[pmwiki-users] usage of (:selectlang:) MultiLanguageViews

[Patrick Ogay Evolution]

If I place (:selectlang:) in the horizontal navigation - which is in
fact another wikipage - Results is empty (because I work with
$[variables]  not with (:if lang:) may be could make dummy sections
aswell. 

But Now I assign a page in the routine: 
MLVSelectLangMarkupBts  (like MLVSelectLangMarkup) but with: 

$pagenameBak = $pagename;
$pagename = 'Public.Projekt'; /* all langs neded */
and restore it. 

*
Thanks for hint: 
I had to remove the changement in 
$LinkPageExistsFmt 
which keept the langage, but prevented the switch:-)

So the switch to the langages are o.k. and the langage is stored in a
cookie. 

It's o.k. But the first idea was to work without cookie. 

thanks a lot.
