Theming the language switcher block
www.richardspro... - April 11, 2008 - 15:02
I want the language switcher block that comes with the i18n module to look different.
I would like it to be a list and not include the pictures of flags.
Is there a way of theming it such as with a block-i18n.tpl.php file.
Thanks.
Richard.
Fixed it!
Right I managed to figure it out and I thought I'd share.
You can theme the outside of the language switcher block using block-i18n-0.tpl.php
To change how the links were displayed I added the following function to template.php
<?php/**
* Theme my language switcher links
*/
function phptemplate_i18n_link($text, $target, $lang, $separator=' ') {
$attributes = ($lang == i18n_get_lang()) ? array('class' => 'active') : NULL;
$output .= l($text, $target, $attributes, NULL, NULL, FALSE, TRUE);
return $output;
}
?>
