ACF WPML admincolumns synchronize with inline editing
I have synchronized all of my custom ACF fields through WPML so that the selections in my primary language will be reflected in the second language.
When i started testing i noticed that inline editing will not synchronize the change of a field in the second language when changed and updated on the primary language. If i go into the post and actually change it the normal way, it works and whatever is selected in the primary language shows the same in the secondary language.
This is a bit of a problem as I purchased admin columns specifically for this reason, to edit in the index view of the posts, rather than going in and editing each post.
Is this a known issue ????
WPML does the syncing for you when you save a post (save_post function) but this is not happing when using inline edit. Then only save_post_meta() is called. To have inline edit work with the WPML syncing feature, you’ll have to trigger the save_post action when an inline-dit save actions is called.
We have an action for this: cacinline-editafter_ajax_column_save documented here
Look at the first example. The function would be something like
function my_cac_update_post_for_wpml_on_save( $column, $id, $value, $editable_model_object ) {
wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $id ) );
}
add_action( 'cac/inline-edit/after_ajax_column_save', 'my_cac_update_post_for_wpml_on_save', 10, 4 );
For those, like me, who come across this subject:
cac/inline-edit/after_ajax_column_save is deprecated. Replaced by acp/editing/saved.
function my_cac_update_post_for_wpml_on_save( $column, $id ) {
wp_update_post( array( 'ID' => $id ) );
}
add_action( 'acp/editing/saved', 'my_cac_update_post_for_wpml_on_save', 10,2 );
for those who have the exact problem, WPML have a method called wpml_sync_custom_field: https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_sync_custom_field/
wp_update_post will not do it, you can use the following codes
add_action ( 'acp/editing/saved', function ( AC\Column $column, $id, $value ) {
if ( $column instanceof ACA\ACF\Column && $column->get_post_type() === 'custom_post_name') {
do_action( 'wpml_sync_custom_field', $id, 'custom_field_name');
}
}, 10, 3 );EDIT (Correction): after double check wp_update_post do work
add_action ( 'acp/editing/saved', function ( AC\Column $column, $id, $value ) {
if ( $column instanceof ACA\ACF\Column && $column->get_post_type() === 'custom_post_name') {
wp_update_post( [ 'ID' => $id ] );
}
}, 10, 3 );
Hi all,
We came out with this problem and I found this topic, however, the function suggested is not working at our end.
Does anybody have the solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
