Hi,
I have a bilingual site.
I created a registration form an I added this on two post, one for language.
In creation form I did not found site localization field.
I would like to set the value of this field to the same language of registration page, where user submit form.
In this way all automatic email communication send to the user will arrive in the correct language.
There is a hook to do this?

thank

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

There is no built-in method available in the Toolset Forms for this, so it will require some workaround and custom code.

WordPress store's the ISO language code for the user's selected WordPress admin language as a value, in the user meta field with key 'locale'.
( ISO Language Code Table: hidden link )

In your user registration form, you can include a hidden generic field and fill its value with the language code of the current page's language. After that, you can use the 'cred_save_data' hook to programmatically set that selected language value into the user's 'locale' meta field:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_user_meta/

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

It's not very clear.
How can I get $user_id from cred_save_data
I don't see it in the Arguments

thanks

Thanks for writing back.

The first argument "post_id", will hold the ID of the created post or the created user, depending on whether it is a post form or a user form.

For example:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($user_id, $form_data)
{
	// if a specific form
	if ($form_data['id']==1234)
	{
		update_user_meta( $user_id, 'locale', $_POST['locale'] );
	}
}

In this example, the code will execute for only the form with ID "1234" and get the language code value from the generic field with slug "locale" and set it for the user meta field, with the same slug/key.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
