[Plugin: Feature Slideshow] Qtranslate descriptions not translated?

    Hi,

    I’m building a site for a client and it was requested the site was bilingual so I used qTranslate to set it up.

    Feature Slideshow is on the main page showing sub-pages from a particular parent and is correctly grabbing the titles (also the translated ones) but when I use the shorttags ([:en] and [:nl]) in the description area for a page it just copies them to the description on the slideshow.

    I also used normal tags (<!–:en–><!–:–>) and that also didn’t work.

    Can anyone help?

    Cheers,
    Paula

    Maybe this page can help you:

    sorry, I’m to new to PHP to understand what they’re saying there…

    Okay, so I fixed it myself.

    I defined this function in future-slideshow.php:

    function cut_content_fat($text, $chars, $points = "...") {
	$length = strlen($text);
	if($length <= $chars) {
		return $text;
	} else {
		return substr($text, 0, $chars)." ".$points;
	}
}

    Then, in feature_slideshow_body.php I found this:

    <span>' . $metadata['feature_slideshow_description'][0] . '</span>

    and replaced it with:

    <span>' . cut_content_fat($excerpt, 80, "...") . '</span>

    I defined $excerpt:

    $excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
    (I put this just a little above $return = in the future-slideshow.php file)

    Hope this helps people.
