get_translations sorting

  • I looked and did not see any topics that covered this.

    I am using $api->get_translations($translations_args) that I’ve found in some of your documentation in order to build a custom language selector that will work with a custom theme.

    All is going well, but I cannot find anything on sorting what is returned in any of the documents that I’ve found.

    Are there any parameters that I can include in $translations_args that will return the translations in a specific order or do I need to figure out how to order them after I get the list?

    Hi John,

    There are not sorting paramenter in translation arguments, however you can use standard PHP array functions to manipulate the result, for example array_reverse:

    $items = array_reverse( mlp_custom_get_language_items() );

    /**
 * Get language items.
 *
 * @return array|void
 */
function mlp_custom_get_language_items() {

	$api = apply_filters( 'mlp_language_api', NULL );
	if ( ! is_a( $api, 'Mlp_Language_Api_Interface' ) ) {
		return;
	}

	/**
	 * @type int    $site_id      Base site
	 * @type int    $content_id   post or term_taxonomy ID, *not* term ID
	 * @type string $type         @see Mlp_Language_Api::get_request_type()
	 * @type bool   $strict       When TRUE (default) only matching exact
	 *                                 translations will be included
	 * @type string $search_term  If you want to translate a search
	 * @type string $post_type    For post type archives
	 * @type bool   $include_base Include the base site in returned list
	 */
	$translations_args = array(
		'strict'       => FALSE,
		'include_base' => TRUE,
	);
	$translations      = $api->get_translations( $translations_args );
	if ( empty( $translations ) ) {
		return;
	}

	$items = array();
	/** @var Mlp_Translation_Interface $translation */
	foreach ( $translations as $site_id => $translation ) {

		$url = $translation->get_remote_url();
		if ( empty( $url ) ) {
			continue;
		}

		$language = $translation->get_language();
		$active   = FALSE;
		if ( get_current_blog_id() === $site_id ) {
			$active = TRUE;
		}

		$items[ $site_id ] = array(
			'url'    => $url,
			'http'   => $language->get_name( 'http' ),
			'name'   => $language->get_name( 'native' ),
			'active' => $active,
		);
	}

	return $items;
}

    Thanks,
    Emili

    Thanks, that’s all I needed to know. I don’t have a problem building something to sort the but I didn’t want to build something if it already existed.
