WPML: how to show places in default language when translation is missing

The title gives it pretty much away. How can that be achieved for listings and detail pages?
So if there is for example mostly content in the default language, the home page and other listings should display the posts in the default language for those posts that are not translated.

I don’t know if it is related, but after I installed WPML, the virtual pages did not show up anymore in the pages section. I opened the pages directly via entering their id that I found out in the database, set the language to my default language and resaved them. Then I added translations to them. After that, they show up again in the pages section.

Hi wu,

I am sure there is a setting in wpml somewhere for that, have you found this and it’s not working or have you just not found this setting?

All that I found is the switch that decides if places get translated or not.
In both options, the listings only display places with the current languages.

WPML>Languages>Language switcher options>How to handle languages without translation>>

I tried both settings, but got the same result: it only shows places in the current language and nothing if there is no translation for the current language.

Hi wu, i tried and got the same result, i don’t use WPML much and i’m not sure if this is the designed functionality, can you maybe ask on the wpml forum?

What I found out so far, is that there is a setting called “Blog posts to display” that does exactly what I need, but only for blog posts and not for other post types. As I understand, it would require custom coding for other post types.

Here I found an example for that:

http://wpml.org/forums/topic/custom-post-type-content-from-default-language-to-display-in-2nd-language/


/* WPML
 * Display default content on missing languages
 */
add_filter('icl_ls_languages', 'wpml_ls_filter');
 
function wpml_ls_filter($languages) {
    global $sitepress;
 
    $default_url = $languages[$sitepress->get_default_language()]['url'];
    foreach($languages as $lang_code => $language){
        if($languages[$lang_code]['missing']==1){
            $languages[$lang_code]['url'] = $default_url;
        }
    }
return $languages;
}

But in that form it does not work.
Maybe I need to attach it to another hook?

Or would some customization of the query like in that thread be needed?

Hi,

this looks like a good question for WPML forum?

Thanks.

The guys over there are asking for the code that displays the posts.
I think it is code in geodirectory-functions/listing_filters.php, but I am not sure about that. Could you please point me to the correct location?

When I replace:


$where .= " AND icl_t.language_code = '$lang_code' AND icl_t.element_type IN('post_".$q_post_type."') ";

with:


$where .= " AND icl_t.language_code = '$default_lang_code' AND icl_t.element_type IN('post_".$q_post_type."') ";

in geodir_default_where(), posts are showing up only in the default language only, so this seems to be the right place.

Is this function controlling all GeoDirectory posts on all pages, or is there more code to look out for?
