[Resolved] Multi-lingual Post title auto generation with CRED

[Author]

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Titles for my custom posts are automatically generated via code in function.php (see ticket link below); those titles are made out of a string of custom taxonomy, dates, and other selectable custom fields. My question is how to generate those titles automatically in a different language for each post transalation (wpml installed)?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/get-custom-taxonomy-in-auto-title/

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not sure

What is the link to your site?
Locally testing

Hi Bruno,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. For this you can use wpml_current_language hook and put your code for each language:

if($current_language_code == 'en') {
// add your Enlgish code here...
}

elseif($current_language_code == 'de') {
// add your German code here...
}

This way code will fetch translated version of the post based on the current language user is viewing the site in. Thank you

Hi Noman,
Thanks for your help. Are those hooks to be used withing the function.php file or in the layout?
So far, my titles are generated directly via functions and simply called in the layout via the shortcode [wpv-post-title].
Thanks.

I missed the doc link in my previous reply, so here is doc for the hook wpml_current_language:
https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_current_language/

- Yes the hook & code needs to be added in the functions.php file.

- And for Translating layouts & its content please take a look at this doc:
https://toolset.com/documentation/translating-sites-built-with-toolset/translating-layouts/

Thank you

Hi Noman, that part is clearer now; thanks.
I am still struggling with how to effectively generate a post in a particular language: I found this thread on wpml support (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/auto-duplicate-postspages-on-publish/#post-153430) that might help but am still not sure on how to get the translated variables into the title string.
My 'mono' code is

//* CRED autotitle for CREATE custom post
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
  if ($form_data['id']==XXXX) {
    $term_list = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, 'listing-type', array("fields" => "names","orderby"=>"term_id"));    
    $auctiontype = join("-",$term_list);
    $auctionnumber = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-auction-number', true);
    $auctiondate = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-auction-ending', true);
    $auctiondate = date('j F Y',$auctiondate);
    $dayofweek = date('l', strtotime($auctiondate));
    $title= $auctiontype. ': ' .$dayofweek. ' ' .$auctiondate. ': ' .$auctionnumber;}

Thanks.

Hello,

Please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and check this. Please note that we do not debug custom code or custom requirements much as per our support policy (https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/) but I would like to take a look and see what I can find.

Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

✙ Please also provide link to the page, CRED form backend and share all the needed info.

Thank you

Hello Noman,
Sorry for the late reaction. I'd like to put this issue on ice right now until my other issues with CRED are fully ironed out.
Cheers.

Okay, take your time. I would always be happy to help you.

Have a great day,
Thank you
