[Plugin: Easy Digital Downloads] checkout url on multilingual site

Piet,

The part that you changed is specific to the add to cart buttons, and will not affect the ‘Checkout’ link shown in the cart widget or anywhere else.

Take a look at edd_get_checkout_uri() in cart-functions.php and try changing it there.

The edd_get_checkout_uri() is the function used globally for retrieving the URL of the checkout page, so that is where you will probably want to change it.

Does that help?

Hi Pippin,
Thanks for your reply.
I suppose I could change it there, but once your plugin receives an update those changes will be lost.
Is there a way to conserve those changes for the future?

Change it to what is shown here: https://github.com/pippinsplugins/Easy-Digital-Downloads/blob/master/includes/cart-functions.php#L419

Then make your changes via a filter. Are you familiar with filters?

ok, I assume that will be the same in the next update then?

didn’t you just post an article on tutsplus about “Writing Extensible Plugins With Actions and Filters“?

Would it be sth like this?

function pb_modify_checkout_uri( $uri ) {
    $uri = icl_object_id( 4, 'page', true);
    return $uri;
}
add_filter( 'edd_get_checkout_uri', 'pb_modify_checkout_uri' );

And I probably will have to add such a filter for both this link as well as the purchase confirmation link, correct?

thanks.

the above code also needs the get_permalink() part, so the actual code becomes:

// Add filter to Easy Digital Downloads plugin to internationalize purchase page string
function pb_modify_checkout_uri( $uri ) {
    $uri = get_permalink( icl_object_id( 4, 'page', true) );
    return $uri;
}
add_filter( 'edd_get_checkout_uri', 'pb_modify_checkout_uri' );

where 4 is the purchase page of the default language

I have also added a filter to the edd_success_page_redirect:

// Add filter to Easy Digital Downloads plugin to internationalize success page string
function pb_modify_success_redirect( $redirect ) {
	$redirect = get_permalink( icl_object_id( 863, 'page', true) );
	return $redirect;
}
add_filter( 'edd_success_page_redirect', 'pb_modify_success_redirect' );

where 863 is the success page of the default language

Do I need to add more of these filters or will these two suffice?

Yes I did just post that article ??

Your last two filters look great.

cool, thanks so much for the support!

David from WPML has been looking into this, and this is what he had to say:

All this shouldn’t be necesary if you enable ‘Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality’ in WPML -> Languages. This is enabled by default

I don’t agree with this. I always leave that default option on, but without the filters I am unable to make it work.

Having not used WPML personally, I cannot attest to what David said, simply that that is what he told me.

Yes, I understand that Pippin. I will email him directly.
