Hello guys!
I want to know where is it appropriate to extend CWidget and where to extend CPortlet.
I have a multilingual site, in my case its with predefined number of languages - two, English and Bulgarian. I have already implemented the language change by get param, which sets the language to a COOKIE as well, but now I need a simple list of languages in header as flags, which are simple links to the page in the other language.
Here is where I get confused. In the blog tutorial all such small modules are well, "portlets" but when I browsed the extensions here, I found examples which are "widgets". As I see, both will do, but which is best practice in what situation?
When to extend CPortlet, when to extend CWidget?
Thank you!
