the left, some padding? or...

Looks nice except for some bugs, think if you put a few hours into it you can totally finish it and make it look better.

Good luck and keep going!

Great job!

In Firefox 2.x the menu shows bullets, dont know if you whant it like that. I think it is confusing althought one knows it is a menu.

Feedback...

- isnt really firefox compatible..
- pages in dutch link to english (for example "registreren")
- designwise it's not very pro looking (in my opinion / taste)

[brent]

Nice job on the submenus. Will you share the template with us?

Brent

[sandra]

Yes of course I want to share the template but as you can read above it isn't really firefox compatible. And it is not really a new template; I started with the WB template 'All CSS 2 (with drop out menus)' and adapted it a bit. So I don't think it is very useful to share this template. Better use the allcs2 template.

Hi Sandra,

For days I'm struggling with the ALL Css2 template in combination with multilanguage but I'm completely stucked!

Just recently I created a website with the allcss2 as a basic structure which was fully w3c & firefox compatible. So theoreticly it must be possible to get your template work on Firefox too.

I would highly appreciated it if you would share the allcss2 structure in combination with the multilanguage. First thing I do is to check if it can be Firefoxproof.

Hope you will share it.

Hi Sandra,

first of all thanks for de code and site structure.

greetings

Carfreak

[carfreak]

Hi Sandra,

So i can take a look at the total setup of the template and menu settings.

geetings

Carfreak.

Hallo,

For the language page, like english.php, I made a WYSWYG page. And in the code view of the page I've put the following javascript code to direct the page to the first page of the website for that language:

<script name="javascript" type="text/javascript">
window.location = 'http://85.92.129.70/~trekwerk/pages/en/trekwerk.php'
</script>

Sandra

Hello sandra,

that was the sollution.

thank you very much for the sollution of this problem.

i have another nice problem with the show menu thing.

i am trying to use te extra menu under the side menu.
 what it sould do is give extra menu items apart from the main menu items and it sould switch with de different languages.

do you have an sollution for this issue.

down under i have a structure pasted

Dutch (NL)
     Home (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     geschiedenis (wysiwyg) (level 1)
            Hoe het begon (wysiwyg) (level 2)
            De toekomst (wysiwyg) (level 2)
     over ons (wysiwyg) (level 1)

German (DE)
     Startseite (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     Geschichte (wysiwyg) (level 1)
           wie hat es angefangen (wysiwyg) (level 2)
           die zukunft (wysiwyg) (level 2)
     Uber uns (wysiwyg) (level 1)

Dutch_extra
     Wie zijn wij (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     fotoreportage (wysiwyg) (level 1)
            Voor foto´s (wysiwyg) (level 2)
            Na foto´s (wysiwyg) (level 2)

German_extra
     wer sind wir (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     fotoreportage (wysiwyg) (level 1)
            Bild vorher (wysiwyg) (level 2)
            Bild Nachher (wysiwyg) (level 2)


Now an explanation, this is wat i want to happen

first of all there are 3 menu´s on the page
menu1  = Main Menu
menu 2 = Extra Menu
menu 3 = Top Menu


on the topmenu i only want the choice NL and DE

<!-- Navigation Level 1 -->
        <div class="nav1">
            <?php show_menu(1, 0, 1); ?>
        </div>

This works very well

in the middel of the page we have the Main menu that should change with the selection of the language on the topmenu whit the items for NL

     Home (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     geschiedenis (wysiwyg) (level 1)
            Hoe het begon (wysiwyg) (level 2)
            De toekomst (wysiwyg) (level 2)
     over ons (wysiwyg) (level 1)

and if the choice is DE

     Startseite (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     Geschichte (wysiwyg) (level 1)
           wie hat es angefangen (wysiwyg) (level 2)
           die zukunft (wysiwyg) (level 2)
     Uber uns (wysiwyg) (level 1)


there should also change the Extra Menu ( witch is located on the left of the page) to the selected language and the following menu items

if NL is selected

     Wie zijn wij (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     fotoreportage (wysiwyg) (level 1)
            Voor foto´s (wysiwyg) (level 2)
            Na foto´s (wysiwyg) (level 2)

if DE is selected

     wer sind wir (wysiwyg) (level 1)
     fotoreportage (wysiwyg) (level 1)
            Bild vorher (wysiwyg) (level 2)
            Bild Nachher (wysiwyg) (level 2)
