Hello,
thank you for your fast answer.
In the following screenshots you can see that the plugin qTranslate X adds to every “translatable field” the option to change the language.

You also can see that this allows to add different content depending on the language you chose.
This is only possible for “translatable fields” which are marked with a blue stripe to the left of the field.
As one can easily see, this stripe is missing on the file uploader and therefore qTranslateX does not add the translation option to the download field.
I hope this helps.
best regards
Here you have some additional information.
I checked out the github of qTranslate-X and they are advertising with the feature that you can make custom fields translatable:

Here you can see the settings of the plugin:

I hope this helped.

Add Add this code in Settings > Languages > Integration > Custom Configuration:
{"vendor":{"plugins/lana-downloads-manager":"1.0"},"admin-config":{"lana_download":{"pages":{"post.php":"","post-new.php":""},"anchors":{"lana-downloads-manager":{},"lana-downloads-manager-info":{}}}}}
Thank you for your answer.
Your solution does not work properly.
It certainly adds a translation flag to the “File Manager” field but the field itself still is only able to contain one value.
For example. If you upload a picture, change the language afterwards and download a different one, the later upload is set for all languages.
But thank you for your solution.
best regards
Oh, I understand the problem because the file upload is Javascript and it does not work with the translate plugin.
Unfortunately, this is much more difficult to solve.
The simplest solution is if you do not use the file upload, you only provide the link to the file manually.
I usually use WPML plugin, it provides better compatibility. Among the free ones is Polylang which may be compatible.
Sadly it is a legacy project running for a high priority customer. We cannot change the plugins on the run.
Is it possible to provide a file upload field for each language?
best regards
Works with this code:
{"vendor":{"plugins/lana-downloads-manager":"1.1"},"admin-config":{"lana_download":{"pages":{"post.php":"","post-new.php":""},"anchors":{"lana-downloads-manager":{},"lana-downloads-manager-info":{}},"forms":{"post":{"fields":{"upload-file-url":{"jquery":"#upload-file-url"},"upload-file-id":{"jquery":"#upload-file-id"}}}}}}}
But in this case the frontend interface does not work because the language delimited file URL does not work properly. So the download button doesn’t work.
thank you very much for your answer!
I will test the code tomorrow and give a response.
best regards
Can you give me feedback? Did the code work?
Hello Lana Codes,
The plugin is working for the backend side (wp-admin). One can save for all languages provided by qTranslate-X.
But we still have following Problem:
$meta = get_post_meta($download->ID);
$url = $meta['lana_download_file_url'][0];
$fileid = $meta['lana_download_file_id'][0];
When trying to get the url or the file_id we get the untraslated string that contains all languages.For Example: [:en]InEngish[:de]InDeutsch[:]
I found the filter named “get_post_metadata” which is the function “lana_downloads_manager_qtranslate_filter_postmeta” added in the lana-downloads-manager-qtranslate plugin. But I am not sure if thats the right way to get the job done.
Appreciate your help.
best regards
I was looking at this solution from the qTranslate X official website.
Yes, meta is basically saved in two languages when the plugin is enabled. You then need to use the qTranslate X filter function to separate the two languages metadata.
These functions are for this purpose:
qtranxf_filter_postmeta();
qtranxf_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage();
There may be other solutions, but I only found this solution.
Thanks for the answer. I will test the solution now and write you a message if it worked.
The functions you mentioned worked well to get the translated version for fields like
lana_download_file_url.
But I am still failing to access the real value of
lana_download_file_id.
I get the id “0” and cannot access the file through
get_attached_file.

Yes, I think I understand the problem.
lana_download_file_id
The ID field is generated by a JS code. For this to work, I would need to rewrite the JS section, which would be a big job, I don’t know how to do it, I don’t know how, I didn’t find any documentation about it.
So only the URL field will work.
Later, if I have more free time, I will try to find a solution.
thank you very much. Just for clarification:
I invoke get_attached_file to work with following functions:
size_format
filesize
wp_check_filetype
