Hello,

I'm trying to insert the Language skin object into a local .ascx skin and I'm having a bit of difficulty producing it as desired. My installed language packs are the default (en-US) pack and the latest German pack. This is my code (with parentheses added for readability):

<(dnn:LANGUAGE runat="server" ID="dnnLANGUAGE" ShowLinks="True" ShowMenu="False"
SeperatorTemplate='(&)nbsp(&)nbsp||(&)nbsp(&)nbsp'
ItemTemplate='<(a) href="[URL]" class="Language" title="[CULTURE:NATIVENAME]"><(span) class="Language[SELECTED]">[CULTURE:NAME]<(/span><(/a>'/>


These are my two (possibly unrelated) problems:

1. The SeperatorTemplate code is rendered after the second link instead of between the two links.
2. The selected language displays as a flag instead of as the desired name.

I'm running DNN 6, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I haven't had a chance to test this but the obvious thing to ask is did you spell separator correctly in your actual skin? If you didn't spell it correctly, you may be seeing the default separator.

It looks like you made a modification of this sample:



So, you ought to be close.

Thank you for the response.

Yeah, that's a typo in my post. In the skin it's spelled as SeparatorTemplate.

I did indeed modify that sample. However, as I said, the selected language displays as a flag. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I should have something like [I][FLAGSRC] in there somewhere to render the flag.

Have you sorted this out? If not, I may have some time to dig into it this weekend.

Sorry for the lag. No, I have not. I'm going to test it on DNN 5.6.x sometime in the next couple of days.

Same issue here with DNN 6.0. It seems that a new "SelectedItemTemplate" property exists for that. Simple and clear

The DotNetNuke 6 Language Skin Object seems to have these attributes:

SelectedItemTemplate
AlternateTemplate
CommonFooterTemplate
CommonHeaderTemplate
FooterTemplate
HeaderTemplate
ItemTemplate
SeparatorTemplate
ShowMenu

I have a test site that uses the Dark Knight skin (as provided) and is showing Flags: http://jncraig.com.77.seekdotnet.com

In the skin, the object is defined as: < dnn:LANGUAGE runat="server" id="dnnLANGUAGE" showMenu="False" showLinks="True" / >

(I think that showLinks no longer does anything ...)
