Flags are not showing in multilingual site

Post by eddyb » Wed Apr 24, 2024 5:25 pm

Hi,

I would like to make my site https://wwl.lu multilingual, LU, FR, DE.

It works in principle, I linked everything together and it works.

But my problem is that the flags of Luxembourg, France and Germany are only displayed on the first page.

On the following pages only the text is displayed, without a flags.

The website is online and publicly accessible, so I've only linked to the homepage at the moment so as not to unnecessarily confuse visitors, but as I said, all links work.

In DE and FR a page with Under Construction appears as the homepage.

I use Joomla 5.1.0 and Template Helix ultimate 2.0.18.

The homepage and Under Construction DE and FR were created with SP Page Builder, the others with Joomla.

I also created a separate template for each language.

The flags are displayed correctly in the backend and the three languages ​​are all activated.

But I can't get the whole thing to work ;-((

Your flag links are like so: src="media/mod_languages/images/de_lu.gif" which work in the root of your site. Your walks are in subfolders so the links don't work. They would if they had a leading / like so src="/media/mod_languages/images/de_lu.gif"

Hi ceford, thanks for your answer,

The text links (title in native language) all work but what I don't understand is that the flags are not displayed.

I'm not a Joomla specialist, but do you have a solution?

The issue could be in the layout override (templates/shaper_helixultimate/html/mod_languages/default.php).

This is Helix Ultimate problem - you need to take it up with the template supplier. To a Joomla purist your site structure is too unconventional (for me) to guess how to fix it.
