Re: user can select language

Hi,

There isn't a language selector(Combobox) in mojoPortal , like what you see in http://www.bsquare.com , but you can make add a <div> tag to you layout.master file in your  skin. Following tags make what you see at top of this site(mojoPortal.com).

<div class="langlinks">
<a title="www.mojoPortal.com Main US English Site" href="http://www.mojoportal.com" linkindex="72">
<img height="18" width="27" alt="www.mojoPortal.com Main US English Site" src="/Data/SiteImages/flags/us.gif"></a>
<a title="mojoPortal Croatian Community" href="http://hr.mojoportal.com" linkindex="73">
<img height="18" width="27" alt="mojoPortal Croatian Community" src="/Data/SiteImages/flags/hr.gif"></a>
<a title="mojoPortal Dutch Community" href="http://nl.mojoportal.com" linkindex="74">
<img height="18" width="27" alt="mojoPortal Dutch Community" src="/Data/SiteImages/flags/nl.gif"></a>
<a title="mojoPortal Spanish Community" href="http://es.mojoportal.com" linkindex="75">
<img height="18" width="27" alt="mojoPortal Spanish Community" src="/Data/SiteImages/flags/es.gif"></a>
<a title="mojoPortal Persian Community" href="http://fa.mojoportal.com" linkindex="76">
<img height="18" width="27" alt="mojoPortal Persian Community" src="/Data/SiteImages/flags/ir.gif"></a>
</div>

 

add a class like this to style.css file in your skin.

.langlinks {
position:absolute;
right:5px;
top:1px;
}

Hope Help.

Re: user can select language

The bsquare site was a custom solution, the guy who built it was going to write a tutorial about how he implemented it but he never did write one as far as I know. So I'm not sure what he did but he said he did not modify any mojoportal code, only added custom code in his own files.

Probably he created a UserControl with the dropdown and put the UserControl in the layout.master file of the skin.  The dropdown does a postback and sets a cookie and then redirects to a translated page based on the language cookie.

Best,

Joe
