Hi,
I have a few question about the (M)Social Template.

I plan to make my site Multi language able. This site will be a regional site where I want to give our neighbours in slovakia and hungary their languages when tey come to this site. In tempalte configuration I may select one of the menus as Main menu. But I want to give vistiors their own menu in their own language when they click to their language flags. In protostar template I did this with the following solution.
I made 5 different menus, one menu for all languages, and 4 four for the different languages. When a user, for example clicks on the hungarian flag then the Menu is shown in his language, the same for austrian user and so on. This works perfect.

In (M) Social I tried this but I didn´t find a solution cause in the template settings I can only select one menu and it is not possible to put modules in menu section. Is there a soltuion for my needs?

2. Language switcher instead of Login

I would like to use the position where normally is the Login / Account postion to put the language switcher to this position. this possible?

Thannk´s for you reply,

Hi

For menu please create multiple template styles attached them to correct languages and select a menu suitable for this language.

Unfortunatelly replacing login with new module position is a customisation request so I cannot help with this, sorry :( Try using closest position possible and than use css to move language switcher to a right place or create a new module position:

Hi teitbite,

thank´s for the tips. Before I change anything I will wait until the update of (M)Social has been done. I think, this will be when Joomla 3.3 stable is out if I read this correct in this forum

Greets, Karl.
