[Agrafagr]

Sorry, what you mean?

[CarlosSanz]

I mean there is a version 0.9 ( adaptation of original Qtranslate Slug plugin writed by Cimatti ). This version adds support to categories, tags, taxonomies and custom post types.
And i will upload to 1.0 soon, completely rewritted, better coded, commented and with some enhancements on it.

greetings.

Carlos, does your plugin have an equivalent to qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl($lang), i.e. a function I can call from funtions.php to implement a language switcher?

[CarlosSanz]

If you want to print a language switcher menu, call this function:

Code: Select all

if (function_exists('qts_language_menu') ) qts_language_menu('dropdown');

Arguments of this function are:

Code: Select all

qts_language_menu($type, $args);
$type = 'text', 'image', 'dropdown', 'both'
$args = array(
    'id' => 'qts-lang-menu', // ID of html oputput
    'class' => 'qts-lang-menu',  // class / classes of the html output
    'short' => false // if true, display text as short 'English' -> 'en'
)


If you want to know the current url in other language, you can do:

Code: Select all

global $qtranslate_slug;
$qtranslate_slug->get_current_url('en');

Could you be a bit more specific please?

The Plugin works well, but my lanugage selector doesn't work with it. I don't use a wigdet but have put this code:

Code: Select all

<?php echo qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode('text'); ?>

in my header.php. I modified it with an entry in the theme's functions.php to shorten the text to DE and EN, should this be of any interest.

I dont have a clue where and how I should get my hands on.

Does anybody have an idea?

Use this code instead:

<?php if (function_exists('qts_language_menu') ) qts_language_menu('text'); ?>

Sorry, but this doesn't work for me. I tried it before - it destroys the layout of the page and also requires new formatting in css.

UPDATE:

It works! This is what I did:

- updated WP to most recent version

- updated qtranslate to most recent version

- cleared all slug fields (3in my case 2 languages & 1 slug field a little lower down), then saved it. Basically this forces the regeneration of the slug from the title and it's translation. Before I didn't do this, switching the language with the language selector gave me 404s, while if I stayed within a language it usually was ok. Perhaps when setting up a new wp-installation with the final permalinkstructure from the very start this won't occur. I couldn't do it as when I started building the site my webspace package didn't support .htaccess so I couldn't use real pretty permalinks. I tried PATHINFO, but had the same trouble. Then I upgraded the webspace so now I have full .htaccess functionality, although the problem with using PATHINFO perhaps goes back to the same rootcause. Perhaps non of this was necessary either.
