Automatically generated switchers shortcodes

To include languages or currencies switchers via shortcodes, you can use automatically generated shortcodes on the switcher page. E.g. follow next steps to find language switcher shortcode:

1. Go to "Settings" -> "Languages" -> "Switchers" page of the LangShop application.
2. Select needed switcher or create new.
3. Copy automatically generated switcher shortcode.

   

4. Use copied shortcode in any place of your store's content.

Create simple languages/currencies links

You can use [LS_LANGUAGE_TITLE] or [LS_CURRENCY_TITLE] shortcodes to create simple list with links. [LS_LANGUAGE_HREF] and [LS_CURRENCY_HREF] shortcodes allow you to use language/currency switching on the click action. See the usage examples below.

Input

<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="[LS_LANGUAGE_HREF en]">
            [LS_LANGUAGE_TITLE en]
        </a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="[LS_LANGUAGE_HREF fr]">
            [LS_LANGUAGE_TITLE fr]
        </a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="[LS_LANGUAGE_HREF ar]">
            [LS_LANGUAGE_TITLE ar]
        </a>
    </li>
</ul>

Output

<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="javascript:LangShopSDK.switchLanguage('en');">
            English
        </a>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="javascript:LangShopSDK.switchLanguage('fr');">
            French

    </li>
</ul>
