Comment on Upgrading WordPress and WPML by Thea Haak

Hallo Piet,

Dank je wel voor de uitgebreide beschrijving hoe je dit voor elkaar heb gekregen.
Ik ben nog steeds met hetzelfde onderwerp aan het rommelen, en ik kom er niet uit.
ik had eerst wel het taalkeuze-menu aan de bovenkant, maar de layout was niet goed.
Nu heb ik jouw aanwijzingen gevolgd en het gekke is dat hij de regel niet uitvoert, maar gewoon in de header zet.
ik snap er niet van waarom dat gebeurt.
Heb jij enig idee?

Groetjes
Thea Haak

I have done this in the Atahualpa theme options (wordpress admin screen). I have not upgraded to the paid version of WPML, and I have Atahualpa version 3.4.1, so I don’t know if my changes will work in your setup.
Anyway, first in the in the Atahualpa screen “Style & Edit HEADER AREA” in the part “Configure Header Area” I have the following:
%logo %bar1 %image %bar2 < ?php do_action('icl_language_selector'); ?> %pages.

Then in the Atahualpa screen”Add HTML/CSS inserts”, in the part “CSS inserts” I have the following code:
div.widget-title a { font-weight: bold } div.post-bodycopy blockquote p { margin: 0; }


#lang_sel_list {

	width: auto;

	height: auto;

	float: right;

}

#lang_sel_list ul,

#lang_sel_list li {

	width: auto;

}

#lang_sel_list a,

#lang_sel_list a:visited {

	display: inline;

	font-weight: normal;

}

div#menu1 { margin-bottom: 10px; }
I think only the lang_sel_list stuff is relevant. It has been a long time since I did this so my memory has become a bit hazy.

Good luck!

Hi Piet

Sounds interesting, but I don’t understand much. Could you give me a hand?

I am trying to set up a site using Atahualpa 3.6.7 and at first I installed WPML 2.? (the last free version released). I decided to upgrade WPML 2.3.2 (the paid release) because it was providing better integration with themes… all what I wanted was to get the same you did, ie the flags in the menu bar… I thought I would get new customization options, but not… may I ask you… how did you manage?

Truly yours (I’m in your hands)

Comment on Converting WordPress from Gengo to WPML – part 1 by Amir Helzer

Hi Piet,

This is a great article. I’ll refer people in our forum to it when anyone else asks.

When WPML 1.3.0 is out with its language API, we’ll support external plugins that can do this conversion. A nice summary like your would be a great help.

Switching back to a slightly older version of Gengo solved it.
