[Plugin: Polylang] Autosave reset to default language

    Hi Chouby,
    thanks for the fantastic plugin, it’s working great for me so far.

    I believe i found a small bug. Here is what I’m doing to replicate it:
    (I’m working on a site using 2 languages, fresh install)
    I create a post in the default language, publish it and then I translate it in the other language and publish that too.
    After I’ve saved the translation I leave the edit post tab open while I check on another tab if everything’s working fine, which it does. My template file filter the posts by language with a simple query.
    I wait a few minutes and then, when the autosave kicks in in the edit post tab, I found both my post and its translation when my template filters by the default language and nothing when It filters by the other language.
    In the edit post tab everything looks ok at first, but if I reload the page the post’s language is being reset to the default language.

    All the above applies to posts, pages and custom-post-type articles.

    I hope this can help. Keep up the great work.

    Filippo

    Thank you for this very well documented bug report. I have a quick fix which seems to solve the issue. Tell me if it’s ok for you too.

    Edit the file include/post-metabox.php and replace the line 7:

    <select name="post_lang_choice" id="post_lang_choice"><?php

    by :

    <select name="post_lang_choice" id="post_lang_choice" class="tags-input"><?php

    It seems that it is a bad regression that I introduced during the development of v0.4. I can’t figure out why I did modify this line.

    Yeah, that happens ??
    Thanks Chouby, now it works perfectly.

    The plugin is pretty much unusable without this fix! Why didn’t you implement it when you updated the plugin?

    Sorry. But I did not make any release since the bug was discovered in 0.6.1. Moreover the quick fix posted here does not solve everything. So I had to work more on it. The complete fix (I hope) is included in the current development version of v0.7 (please read this).

    Since up to now, only one person was complaining about the bug, I did not believe it was worth spending time to make an intermediate release before 0.7.

    Whoops, I thought this error was going on for a while, I didn’t see the dates, my bad ?? Excellent plugin, by the way ??
