slug translation implemented, needs review

[baga]

This slug plugin is fantastic, i was looking for it for ages.
I have a question, would it be possible to make it work with this plugin "Google XML Sitemaps with qTranslate Support" http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/goo ... e-support/

[sprutniks]

Can anyone tell me where do i put

Code: Select all

qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl($lang)

inside my theme?

anywhere you like to manually get the URL of the current page translated, instead of using the automatic qTranslateSlug_generateLanguageSelectCode()

would it be possible to make it work with this plugin "Google XML Sitemaps with qTranslate Support"

It should already be supported: after all it's the query/domain/prepath language code that matters.
But if you'd like to make it fully work and submit translated slugs into the sitemap, according to http://www.neoegm.com/tech/wordpress/plugins/qtranslate-support-for-the-google-xml-sitemaps-generator-wordpress-plugin/, I guess editing should better take place on that plugin.

Since the qtranslateslug plugin, after removing default qtranslate values, adds filters to page_link, post_link (tag and categories aren't yet implemented),
replacing every qtrans_convertURL with qTranslateSlug_convertURL could be enough (if not even needed at all), but:
-check if function exists, if not then run the normal qtrans_convertURL
-this function doesnt really collect translated slugs at the moment

So we have to test the results

If it's not working, be sure to doublecheck your permalink structure as Thomas pointed out here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plug ... r-language
It has to be "/%post_id%/%postname%"
Finally working for me!!!!

I use:
qTranslate
qTranslate META
qTranslate slug

My permalink structure is:
/%post_id%/%postname%/

I have a /se/ and a /en/ set up.
I want to use both pages and posts together with qtranslate and still have good SEO.

I got from:
/se/vara-viner/
/en/vara-viner/

to:
/se/vara-viner/
/en/our-wines/

Which is perfect, thanks to qTranslate slug.
Now to my problem! What happens when I use /%post_id%/%postname%/ is that the posts permalink messes up.

It becomes, by default:
/se/%postid%/vidal-ice-wine-2008-erhaller-guld-i-vin-vm/
/en/%postid%/vidal-ice-wine-2008-receives-gold-in-challenge-international-du-vin/

And nothing works. I try to browse to just /en/vidal-ice-wine-2008-receives-gold-in-challenge-international-du-vin/ but it changes and returns a 404.

Can ayone help me? Any plugins? core hack? a function?
The permlink works to the posts if I change the permlink structure to /%postname%/ but then my second langauge doesn't work (the /en site) exactly which is discussed in this thread.

Sorry I used %postid% instead of %post_id%. Now it works with.

en/185/vidal-ice-wine-2008-receives-gold-in-challenge-international-du-vin/

Well, I read all posts, I'm a noob in PHP but I managed to find a way to solve my problem, the slug with pages.

My default language is Spanish, so if the user are a page (mysite.com/nosotros) and he click in change to English, it works, but the url become (mysite.com/en/nosotros) but well, he can see the English content, the main problem is if the user are view the page in English from the beginning, the url is (mysite.com/en/about-us) ok it works great, but if he change to Spanish the url become (mysite.com/about-us) and show 404 error. Then I found here the function qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl()

I get this function from: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1476&p=6023&hilit=qtrans_generateLanguageSelectCode#p6046

But I edit it, I change the qtrans_convertURL(curPageURL(), 'variableLanguage') to qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl('variableLanguage') and it works like a charm.


This is my code:

Code: Select all

function langlist () {
   
   echo '<ul>';
   if (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'es') {
      echo '<li><a href="' . qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl('en') . '">Change to English</a></li>';
   } elseif (qtrans_getLanguage() == 'en') {
      echo '<li><a href="' . qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl('es') . '">Cambiar a Español</a></li>';
   } else {
      echo '<li><a href="' . qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl('es') . '">Cambiar a  Español</a></li>';
      echo '<li><a href="' . qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl('en') . '">Change to English</a></li>';
   }
   echo '</ul>';
}

so now, dont care if the user are in Spanish or English, this function get the correct slug for each language, if he are en Spanish (mysite.com/nosotros) and click English the url change to (mysite.com/en/about-us) and if he click English to Spanish the url change to (mysite.com/nosotros)

I know that this solution had already discussed here, but I post this for some new people in PHP like me to help them with this explanation. Between my permanent link format is : /%post_id%/%postname%

Thanks for the plugin and support!

Hi guys

I am not a wordpress expert but I absolutely needed qTranslate to work with categories slug in URL. The plugin posted here was excellent in managing multilingual slugs for posts/pages though it didn't work with categories, I watched the code and lots of parts about categories were still reporting "TODO: implement it!" well I implemented those parts about categories slugs. And now you can choose category slug in any enabled language directly from the category edit form.

Please I'd like any wordpress expert coder to review my work since as I said it's my first time coding for wordpress though I can say it is working like charm on my production wordpress 3.1

Hi again guys

I noticed that using default qtranslate language switcher didn't work when you choose custom multilingual slugs so I added qtranslate slug language switcher and moreover I fixed a bug with slugs of parent categories. That is: in previous version 0.5, when you assigned a multilingual slug to a category it was successfully translated yet if this category had any parent categories, the parent categories were not translated by the plugin. Now this version also translates the slugs of parent categories.
