Multilanguage popup/modal plugin

    I’m looking for a compatible plugin that generates popups modal dialog windows.

    I tried “Popup Maker”, but it’s not supported.
    I tried “Popups – WordPress Popup” but it keeps on updating the translation to one another — i.e. I edit the LANG1 version and the LANG2 version is updated aswell.

    Any hints or pointers on how to fix/integrate either of them or, better, a plugin that would work out of the box?

  • @enis – What issues did you run into with Popup Maker? I am the dev and we have users with multilanguage popups using several different translation plugins. WPML, qTranslate etc. It may just need some adjustments to fully work with Polylang since we haven’t officially tested compatibility.

    @danieliser, there’s no interface for creating and linking the popups’ translated versions.

    @enis – Likely this needs to be enabled for popups as its a custom post type. It may require adding a filter or enabling it via Polylang settings to support extra CPT’s.

    That would be my guess.

    If they chime in and its something we can add to Popup Maker, I would be glad to add it to the list for v1.3 coming up.

    @danieliser, I went through my whole polylang configuration and I couldn’t find anything such as “enable for custom post type” or anything like that.

    Therefore i went ahead and checked the database. For what I briefly gathered, in the wp_postmeta table, there’s no “lang_en” or “lang_XX” entry for the popup posts, nor do I see the usual polylang interface on the popup maker backend.

    I’m not sure whether is a popup maker issue or a polylang issue, but if you, polylang developers or anyone else could look into that, I’d be very grateful

    @enis – hoping a polylang author can weigh in here. My assumption would be that they would have some means of selecting what gets translated. IE some post types aren’t public so wouldn’t want any translation info for those.

    I hope a polylang author can weigh in, too, either to help us fix this matter or suggest a viable alternative.

    Hi
    You can use the function pll_get_post_types.

    Thanks a lot, @chrystl: using pll_get_post_types partially solved the problem and that’s already a viable workaround.

    However, there was just one little glitch to be ironed out: I needed to exclude the post meta “popup_title” on the synced metas.

    Thank you very much to you both ??

    I needed to exclude the post meta “popup_title” on the synced metas.

    You can do that with pll_copy_post_metas

    @chrystl that’s what I did. Thanks again ??
