Dear Sir/Madam,

I manually upload the document to server via ftp, I name the file as xxxx_e.pdf and xxxx_c.pdf for both language English and Traditional Chinese respectively. How can I get the current language from the page and define the condition

[condition lang=en]
         <a target="_blank" href="/press/[types field='press_pdf' output='raw'][/types]_e.pdf">[wpv-post-title]</a>
[/condition]
[condition lang!=en]
         <a target="_blank" href="/press/[types field='press_pdf' output='raw'][/types]_c.pdf">[wpv-post-title]</a>
[/condition]

Hi Kelvin,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Try using this custom shortcode below.

// Add Shortcode
function cust_get_current_language() {

	if ( defined( 'ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE' ) ) {
	  return ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE;
	}

}
add_shortcode( 'cust_get_current_language', 'cust_get_current_language' );

Add this to your custom code section by going to Toolset -> Settings -> Custom Code.

Then you need to add the custom shortcode name to the views 3rd party shortcode arguments in Toolset->Settings -> Frontend.

Finally you should be able to do this.

[wpv-conditional if="('[cust_get_current_language]' eq 'cn']
         <a target="_blank" href="/press/[types field='press_pdf' output='raw'][/types]_e.pdf">[wpv-post-title]</a>
[/wpv-conditional]

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane

Dear Shane

May I know whether it is same as adding script in functions.php? I prefer to add code to functions.php. I add the code to functions.php what should I add from the Toolset Settings > Front-end Content? Only the Third-party shortcode arguments or Functions inside conditional evaluations but no Third-party shortcode inside conditional evaluations.

I refer to the article from https://toolset.com/forums/topic/problem-with-condtional-output-for-custom-function/

I found it use Third-party shortcode inside conditional evaluations, is it not support anymore?

// Add Shortcode
function cust_get_current_language() {
 
    if ( defined( 'ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE' ) ) {
      return ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE;
    }
 
}
add_shortcode( 'cust_get_current_language', 'cust_get_current_language' );

Hi Kelvin,

Yes it is the same as adding it to the functions.php file. Remember if you add it to the toolset custom code section you will need to click the activate link.

Only the Third-party shortcode arguments or Functions inside conditional evaluations but no Third-party shortcode inside conditional evaluations.

You will need to add the shortcode name to the Third Party shortcode argument box i.e add "cust_get_current_language"

Third party shortcode arguments is still supported.

Thanks,
Shane
