$languagechooserbits not working anymore?

[PyroMarkus]

Hi there,

in vBA CMPS 2.2.1 I used some lines of template code to have a little language chooser on the home page. It looked like this:

PHP Code:

<tr>
<td class="$bgclass">
<if condition="$show['languagechooser']"><strong>$vbphrase[quick_language_chooser]: </strong> <br />
        
            <select style="width:120px;margin-bottom:4px;" name="langid" onchange="switch_id(this, 'lang')">
                <optgroup label="$vbphrase[quick_language_chooser]">
                    $languagechooserbits
                </optgroup>
            </select></if>
</td>
</tr> 


This worked as well as a valid module (with wrapper) as included in the welcomeblock template.

When I now try this with 3.0.1, it works just when hitting "Preview" while editing the module -> all is fine, in the popup are all languages listed.

But in my homepage the select box is empty, so the $languagechooserbits from vB is not working anymore in vBA CMPS 3.0.1.

Is there a workaround, please?
Thanks fpr any hint!

add languagechooserbits in the Portal Output Global Variables

If adding 'languagechooserbits' to the Portal Output Global Variables setting doesn't help, try adding a new plugin to the 'vba_cmps_fetch_vba_module' hook location with the following code:

PHP Code:

global $languagechooserbits;

Thanks a lot, but

1.- adding languagechooserbits global did not work
2.- (1.) and adding plugin did not work
3.- (2.) alone did not work

So, not change at all, but testing the medule within CMPS-ACP still works fine ???

Weird... I did a quick search for the variable, but don't see anything obvious in vB's code that should prevent it from being displayed. Another option though might be to add a new PHP module with something like this for the content of the PHP file.

PHP Code:

$languagechooserbits = construct_language_options('--', true);

eval('$home["$mods[modid]"][\'content\'] = "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_langchoose') . '";'); 


Be sure to change the template name in the last line there to match the name of the template you're currently using.
