Simple hack to add WPML support

Hi, if someone’s interested, that’s how you can add WPML support to Post Type Switcher V1.7.0. That’s the version I used for it, probably other versions will require some adaptation..

So..

1. Open the main plugin PHP file (post-type-switcher.php).
2. Replace these lines:

// Set the new post type.
set_post_type( $post_id, $post_type_object->name );

With this ones:

global $wpdb, $sitepress;

include_once( WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/sitepress-multilingual-cms/inc/wpml-api.php' );

$post_trid = wpml_get_content_trid( 'post_' . $post_type, $post_id );
$translations = $sitepress->get_element_translations( $post_trid );

if( is_array( $translations ) && !empty( $translations ) ){

	foreach( $translations as $translation ){

		$elem_id = $translation->element_id;

		// Set the new post type.
		set_post_type( $elem_id, $post_type_object->name );

		if( function_exists('icl_object_id') ){

			$wpdb->update(
				$wpdb->prefix . 'icl_translations',
				array( 'element_type' => 'post_' . $post_type_object->name,	),
				array( 'element_id' => $elem_id, 'element_type' => 'post_' . $post->post_type )
			);

			$wpdb->print_error();
		}

	}

}

Now when you change a post type of some post, all translations will be changed also.

Hope it helps someone.

TO THE AUTHOR – Why don’t you add it in one of your next releases? It’s so simple and so useful.

Have fun!
