The issue here is that the user had hardcoded a link into his page but when the user switched his language the link was pointing to the incorrect translation.
Solution:
The main reason for this is the hardcoding of the link. The user needed some way to switch the link based on translation.
I was able to write up a custom shortcode to help with this.
To use this you just need to write [current_language] and it will return the current language code.
Now you need to use this in our conditional shortcode to switch between the links.
Example
[wpv-conditional if="( '[current_language]' eq 'fr' )"]
French Link
[/wpv-conditional]
This will be almost the same for the second language just that you will replace the fr and the french link with the german alternatives.
For this to work in the conditional shortcode you need to add the text 'current_language' to the views 3rd party shortcode arguments in Toolset -> Settings -> Frontend Content
Problem: I created a custom type named 'member' with a field named 'mail'. I want to display after the member content (of each member) a form with subject, email of the sender and body inputs. When submitting this form an email will be sent to the member using his e-mail address (field 'mail').
Solution:
- Create a new post type called "Guest Messages" or something similar. Every time someone submits the form on the front-end of the site, a new post will be created in this post type.
- Create a new custom field group that contains all the fields you want to display in the form - subject, sender email, and message. Assign this field group to the Guest Messages post type.
- Create a CRED form that creates new Guest Messages posts. Auto-generate the form code, then insert a hidden generic field. Set the value of that hidden field to be the "mail" field value of the current Member, like this:
- Insert any other information you want the email to include using Types and Views shortcodes.
- In the CRED notification builder, you select the generic hidden field "member-email" to be used as the "To:" destination email address. You may have to submit the form once on the front-end of the site to see your hidden field appear in the options here.
- Insert this CRED form in the Content Template or Template Layout assigned to the Members post type using the CRED forms shortcodes.
Problem: I have a View that shows posts, but only the posts from a single language. I would like to show all the posts from all the languages.
Solution: If the posts are created in the default site language, you can use the option "use translation if available or fallback to default language" in Multilingual Content Setup. If the posts are created in a secondary language, you must translate those posts or use custom code to copy them into the default language.
