Hello and first of all thanks for making Corona - great theme!!

Now to my trouble:

My page has a portfolio-categorie "hotels" and i want to make it available in 3 languages.
For WPML and the cat-filter to work proper, I create a translated copy of the hotel-category, too.

Next I create a dynamic template with portfolio and assign it to all languages of the page. works for the primary language but when i switch to second language, the portfolio is empty. the frontend doesn't recognize that it has to use the translated version of the hotel-category.

So i wanted to work-around and create dynamic templates for each language - but at this point the template builder just shows me the cat's of the first language ... I cannot select the translated versions of the hotel-category.

The final question:

I there a way to generate one single dynamic template which recognizes the different languages of my hotel-category??

Hey

I am afaraid the combination of dynamic portfolios + WPML is currently not supported properly. Its a shortcomming in both the theme code and the plugin and I wasnt able til yet to fix this issues.

Sorry for that, once I have found a way to make all of that work well together an update will be released

Well, I was trying to patch this in portfolio-loop, by modifying the includeArray:
//transform CATs for languages if(function_exists('icl_object_id')) { foreach ($includeArray as &$value) { $value = icl_object_id($value,'category',true); } }
By this I got a warning that the array is empty. How is that possible - there are 3 cat's assigned to the dynamic template.

Hi!

Hey!

Probably because this is already taken care of in includes/helper-templates.php at line 967
Nevertheless the portfolio is not working 100% fine, and I am at this point not sure why thats the case...

Hello!

Regarding line 949, this seems to affect the static portfolio page only, not the dynamic template portfolio.

I will try to trace where the category IDs are lost on the way to the portfolio loop :-)

Best regards

Edit: seems that avia_config is empty when calling a translated page on line 8 of loop-portfolio.php ... confusing.

For now I ended up on helper-templates.php:473 where a variable called portfolio_cats_dynamic is used.

This one is empty when I have a translated page (and listing the cats when I load a page in my primary lang)

Update: Seems to be a malfunction in WPML.

I was able to set the translated cat-ID manually right after helper-templates.php:470 in $portfolio_cats_dynamic. Worked in the frontend.
So I tried to do it with icl_object_id() but it always returns the same ID that I pass to it.

Googling i found that icl_object_id cannot handle custom post types and categories by default. too bad :-/

Bad joke that WPML lets me translate these items in the dashboard :)

Yes - the documentation: http://wpml.org/documentation/support/creating-multilingual-wordpress-themes/language-dependent-ids/#2 just mentions ‘post’, ‘page’, ‘post_tag’ or ‘category’. I'd create a feature request thread here: http://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/ and ask them to extend the function.

Good news, i got it to work. As i saw later on in helper-templates.php a call like icl_object_id($term_id, 'portfolio_entries', true);

The type 'portfolio_entries' works for categories, too. The beginning of my dynamic portfolio() function is now like this:

function portfolio($element) { extract($element['saved_value'][0]); global $avia_config;
$avia_config['portfolio_columns'] = $portfolio_columns; $avia_config['portfolio_item_count'] = $portfolio_item_count; $catArray = explode(',', $portfolio_cats_dynamic);
if (function_exists('icl_object_id')) { foreach ($catArray as $key => $value ) { $catArray[$key] = icl_object_id($value, 'portfolio_entries', true); } } $portfolio_cats_dynamic = implode(",", $catArray); ... ...

Now i can create a single dynamic templates with portfolios, just assign the categories in my primary language and all the language hustle is fixed automaticly.

Same problem with post/page module in dynamic templates was much easier to solve:

function post_page($element) { extract($element['saved_value'][0]); $output = ""; switch($dynamic_which_post_page) { case'post': $query_id = $dynamic_post_id; $type ='post'; break; case'page': $query_id = $dynamic_page_id; $type ='page'; break; case'self': $query_id = $this->post_id; $type = get_post_type( $this->post_id ); break; } //WPML ready if (function_exists('icl_object_id')) $query_id = icl_object_id($query_id, $type, true); ...
