Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to have the multi language flags from LangSwitcher appear alongside the social media icons. Setting them to the "hornnav" position places them below my menu, which doesn't look very nice, and though I did find code to insert them to the left of my menu items, space is at a premium as the menu is alongside the logo.

If there happens to be another cool J51 template with the ability to add LangSwitcher to the top search/icon bar, I would be open to simply switching templates!

Thanks in advance.

Okay, I just switched to the Nocturn template. Still, the languages could go up in to icons bar. Or perhaps to the right of my menu - I see no position for "search" dictating where the search bar is placed (I could add them next to the search bar then.
Where did J51 envision a multilingual bar being placed?

I found the code for the hornnav menu to place it on the left. for the rh side I set absolute to right 20 px and turned the search bar off in the template parameters. Now it looks fine.

The code was in another forum post (though it does not put the LangSwitcher in the social media icon bar)

From the post: (Thank you Ciarán )

Try adding the following CSS to the end of your templates template.css (../templates/j51_monochrome/css/template.css)

.mod-languages {
left: 20px;
position: absolute;
}
#top {position: relative;}

Hi KKeys

Thank you for the updates and for sharing your solution :)

On our more recent template releases we have taking this in to consideration and added two module positions (header-1 and header-2), which you should find suitable. On older templates, creating a new module as detailed in the mentioned article would probably be the way to go!
