Its main function is to find related nodes in parallel branches and to easily create menus for jumping to the same subpage in other languages - in the frontend and in the backend. Switching between branches is very easy. You can also open current page in all languages at once. [![Switching between branches](readme/switch-branch-1.png)](readme/switch-branch-1.png) If there is no coressponding page in other branch, then the parent node is returned. Frontend language menu ---------------------- [](#frontend-language-menu) Integrating language menu to your website is as easy as adding this to view: ``` // This example links to parallel pages but has a label of a branch (eg. En, It, De, ...) ``` ``` // This example links to parallel pages and has a label of a parallel page (eg. Contacts, Contatti, Kontakt, ...) ``` ``` // You can use any other property to display ``` Switching between branches in the backend ----------------------------------------- [](#switching-between-branches-in-the-backend) [![Switching between branches](readme/switch-branch-2.png)](readme/switch-branch-2.png) You can either switch/open just one language or open a page in all languages at once. This makes it very easy to edit one page in multiple languages. Installing ---------- [](#installing) Add this line to the `require` section of your composer.json and install it with composer: ``` "igor-benko-pimcore-plugin/language-switcher": "dev-master" ``` Install it from Extension manager: [![Installing language switcher](readme/installing-language-switcher.png)](readme/installing-language-switcher.png) This adds predefined property for selecting branch roots and website setting for selecting the parent node. ### Set parent node [](#set-parent-node) If your language structure is like this you don't need to change the parent node: ``` Home: - en - de - it ``` If you have language nodes in a subfolder like this than you need to set it as a parent node in Website Settings: ``` Home: - languages - en - de - it ``` [![Set parent node](readme/set-switcher-parent-node.png)](readme/set-switcher-parent-node.png) ### Set branch roots [](#set-branch-roots) Branch roots must be direct descendants of the parent node. You need to add a property with key `languageSwitcherBranchRoot` to each branch root. [![Branch roots](readme/parent-node---branch-roots.png)](readme/parent-node---branch-roots.png) The property MUST be inheritable. Plugin setup procedure creates a predefined property for you that you can use. **After you create the property, drag and drop the branch root to Value field of property.** [![Set branch roots 1](readme/set-branch-roots-1.png)](readme/set-branch-roots-1.png)[![Set branch roots 2](readme/set-branch-roots-2.png)](readme/set-branch-roots-2.png) Copyright and license --------------------- [](#copyright-and-license) **Developed by: Igor Benko** **License: BSD-3-Clause** ### Health Score 23 — LowBetter than 26% of packages Maintenance12 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity20 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 86.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
