How to show Language Flags?

Hi,

I could not find a good solution as well.. and therefore I tried something out myself.

I know this is not the cleanest code,.. but maybe it can be useful you and someone else.

Please go to EXTENSION/EZWEBIN/DESIGN/EZWEBIN/TEMPLATES/
Then edit the file PAGE_HEADER_LANGUAGES.TPL

Then replace the complete code with the code below:

<div id="languages">
{def $lang='eng-US'}
<a href={concat('index.php/',$lang|extract_left(3)|downcase())|ezroot}>
<img src={$lang |flag_icon} alt="{$lang}" title="{$lang}"/>
</a>
{def $lang='ger-DE'}
<a href={concat('index.php/',$lang|extract_left(3)|downcase())|ezroot}>
<img src={$lang |flag_icon} alt="{$lang}" title="{$lang}"/>
</a>
{def $lang='fre-FR'}
<a href={concat('index.php/',$lang|extract_left(3)|downcase())|ezroot}>
<img src={$lang |flag_icon} alt="{$lang}" title="{$lang}"/>
</a>
{def $lang='esl-ES'}
<a href={concat('index.php/',$lang|extract_left(3)|downcase())|ezroot}>
<img src={$lang |flag_icon} alt="{$lang}" title="{$lang}"/>
</a>
{def $lang='dut-NL'}
<a href={concat('index.php/',$lang|extract_left(3)|downcase())|ezroot}>
<img src={$lang |flag_icon} alt="{$lang}" title="{$lang}"/>
</a>
</div>

I hope this helps.. and I hope that someone could make this a bit more easier to do or generate it automatically.
Having a nice option in eZ Publish (Graphical or Text-based links) would be a nice idea as well I think.

Floris.
