Caution


Ambox notice.png The latest version of this mod uses the guidelines for TNG v12+ cust_text.php files. If you are using TNGv12+, and any cust_text.php file in this mod is marked with a Bad Target error, you need to update your cust_text.php files before you can install this mod. [Show instructions]

If you upgraded to TNGv12+, and did not update your cust_text.php files as instructed in the upgrade readme script, then you must use the TNG Mod Manager to update them. To do so:

  1. Go to Mod Manager, and select its "Recommended Updates" tab.
    (If the "Recommended Updates" tab is not visible, then go to the Mod Manager Options tab, select "Display Settings", and turn on the "Recommended Updates" tab.)
  2. Click the "Update" button in the "Recommended Updates" tab.
    Installed mods do not interfere with the update, and if you already have (or think you may have) run this update, it will not hurt for you to run it again.

Country Flags in Language Drop-down List

This section explains how to customize the language drop-down list in the Menubar Optimizer.

Here is how to add a French flag to the French language entry:

  • in the admin menu, go to "Languages" >> "Edit Existing Language" and click the "Edit" icon of the French language
  • in front of "Name for this language as it will be displayed for visitors:", instead of just writing "Français", you write "<img src='/img_flags/Francais.png' /> Français" where /img_flags is the folder where you copied your flags (you can use any folder you want for the flags)
  • click "Save + Exit"

Then you repeat this operation for the different languages and you get the icons in the language dropdown list of Menubar Optimizer.

Keep in mind that language entries are automatically sorted in alphabetical order. Once you add the flags, the order will be the alphabetical order of the flags. It is better to rename the flag using the same name as the language (example: if the language is called "Deutsch", name the flag "Deutsch.png" or "Deutsch.gif" because if you name it "German.png" or "German.gif", it will not come in the same position in alphabetical order).

Lots of Flags

Flag icons are available from many sources.

A great resource is this page created by Katryne Chauvigné-Bourlaud: Des lots de drapeaux.

Alignment of the last drop-down menu

Depending on the template, the rightmost drop-down menu may be positioned against the right side of the screen. In such a case, it is recommended that the "Left align all drop-down menus" option be false.

Automatically adjust the width of drop-down menu titles

Depending on the language or on the use of personalized titles, some menu titles may exceed the built-in standard width. If this is the case, set the "Automatically adjust the width of drop-down menu titles" option to true and all your titles will get the space they need.
