Hi there

We are working on Multiple Language in Joomla 1.7 and one of the requirement is to create another Main Menu and assigned to particular language and we did this. However we could NOT find location for standard Main Menu (ie. Right, Left, Top etc etc) that comes withe JA_SOCIAL template. BTW … we have upgraded already to 1.7 (new one).

We need to assigned another module and point that Main Menu (DUTCH) and Main Menu (ENG) to the same as default one.

Any ideas?

I’m appreciated your feedback.

Note: We follow the following tutorial http://help.joomla.org/files/EN-GB_multilang_tutorial.pdf

I’m not sure if I understand you correctly. Are you just trying to figure out which module position the Demo Site is using for it’s main menu? If that is the case that position is “menubar”. Menubar is the location for the horizontal menu at the top of the page that includes Home, More Info, Features, JomSocial Hot!, Kunena New, Blog, K2 Showcase.

I believe that the JA Social template does not have an actual module position for the mainnav/main menu (horizontal). Often times, the JA templates have a secondary “main menu” module, but it’s a duplicate version of the horizontal menu in vertical form and appears in the “right” or “left” positions (usually). You can create your own custom menus, of course, and assign different styles (vertical, horizontal, etc) with their own menu items, then link those menu items to the mainnav menu respectively. I might be a little confused (as the earlier response was as well) regarding what exactly you want to accomplish. I hope something I said has helped at least a little.

Hi Matt871401

I don’t think there is a location called “menubar” in the JA_SOCIAL template.

Please advice.

That’s what I thought too. We really need to assign that “main menu” into a location. Cause the requirement of having multiple language in Joomla 1.7 is too create another set of Main Menu using another language (Dutch) and then you can create another one for German for instance.

Technically, you need 3 sets of Main Menu:

1. Main Menu with Home, More Info, Features navigation in ALL LANGUAGE
2. Main Menu with Home, More Info, Features navigation in DUTCH
3. Main Menu with Home, More Info, Features navigation in GERMAN

Any ideas to accomplish this?

I’ve completely customized just about every template offered by JA, but I have never created different menus that mimick the same function in the same location on (essentially) the same site, but at the same time, appear differently. I honestly don’t know how you would manage to do that without an extension. I just browsed some extensions and found this one:

http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/languages/multi-lingual-content/6348

Maybe it will help?
