Theme localization in a query... WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello,
I am localizing my theme up for translation strings.
Using generic... <h5><?php _e('Contact','mytheme'); ?></h5>
But I've got some query's that include text in the query itself.
Example...
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(array(
'orderby' => 'rating',
'order' => 'ASC',
'limit' => 10,
'category_name' => 'Our Friends',
'title_before' => '<h5>',
'title_after' => '</h5>',
'link_before' => '<span>»</span> '
) ); ?>
How do I localize the the 'Our friends' text?
I've tried this...
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(array(
'orderby' => 'rating',
'order' => 'ASC',
'limit' => 10,
'category_name' => . __('Our Friends', 'mytheme') .,
'title_before' => '<h5>',
'title_after' => '</h5>',
'link_before' => '<span>»</span> '
) ); ?>
But this does not work?
Any ideas...
Also while on i'm topic... I have the same problem with stuff in my functions...
function search_form_header( $form ) {
$form = '<form method="get" id="searchform-header" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" >
<div>
<input class="pie" type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input class="pie" type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'" />
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="' . __ (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) . '"/>
</div>
</form>';
return $form;
}
add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'search_form_header' );
If you look at... value="'. esc_attr__('Search') .'"
How do I localize this?
Thanks
Josh

Hi Josh,
Before executing this:
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(array(
'orderby' => 'rating',
'order' => 'ASC',
'limit' => 10,
'category_name' => . __('Our Friends', 'mytheme') .,
'title_before' => '<h5>',
'title_after' => '</h5>',
'link_before' => '<span>»</span> '
) ); ?>
You have to save value of category_name in a var and then call the query with this var.

Something like this:
$my_category_name = __('Our Friends', 'mytheme');
And then:
'category_name' => $my_category_name,

Hmmm... I'm not sure how to do this?
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
Josh,
You have to do: $my_category_name = __('Our Friends', 'mytheme');
Before calling:
wp_list_bookmarks
Francisco Javier Carazo Gil comments:
And into wp_list_bookmarks you have to use this:
'category_name' => $my_category_name,

First, you can use category ID instead of category name
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(array(
'orderby' => 'rating',
'order' => 'ASC',
'limit' => 10,
<strong> 'category' => "2", // the category ID of "Our friends"</strong>
'title_before' => '<h5>',
'title_after' => '</h5>',
'link_before' => '<span>»</span> '
) ); ?>
Second, just add the domain
function search_form_header( $form ) {
$form = '<form method="get" id="searchform-header" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" >
<div>
<input class="pie" type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input class="pie" type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="'. <strong>esc_attr__('Search', 'yourtheme')</strong> .'" />
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="' . __ (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) . '"/>
</div>
</form>';
return $form;
}
add_filter( 'get_search_form', 'search_form_header' );

You can use get_term_by, ti get the category ID
<?php
<strong>$ourfriends = get_term_by('slug', 'our-friends', 'category'); </strong>
wp_list_bookmarks(array(
'orderby' => 'rating',
'order' => 'ASC',
'limit' => 10,
'category' => $ourfriends->term_id, // the category ID of "Our friends"
'title_before' => '<h5>',
'title_after' => '</h5>',
'link_before' => '<span>»</span> '
) );
?>

Thanks Luis, the search worked...
How ever, on my other search form... it's not working....
See below value 'Search Downloads'
function search_form_download( $form ) {
$form = '<form method="get" id="searchform-download" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" >
<div>
<input type="text" value="' . __('Search Downloads','mytheme') . '" name="s" id="s-download" class="clearit" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="download" />
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="' . __ (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) . '"/>
</div>
</form>';
return $form;
}
Have I done it wrong? Thanks

Try to change the function to esc_attr__()
function search_form_download( $form ) {
$form = '<form method="get" id="searchform-download" action="' . home_url( '/' ) . '" >
<div>
<input type="text" value="' . <strong>esc_attr__('Search Downloads','mytheme')</strong> . '" name="s" id="s-download" class="clearit" />
<input type="hidden" name="post_type" value="download" />
<input type="hidden" name="lang" value="' . __ (ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE) . '"/>
</div>
</form>';
return $form;
}

No it worked the first time, it was WPML not registering new strings on browser refresh. Thanks for you help :-)
John Cotton answers:
Have you tried with that line reading:
'category_name' => __('Our Friends', 'mytheme'),
?
