TYPO3 9.5 Introduction package

Question

How can I get the language selection from the footer into the header area - with introduction-package in TYPO3?

Answer 1

The introduction-package (technically a "TYPO3 distribution") uses the extension bootstrap-package for the layout.

If you have not already you would want to define Fluid paths for overwriting certain templates: https://docs.typo3.org/p/bk2k/bootstrap-package/11.0/en-us/Configuration/TypoScript/Index.html#page-fluidtemplate.

This would add your path to the chain of Fluid directories with highest priority.

To move around the language menu you'll want to change where this partial in included (finding the partial is easy by searching for recognizable HTML-code like IDs): Partials/Page/Navigation/Language.html

You can include it in your overwritten Partials/Page/Navigation/Main.html like this:

<f:render partial="Navigation/Language" arguments="{_all}" />

The Partials/Page/Navigation/Main.html is just an example. You can put it where you want. But you have to make sure that the used variable languagenavigation is passed to your partial. That is done by the arguments="...". For the example given this will work because it is itself included from the main Layouts/Page/Default.html and gets also arguments="{_all}".

To learn where languagenavigation comes from have a look at Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript. You'll see it being filled by a DataProcessor inside a 10 = FLUIDTEMPLATE block.

I hope that helps. Feel free to tell us how you fare :) And don't be shy to ask any further questions.
