retrieving wmpl posts

I’m not really familiar with WPML, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to help.

However, it looks like the plugin you installed allows you to add a specific WP API query parameter, lang, to get posts in a specific language. If that plugin works well, you could add a new lang parameter to my shortcode by adding the following to your theme’s functions.php, or to a functionality plugin:

hi jeremy,

thank you very much for that fast response and possible solution^^

but i can`t get it to work

i added your code into my functions.php and added the shortcode into my page
[jeherve_post_embed url=”https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de/” wpapi=”true” ?number=”1″ lang=”en”]

i hope i did it the right way

here the url of the stage site with the feed…it shows the german post instead of the english
https://industrial.directdesign-ffm.de/en/

there are 3 german and 1 english posts on that draft blogsite

when i call
https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de/wp-json/wp/v2/posts

i get the 3 german posts as json

when i call
https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?lang=en

i get only the one english post (as wanted)

what might be wrong?

Thanks for the examples. I think it could be because the plugin doesn’t use the same standard as the core query parameters. I’ve updated the code snippet in my post to take that into account. Let me know how it goes.

YOU`RE A GENIUS!!

works great^^
thank you very much

now that i can retrieve the posts from the proper language..i would like to define also the right language “source:” link at the bottom

i looked at your filter code and difined a new attribute

function jeherve_rest_api_embeds_urlsource( $out, $pairs, $atts, $shortcode ) {

if ( isset( $atts[‘source’] ) && ” != $atts[‘source’] ) {
$out[‘source’] = $atts[‘source’];
}

return $out;
}

add_filter( ‘shortcode_atts_jeherve_post_embed’, ‘jeherve_rest_api_embeds_urlsource’, 10, 4 );

it works but i had to modify the core code:( as i don`t know how to achieve this by hooking

i added also a target=”_blank” to the link…as the site owner wants to open all external links in a blank window

$credits .= sprintf(
_x( ‘Source: %1$s‘, ‘Site URL’, ‘rest-api-post-embeds’ ),
$atts[‘source’]
);

it would be also a great feature to have the target of the permalinks as attributes… only as a feature suggestion^^

your plugin is great

cheers

works great with

function jeherve_rest_api_embeds_target( $out, $pairs, $atts, $shortcode ) {

if ( isset( $atts[‘target’] ) && ” != $atts[‘target’] ) {
$out[‘target’] = $atts[‘target’];
}

return $out;
}

add_filter( ‘shortcode_atts_jeherve_post_embed’, ‘jeherve_rest_api_embeds_target’, 10, 4 );

and

$credits .= sprintf(
_x( ‘Source: %1$s‘, ‘Site URL’, ‘rest-api-post-embeds’ ),
$atts[‘source’]
);

could be a nice additional option to take the 2 new parameters into the core^^

cheers

ups..the code is cutted..hehe…i set the target to target=”‘.$atts[‘target’].

Instead of creating new shortcode attributes, I’d suggest the following:

1. Remove the existing credits thanks to the existing include_credits attribute, like so:
   [jeherve_post_embed url="https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de/" wpapi="true" number="1" lang="en" include_credits="false"]
2. Create a new function, hooked into the jeherve_post_embed_post_loop, to output a custom credit line including the language parameter, and with links opening in a new window, like so:

   /**
    * Custom credits HTML output.
    *
    * @param string  $loop            Post loop.
    * @param array   $posts_info      Array of data about our posts.
    * @param int     $number_of_posts Number of posts we want to display.
    * @param array   $atts            Array of shortcode attributes.
    *
    * @return string $str             Credits HTML output.
    */
   function jeherve_new_credits( $loop, $posts_info, $number_of_posts, $atts ) {
   	if ( isset( $atts['url'], $atts['lang'] ) ) {
   		$credits = '<div class="jeherve-post-embeds-credits">';
   		$credits .= sprintf(
   			_x( 'Source: <a target="_blank" class="jeherve-post-embeds-credit-link" href="https://%1$s/%2$s">%1$s/%2$s</a>', 'Site URL', 'rest-api-post-embeds' ),
   			$atts['url'],
   			$atts['lang']
   		);
   		$credits .= '</div>';
   		return $loop . $credits;
   	}
   	return $loop;
   }
   add_filter( 'jeherve_post_embed_post_loop', 'jeherve_new_credits', 98, 4 );

ah, that`s cool…works:)

but i forgot to mention that i have to open all blog permalinks in a blank window….also the custom post links…so i did the same with the title and featured image in the core code

'<h4 class="post-embed-post-title"><a href="%1$s" target="'.$atts['target'].'">%2$s</a></h4>'
			'<div class="post-embed-post-thumbnail"><a title="%1$s" href="%2$s" target="'.$atts['target'].'"><img src="%3$s" alt="%1$s"/></a></div>'

therefore i thought it would be great to have a target attribute…maybe there`s also a cool hook solution for that

but thank you very much for your help^^

i found a little bug in your last solution

my main blog domain (in german) is https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de (without language add)

your hook works only if there`s a lang attribute

if i ad an lang=”de” to the shortcode then the source link gets https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de/de , which doesn`t work anymore (404)
removing include_credits=”false” and lang shows only “source:”

maybe less work for you to modify the core files with the 2 features: attributes for target and custom credit link^^..i mean, just now it`s something that i need..but i can imagine that these features could be also intersting for other users^^

therefore i thought it would be great to have a target attribute

I would rather not add that option. I don’t believe changing the browser’s default behaviour and open links in a new window is the right thing to do for the users here. You can read more about this here:
https://css-tricks.com/use-target_blank/

However, if you still would like to add target blank links to specific links on your site, you can use jQuery. Here is a quick example:
https://gist.github.com/allybee/5871749

if i ad an lang=”de” to the shortcode then the source link gets https://ipblog.directdesign-ffm.de/de , which doesn’t work anymore (404)

To solve this issue, you can update the jeherve_new_credits() function I posted above, and change the value of $atts['lang'] to an empty string if its original value was de:

if ( 'de' === $atts['lang'] ) {
    $atts['lang'] = '';
}

thank you:))
