Some days ago we learnt to display a search box in Drupal template files, and according to that post and the Drupal handbook rendering a language switcher block in your theme templates should be easy.
This should work:
<?php $block = module_invoke('locale', 'block_view', 'language'); print render($block); ?> |
Unfortunately, in my D7 it does not. What does work is this:
Add to template.php:
<?php function block_render($module, $block_id) { $block = block_load($module, $block_id); $block_content = _block_render_blocks(array($block)); $build = _block_get_renderable_array($block_content); $block_rendered = drupal_render($build); return $block_rendered; } ?> |
Add to page.tpl.php
<?php print block_render('locale', 'language'); ?> |
Now that the language switcher is rendering, you might want to customize its appeareance
