url_to_postid() with multisite

More information is needed.

Where are you running this call? Are you already ON the site? Where did you define $blog?

What is the FULL purpose of this code? Maybe we know something that’s already been done so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Hi Mika,

My Network is a multilingual multisite-installation.

In header.php I call the get_additional_flags_trad () function of functions.php file.

This function allows me to add an additional flag to my flags list already displayed.

During the display of these flags as soon as I arrive at the Canadian flag (which refers to the English translation), I called get_additional_flags_trad () to display another Canadian flag which refers to the French translation.

To display the French translation url, I have to know the English translation id.

My problem is that, I don’t have this id (En) I only have url
So I wish to use url_to_postid ().

My Canadian blog is the blog # 18, when I display Canadian flags I’m not on this blog (18).

That’s why I try to use the url_to_postid () preceded by a switch_to_blog (18);

$blog is defined by a switch :

switch ($sous_dom_link)
{
  case "be": $blog ='3'; break;
  case "ch": $blog ='4'; break;
  case "ca": $blog ='18'; break;
}

get_additional_flags_trad isn’t a part of WordPress core.

I’m sorry but this is something WAY too complex to try to debug with the info we have.

ok thanks anyway Mika

came across the same issue while working on some functionality

If this may help someone

//convert the url to make sense to the target blog

global $current_blog;

$target_blog_details = get_blog_details($blog);

$url = str_replace($current_blog->path, $target_blog_details->path, $url);

//now the url will make sense to the target blog

switch_to_blog ($blog);

$id = url_to_postid($url);

restore_current_blog();

//this will work, provided that the translated url does have a corresponding post in the target blog
