How to show the inactive language only from the language selector?

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

Hi,

I have a multi-language site (En, Ar) and I’m using Switch B from the [docs] (https://getkirby.com/docs/guide/languages/switching-languages) to make my language selector.

Is there a PHP/Kirby way to just show the inactive language? Currently, I’m using a hacky CSS way to hide the active language from the selector.

<nav class="languages">
  <ul>
    <?php foreach($kirby->languages() as $language): ?>
    <?php if ($kirby->language() == $language) continue; ?>
    <li>
      <a href="<?= $page->url($language->code()) ?>" hreflang="<?php echo $language->code() ?>">
        <?= html($language->name()) ?>
      </a>
    </li>
    <?php endforeach ?>
  </ul>
</nav>

This is what I’m missing. Been trying to do the If statement but always gives an error or still shows both language.

As always, to the rescue. Thank you @texnixe

Hi texnixe,

This post was a while back, and I know there has been a few Kirby releases since, so i’m guessing this code would have changed.

What would be the updated version for this code? @texnixe

Thank you,

The code is still perfectly fine.

You’re right, it still works perfectly. So for those who want to use this for Kirby 4.0.1, I can confirm it works.
