Hey all,

Just trying to work out what file contains the data that is loaded in variable $menu in the header? so where is the drop down menu with the languages stored. Is it loaded from the database or a specifc file. If so where?

Can someone help me please!

That variable $menu is a lot more complicated thing than it seems to be. In theme it is located to header in header.html, but you may move that <?php echo $menu ?> to different place if you like (some block, footer, index.php for example). <div class="headermenu"> defines the css for div around $menu and you may change css starting with .headermenu

Does this help?

hi thanks for your reply!

i understadn what your trying to say so thanks but i am trying to understand where the data stored in $menu comes from? does that make sense?

so all the drop down with all the languages has to be stored somewhere. i appreciate the languages come from the installed languages packs so thats not the prob but where did the actual rop edown code come from....

basically i want to edit that drop down and add additional items like the word "language" next to the drop down etc!

any ideas?

cheers
