[daisy] [JIRA] Commented: (DSY-327) daisy documentation: add language flags in the menu bar

[Bruno Dumon (JIRA)]

Bruno Dumon commented on DSY-327:
---------------------------------

I've added the flags.

I've done it somewhat differently:
* added the flag stuff to documentlayout.xsl, so that the flags are displayed below the menu bar, since the menu bar is already pretty full (for me)
* I let it switch to the other language variant without switching the wiki's language, since I found this rather strange (might be just me)
* only show languages within current branch

I've also heard a comment that the english flag should preferably be a split USA/UK flag.

BTW, the file you supplied had spaces replaced by tabs and some changes in line endings which made comparing with the original impossible (not a big problem after all).

Here's the code I finally used (added at start of 'content' template in documentlayout.xsl):

<xsl:variable name="languageVariants" select="$pubdoc/d:availableVariants/d:availableVariant[@branchId = $pubdoc/@branchId]"/>
<xsl:if test="count($languageVariants) > 1">
  <div style="float: right">
    <xsl:for-each select="$languageVariants">
      <!-- sorting on language ID so that english comes before german -->
      <xsl:sort select="@languageId"/>
      <xsl:if test="@retired = 'false'">
        <xsl:if test="@liveVersionId != '-1' or ($isEditor and @liveVersionId = '-1')">
          <xsl:variable name="title">
            <xsl:choose>
              <xsl:when test="@languageName = 'de' ">German</xsl:when>
              <xsl:when test="@languageName = 'en' ">English</xsl:when>
              <xsl:when test="@languageName = 'default' ">English</xsl:when>
            </xsl:choose>
          </xsl:variable>
          <xsl:if test="$title != ''">
            <a href="{concat($documentPath, '.html?branch=', @branchName, '&amp;language=', @languageName)}" title="{$title}">
              <img src="{$mountPoint}/resources/local/flags/{@languageName}.gif" alt="{$title}"/>
            </a>
            <xsl:text>&#160;</xsl:text>
          </xsl:if>
        </xsl:if>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </div>
</xsl:if>

> Were nice if language flags in the menu bar were added in the daisy documentation, so that readers immediately get aware of the existence of other language variants of the document.
