Hello, do you have a specific question about this? Is it not working for you?

[valentinP-3]

Unfortunately it does not work.

[valentinP-3]

We would like to autoduplicate the content submitted in front end, in the other two languages we have. And it does not work. Is there a solution WPML-Toolset? we tried the above mentioned code, but not working. thx

1. What is the primary language of your site?
2. What are the secondary languages of your site?
3. Is the Form on a primary language page, or a secondary language page?
4. Please share the code you have used so I can see the changes you made.
5. Is the original post created as expected, or is there an error?

1. Primary = Romanian

2. Secondary = English + German

3. The form is in english, but it is also translated (duplicated) into both languages.

4. function wpml_make_post_duplicate_language( $master_post_id, $lang_to ) {

global $sitepress;

$master_post = get_post( $master_post_id );

if ( 'auto-draft' === $master_post->post_status || 'revision' === $master_post->post_type ) {
return;
}

$active_langs = $sitepress->get_active_languages();

if (array_key_exists($lang_to, $active_langs)) {

$trid = $sitepress->get_element_trid( $master_post->ID, 'post_' . $master_post->post_type );
$lang_from = $sitepress->get_source_language_by_trid( $trid );

if ( $lang_from == $lang_to ) {
return;
}

$sitepress->make_duplicate( $master_post_id, $lang_to );
}
}

add_action( 'wpml_make_post_duplicate_lang', 'wpml_make_post_duplicate_language', 10, 2 );

function quick_duplicate_save_data_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
$form_langs = array(
729 => 'en',
1177 => 'de',
1178 => 'ro',
);
if( isset( $form_langs[$form_data['id']] ) ) {
global $sitepress;
$lang_to = $form_langs[$form_data['id']];
do_action( 'wpml_make_post_duplicate_lang', $post_id, $lang_to );
}
}
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'quick_duplicate_save_data_action', 10, 2 );

5. The original post is created as expected (ok). When introducing a new post in Romanian language, sometimes it's duplicated well but only in english (not in german), but not all the time. Sometimes the post does not duplicate but it creates wrong links that point to other translations.

[Christian Cox]

The code above is for a very specific case where the User does not want to duplicate the post into all the secondary languages right away. Your code will be simpler. Try this instead:

function quick_duplicate_save_data_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
    $forms = array( 123, 456, 789 );
    if ( in_array($forms, $form_data['id'] ) ){
        global $sitepress;
        // Use new WPML API   
        do_action( 'wpml_admin_make_post_duplicates', $post_id ) ;  
    }      
}    
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'quick_duplicate_save_data_action', 10, 2 );

Change 123, 456, 789 to be a comma-separate list of your Form IDs. The order of the numbers is not important.

Hi Cristian, still does not work, below is our functions.php file in the child theme. In Romanian and English it simply save the post but no duplication.
Moreover, in german language - add new post, it save the post so I can see it in german posts but the post link is wrong - it goes to other post in english
One other question that may be important: Is it mandatory to have the Multilingual Tools plugin installed, are there any other specific settings we need to make there?
Please advise, thx

Hello,

Do you have a solution to this request?

Thx!

[Shane]

Hi Valentin,

I must apologize for the delay in response as Christian is currently on Vacation so I will be handling the ticket here.

Would you mind providing me with access to the site so that I can run some debugging on this to check to see why it is not working for you ?

The private fields have been enabled for your next response.

Thanks,
Shane

[valentinP-3]

Ok. Unfortunately, I can't see the private fields where I can insert my login settings.

[Shane]

Hi Valentin,

Please check now, they should be enabled.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Valentine,

I'm trying to improve on the code for you, however I need to know which form will the user always be using to fill out the information as well as what are the other form translations.

Currently the code is this.

function quick_duplicate_save_data_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
$forms = array( 729, 1177, 1178 );
if ( in_array($forms, $form_data['id'] ) ){
 $form_langs = array(
    123 => 'en',
    456 => 'de',
    789 => 'ro',
  );
  if( isset( $form_langs[$form_data['id']] ) ) {
    global $sitepress;
    $lang_to = $form_langs[$form_data['id']];
    do_action( 'wpml_make_post_duplicate_lang', $post_id, $lang_to );
  }}
}
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'quick_duplicate_save_data_action', 10, 2 );

But i need to replace the id with the correct id's of the form language i.e en must map to the id of the en for etc.

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane, the ID's are as follows:
2283 English - then the other two (2303 German and 2304 Romanian) are duplicated forms of the English one.
Is it mandatory that the user will introduce the data through the first we designed, the English one? (as said the other one are duplicated), or is it possible to introduce posts through all of them? Maybe if we translate the forms independently?
We would prefer to introduce the data in the Romanian one, but not be limited to this option.
Thx
Valentin

Hi Valentin,

I've managed to fix the code and it should now be working.

The final code is.

function quick_duplicate_save_data_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
$forms = array( 2283, 2303, 2304 );
if ( in_array($form_data['id'],$forms) ){
    global $sitepress;
    do_action( 'wpml_make_post_duplicates', $post_id);
  }
}
add_action( 'cred_save_data', 'quick_duplicate_save_data_action', 10, 2 );

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
