Magento EasyFlags

25 Jun

We were asked hundreds of times about oscommerce like language switcher for magento. And now we are glad to introduce new community extension Magento EasyFlags. This small extension will help anyone to convert default magento store view switcher into nice flag buttons. Installation and configuration will take approximately 5 minutes. No files are replaced and no codding experience needed to install!

Please check demo at our demo server.

    found it. You made two mistakes. First there was the wrong flag and second it was wrongly named (england.gif instead of en.gif)
    Works now.

      Hello Gert, i think you should look for UK flag at gb.gif file. Please check ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes for right countries codes.

    Hi,
    I’m trying your extension but can’t get it to work yet. I renamed my storeview codes to “gb” and “nl”. In the configuration I enabled the Easy-flags extension for every store. And I logged out as administrator. Unforunately I don’t see any flags. I’m using version 1.3.2.4. All the flag images are present on the server.

        The problem was indeed that I had multiple stores instead of multiple storeviews

    Wher do I Rename thestore view codes according to ISO 3166

    • TemplatesMaster January 19, 2010 at 10:20 am #

      Hello Tommy, You can do this at admin > system > store management. But you can also rename flags icons names so they will have same name as your storeviews codes.

    Hello, this extension looks promising, but I have one problem: after the extension installation & logging out and back in, there *is no* Templates-Master part in System > Configuration.

    Emptying the cache doesn’t do any good. Might this be related to the latest Magento version (1.3.2.4) I am using, or, possibly something to do with extension directory chmod values?

      Hello Timothy,

      extension was not fully installed. You can try reinstall it from magento connect or download it from our store.

    Hi.
    Could you advice how I can move the flags from the center to the right, where was originally language menu.
    Thanks

    • TemplatesMaster February 13, 2010 at 8:33 am #

      Hello Max, it replace default block. If it’s moved to different position then probably you should edit easyflags.css and change position for #easyflags

    Hi,

    Thanks.

      Monica, sorry what do you mean by “putted the store view code”. We set storeview codes to country iso codes. But you can also rename flags codes to corresponding storeview codes.

    Nice extension!

    My image hints or alt tags are not showing for some reason. I can see them in page source though. Any idea?

    Thanks.

    I have a problem. it is working great on my shop, but now I created a multistore, so 2 domains , 2 shops, diferent store name and store view, but when trying to call “es” and “gb” for the easyflags, it says “duplicate entry code”.
    so I cannot make it work on 2 shops under the same panel.
    any trick to fix this?

      Odela, you can simply create different copies of same icon with different name.

    I have added the extension in a test store and it works but i only have the ISO codes and links i.e. gb in blue and underlined.

    I am using Magento 1.4 and used magento connect manager to download the extension.

    how do I get the flags to show?

    Hi,

    I have installed this extenssion on Magento 1.4.1.1.
    Magento connect says it is ok , but it does not appears in admin or front.
    I wateched on the server and files seem to be not present.
    For example the directory /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/easyflags/ is not present.

    Is there a posibility to install it manualy ?

    I have manually installed easy flags but cant get it to work. Do i need to edit something (file(s)). I have a theme installed which is not in the default/default directory. I copied the files accordingly but still no language flags appear. Do you have any suggestions for me?

    Reply
    • TemplatesMaster November 15, 2010 at 6:14 pm #

      You should also either rename flags to have same filenames as your store codes or change store codes names to be the same as country iso codes.

    I installed manually both Ajax search & Autocomplete and the prolabels extensions. I might say – I am disappointed that you dont mention anywhere in the description that Prolabels extension isnt compatible with anything else than magento 1.4. Also – I get access denied in backend for both – I tried everything stated here – nothing works.
    Please email me… I am getting very frustrated.

    Thanks for the great app!
    I am trying to change the Alt for each country. Ie: should say ‘anglais’ when you hover the English flag while surfing on the english version.

    Can you guide me into a work around perhaps?
