[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] P2P WPML = problem when connecting posts

I am also having the exact same issue with Post 2 Post and WPML. Thought I would give this issue a bump, and check if you have found a solution before I go into the post2post plugin and start doing hack surgery.

The key issue seems to be: if the post is an EN post it should only show available connections in the EN language. Maybe place a switch when registering the connection…

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

We can work on this together with the author of the P2P plugin.

If you’re listening, contact us and I’ll create an account for you on WPML.org, so that you can access the recent versions.

@amirhelzer: Sounds like a plan! I will write scribu direct and let him know (in case he missed this thread). Thanks for your quick response and willingness to help.

Hi Baden, unfortunately I’ve ended up with dirty hacks. But it works ??

It would be great if P2P becomes compatible with WMPL (or the other way around) in future releases.

I do not have time to learn the internals of the WPML plugin, but I am willing to add actions and filters to P2P, as necessary.

@scribu, AmirHelzer is willing to help with the filters and actions needed for WPML integration. If you would be willing to add me as a contributor to your plugin, I would be very happy to work with Amir and fork a version of Posts 2 Posts that works with WPML sites. All changes would be documented, so that you could easily include them in your next release if you like. What do you think?

@baden: I recommend you fork it on github:

https://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/

Advantages:

1) You don’t need permission from anyone; just a free github account.

2) I can easily see what you’re doing and just as easily merge your changes.

If you don’t know how to use git yet, learn. It’s worth it. ??

@scribu: Thanks for the tip. I’ll do exactly that. Again, thanks for the amazingly useful plugin, it is by far one of the more useful ones out there.

github, here I come.

Check out our new p2p-wpml plugin, it should solve most of the integration issues you reported. Hope that helps, bye!
