Hi
I’m using PagelinePro theme for a page i'm building: www.americasblindspot.com .
it's a bilingual site, spanish and english, using the Qtranslate
plugin, that works great for titles and texts, but I don't know how to add code so that the the URLs I add in the boxes and features redirects to the appropriate language page.
Example: I switch my page to Spanish, and all the text is indeed translated correctly. But when I clik on a feature or box link, it redirects back to the English version of that page.
Can i included anything in the field “Feature Link URL: Adding a URL here will add a link to your feature slide-Enter Feature Link URL” so that it will send me to the Spanish version?
Thanks in advance

Add the following to platformbase/functions.php

 
function add_lang_features($metadata, $object_id, $meta_key, $single){
if ( function_exists( 'qtrans_getLanguage' ) && isset($meta_key) && 'feature-link-url' === $meta_key) {
 
  return sprintf( '%s?lang=%s', $metadata, qtrans_getLanguage() );
}
	 return $metadata;
}
add_filter('get_post_metadata', 'add_lang_features', true, 4);

Ok. I did something wrong.
From the editor in appearance, I selected the platformbase theme to edit. I opened function.php and on the bottom i pasted what you sent. But nothing happened.
did i do something wrong?

[Simon_P]

You probably dont have the platformbase theme activated. Also strongly advise against using the wp theme/plugin editor, its BAD, always edit files with FTP

[gcoppola7]

thanks for the advice. I went through my ftp platformbase/functions.php and pasted what you sent, and still doesn't work.
any ideas?

[Simon_P]

You probably dont have the platformbase theme activated

Go to Appearance/themes and activate the child theme.

[gcoppola7]

I appreciate your patience. I'm a bigger obviously. But in any case, I activated platformbase. It deactivated the pro, or at least it shows as needing reactivating, deactivated all my widgets and sidebars, and it's still not redirecting me to the correct language page.
everything that is deactivated with platformbase theme is reconfigured when i reactivate the platformpro.

[Simon_P]

Well the code will only run when platformbase is activated, yes widgets and menus may need re-adding, they are stored on a theme by theme basis.

Its up to you if you want to use it, i tested the code, it works 100%

[gcoppola7]

OK. I re-added all now that pagelinesbase is activated. page looks as before, minus a tweak here and there, but it's still not directing me to the right pages. i don't doubt the code is 100% funcional, but I don't know what i'm doing wrong:
i included the code in pagelinesbase/functions via FTP, I activated pagelinesbase theme is appearance, i double checked all of the above...

[Simon_P]

I'm looking into it.

[Simon_P]

OK it was slightly more complicated

revised code.

 function add_lang_features($metadata, $object_id, $meta_key, $single){if ( ! is_admin() && function_exists( 'qtrans_getLanguage' ) && isset($meta_key) && 'feature-link-url' === $meta_key) {  remove_filter( 'get_post_metadata', 'add_lang_features', 999, 4 );  $data = get_post_meta( $object_id, 'feature-link-url' );  $link = sprintf( '%s/?lang=%s', $data[0], qtrans_getLanguage() );  add_filter('get_post_metadata', 'add_lang_features', 999, 4);  return $link;}	 return $metadata;}add_filter('get_post_metadata', 'add_lang_features', 999, 4);

[gcoppola7]

Hmmmm. Still not working. I replaced with the new code in the pagelinesbase/functions, and I confirmed the code code was actually changed. But still nothing. should i be adding something in the actual box to write the URL in each box and feature?
Thanks for your patience and insistance

[Simon_P]

Well yea, each feature will need a link, the filter just adds ?lang=xx to the end of the url

[gcoppola7]

Sorry, i didn't explain myself. Of course all boxes and features have a link. But none of them have the ?lang=xx ending... the filter is not working...

[Simon_P]

I have it working here, can you screenshot the feature settings for the feature on the home page

[gcoppola7]

OK. It's very small, so let me know if you can see all of it.

[gcoppola7]

and once of the boxes

[Simon_P]

OK. It's very small, so let me know if you can see all of it.

Its small alright, where is it? lol

[gcoppola7]

so sorry....

and
