Changed all my URis!

Hi again @widescreen,

I guess that the serialized array with custom URIs (‘permalink-manager-uris’ option in wp_options table) were malformed when you did find&replace.

When it comes to conditional permastructures – yes, it is possible, but a custom code snippet will be needed:

function pm_translate_post_uris($default_uri, $native_slug, $element, $slug, $native_uri) {
	if($native_uri) { return $default_uri; }
	// Get language details
	$args = (!empty($element->ID)) ? array('element_id' => $element->ID, 'element_type' => $element->post_type) : array('element_id' => $element->term_id, 'element_type' => $element->taxonomy);
	$lang_code = apply_filters('wpml_element_language_code', null, $args);
  
	// Replace the base if German language is detected
	if(!empty($lang_code) && $lang_code == 'fr') {
		$default_uri = str_replace('myslug-en', 'myslug-fr', $default_uri);
	}
	return trim($default_uri, "/");
}
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_post_uri', 'pm_translate_post_uris', 10, 5);
add_filter('permalink_manager_filter_default_term_uri', 'pm_translate_post_uris', 10, 5);

Hi Maciej!
Thanks a lot!

I will for sure try the snippet! A part from ‘myslug-en’, ‘myslug-fr’ is there anything else I have to change in the snippet? (I don’t want to make mistakes!!)

Last 2 questions:
1) I see you use ‘apply_filters(‘wpml_element_language_code’… Can I use the exactly same code with Polylang?
2) Will it affect all posts or only my custom_post_type?

Thanks I really appreciate!

Hi,

No, that is the only thing that needs to be changed. Polylang supports this filter so it can be used with either WPML or Polylang. This will affect all default permalinks for all post types.

Thanks Maciej!!
For now I created a script to replace myslug-en with myslug-fr, in all french posts.
I placed it in permalink-manager-uri-editor-post.php
It’s a quick fix, just to have the site running, before I will insert your snippet.

I will share it here for anybody who needs it.
[maybe it would be nice to have a couple of fields where you can do replace THISWORD, with THATWORD, for post in THISLANGUAGE]
[I know you have the find&Replace tool, it’s good, but it’s not conditional and, if you have a loooot of posts, you get a memory error]

Here is my humble piece of code:

<button onclick=”correctUri()”>Replace bad French URis</button>
<br /><br />
<script type=”text/javascript”>
function correctUri(){
jQuery(“#the-list > tr”).each(function() {
var postlanguage = jQuery(this).find(“.item_title”).find(“.extra-info”).find(“span:eq(2)”).text();
var postID = jQuery(this).find(“.item_title”).find(“.row-actions”).find(“.id”).text(); if (postlanguage == “Language: fr”){
oldURi = jQuery(this).find(“.item_uri”).find(“.custom_uri_container”).find(“.custom_uri”).val();
mynewURi= oldURi.replace(“myslug-en”, “myslug-fr”);
jQuery(this).find(“.item_uri”).find(“.custom_uri_container”).find(“.custom_uri”).val(mynewURi);
}
}); //each
} //function
</script>’;
