Hi George,

I've been searching to find a website selector/switcher and store selector switcher to implement in addition to the default store view selector available with Magento. I've thought of doing it manually with a simple HTML dropdown, however this is obviously not the ideal solution.

Any idea or suggestions on how this could be implemented in CE 1.8? I have not managed to find anything except outdated posts back in 2010 on inchoo that tackle the subject and the code is outdated and not workable for 1.7-1.9.
