Get custom fields from main WPML language for other languages WordPress
- SOLVED
Hi,
We are developing a website for a client in which there are references available. It's a multi-language website with the following languages: NL, FR & EN in which we use the WPML plugin. The main language is NL.
Here is the link with an example: http://www.aspbluesquare.be/category/referenties/
The following fields are custom:
- date
- location
- client
- project_manager_client
-project_manager_aspbs
- website_url
- photographer
Now we have to enter the reference with the custom fields first in the main language (NL in this case). Then we have to do it twice again for the FR and EN version. The content is always the same.
So we are looking for a way to display the custom fields of the NL version on the front-end version of de FR & EN version.
If you have any question don't hesitate to give a yell.

Try this:
// Get the post ID (in this case the english one)
$o_ID = icl_object_id($post->ID, 'post', false, 'en');
// Now get the custom fields
$date_en = get_post_meta($o_ID, 'date', true);
$location_en = get_post_meta($o_ID, 'location', true);
$client_en = get_post_meta($o_ID, 'client', true);

Nopes, does not work.
I tried it with the date:
NL: http://www.aspbluesquare.be/referenties/beurzen/ondernemen-2008/
EN: http://www.aspbluesquare.be/en/references-en/ondernemenentreprendre-2008/
The code i used on the single page of the EN version:
<div class="info"><?php $o_ID = icl_object_id($post->ID, 'post', false, 'en');
// Now get the custom fields
$date_en = get_post_meta($o_ID, 'date', true); ?></div>
Thanks for the quick response.

Hi,
Is there also a way to get the featured image?
Peter Michael comments:
Is $post global? Did you global $post; somewhere? I.E:
global $post;
$o_ID = icl_object_id($post->ID, 'post', false, 'en');
