Yes, this should be possible since it's just another kind of block, you could follow the instructions on this conversation, you would just do it for the switch language block.

In your case the block's name is 'switch_language' and anything that is mentioned in those calls to $bt->controller is going to be located in packages/blocks/controller.php

If you run up against anything just post back to the thread.


edit: Changed "would" to "should" up there since I haven't personally tested this.

Here's a good how-to on hard coding blocks into page types:

But you'd also need to call the block's javascript, maybe in the header.

thanks for the help.
I got the block into my template, but it didn't seem to work right, so I tried the other solution from the "How to hardcode.." tutorial: to insert a line of code that embeds a block you created and saved in your scrapbook.
That worked fine.

indeed, and for those whoo want to inclide the flags display, choose the appropriate template :

Thanks for adding that. We've had a few folks ask how to add the flags (which are usually enabled by selecting the custom template) but it's good to have an example of how to hard-code them as well.
