wordpress qtranslate flags dropdown

lior r picture lior r · Jan 11, 2012 · Viewed 7.1k times · Source

I'm using "qtranslate" plugin for word press to use metalanguage in my site,

How can i create a combo that will display only the flags in it ?

i have tried using the following code to generate the dropdown but it only displays the flags in a list:

echo qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('image');
$header_shortcodes = html_entity_decode(get_option(PREFIX.'_header_shortcodes'), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
echo $header_shortcodes = apply_filters('themefuse_shortcodes',$header_shortcodes);

Thanks

I eventually took one of the solutions here and combined it with msdropdown plugin

Step 1: Go to the plugin folder and open qtranslate/qtranslate_widget.php. There in line no. 112 you will find case:'both'; Now where that case ends its line no 123 Below that add the following code (another case written)

case 'bothkria': ?>
     <div id="language_chooser">
        <select name="langchooser" id="langchooser" onchange="$(window.location).attr('href',this.value);">
        <?php 
            /************************
            * go over the enabled languages and create all the languages options
            * the first marked "selected" is reffered to the current chosen language
            * the value is the relevant url and the title is the url of the image.
            * 
            * After creating the selectbox we will run the msdropdown plugin to make it a designed select box
            * Of corse dont forget to have a reference to the msdropdown js library
            * <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.dd.js"></script>
            * you can find it here http://www.marghoobsuleman.com/jquery-image-dropdown
            *************************/
            foreach(qtrans_getSortedLanguages() as $language)
            {
                if($q_config['language']==$language) {?>
                    <option selected="selected" value="<?php echo qtrans_convertURL($url, $language);?>" title="<?php echo get_option('home');?>/wp-content/<?php echo $q_config['flag_location'];?><?php echo $q_config['flag'][$language] ?>"><?php print strtoupper($q_config['pre_domain'][$language]); ?></option>
          <?php } else {  ?>
                    <option value="<?php print qtrans_convertURL($url, $language);?>" title="<?php echo get_option('home');?>/wp-content/<?php echo $q_config['flag_location'];?><?php echo $q_config['flag'][$language] ?>"><?php print strtoupper($q_config['pre_domain'][$language]); ?></option>
          <?php }
            } ?>
        </select> 
        <div id="selectbox_script" style="display:none;">
                 <script type="text/javascript">
                 /* <![CDATA[ */
                    $(document).ready(function(e) {
                        try {
                        $("#langchooser").msDropDown();
                        } catch(e) {
                        alert(e.message);
                        }
                    });
                 /* ]]> */
                 </script>
        </div>
     </div>
    <?php break; ?>
