mqTranslate and Black Studio Tiny MCE update

This is due to a bug in mqTranslate.
You should modify the file mqtranslate_javascript.php and change this code (around line 243):

for (var i in tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit) {
	var tmp = tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit[i];
	tmp.id = 'qtrans_textarea_'+tmp.id;
	tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit[tmp.id] = tmp;
	delete tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit[i];
	jQuery('#ed_toolbar').hide();
}

to this

var tmp = tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit['content'];
tmp.id = 'qtrans_textarea_'+tmp.id;
tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit[tmp.id] = tmp;
delete tinyMCEPreInit.qtInit['content'];
jQuery('#ed_toolbar').hide();

Thank you Marco,

Can I post the code to the author’s plugin so he can make a new version?
I’m not a developer hence I don’t like to put hands in a plugin.

I alread posted a reply in mqTranslate support forum pointing here.

You are rock Marco…in our fields we are very similar, I don’t sleep over an issue.
Thanks, I wish he will solve the problem soon.

Tomorrow I try to make the fix you suggested because so far the plugin author hasn’t provided the update.

I’ll tell you the result
Thanks!

Hi Guys,

There is a github repo for updates if you wish to contribute code.
https://github.com/xhaleera/mqtranslate

Hi leslierad,
good, I’ll send a pull request there.

A pull request was sent here.

I tried your fix but it doesn’t work , nothing change in the backend the problem of switching from visual to text still persists.

Waiting for some other solution in the while I disabled your plugin in the multilingual site

I posted a follow-up in mqTranslate forum. Let’s continue there as it’s not strictly related to BSTW and moreover this topic is resolved.

Well,
maybe do you think isn’t related to your plugin but by the end it’s BSTW not working correctly with mqTranslate because deactivating it anything works correctly.
How, I don’t have found any update from mqTranslate and your latest version doesn’t solve this issue I have to keep your plugin deactivated. Sorry, but I cannot use it in the multilingual site.

Hi,
I didn’t mean that it’s totally unrelated to BSTW. There’s a conflict between the two plugins, but the fix has to be made on the mqTranslate side, because it’s interfering with stuff provided by BSTW (and not viceversa) due to unconventional coding approach used by them. This could affect other plugins too.
By the way the patch I provided for mqTranslate works fine for me.

Well, it means that I have to put hands in a plugin code?

This is out of my policy and besides if I succeed to make it working I have to repeat each plugin updating.

No problem, If no news comes from other side I let it deactivated instead of risking to block my site. I’m not a developer at all.

Thanks for your precious support, indeed.

It’s not a good idea to modify a plugin’s source code, but sometimes it may be a feasible temporary solution to fix a problem while waiting for an official update. By the way, since the original qTranslate plugin was abandoned, mqTranslate is not the only fork coming after it: there’s also qTranslate Plus and maybe some other.

By the way, I don’t like the qTranslate-flavored approach for multilingual sites. I prefer WPML for multilingual sites, but if you want to stay with a free plugin, I would recommend Polylang or Ceceppa.
