I'm using wordpress with qTranslate and a custom theme. The theme brings along a autocomplete search. My problem is that the post/page titles aren't translated. I checked stackoverflow/google and there seems to be a problem with AJAX requests and qTranslate. That's why I added to the url parameter of my php file the following:
?lang='.qtrans_getLanguage()
I checked the console and the parameter is passed correctly (for each language) to the javascript file. What I need now is to read this url parameter and give it back to my php file (I tested the js file with adding lang=en
to the url when using $.getJSON
and it worked but I need the passed language).
PHP
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'myprefix_autocomplete_init' );
function myprefix_autocomplete_init() {
// Register our jQuery UI style and our custom javascript file
wp_register_script( 'my_acsearch', get_template_directory_uri() . '/nectar/assets/functions/ajax-search/wpss-search-suggest.js?lang='.qtrans_getLanguage(), array('jquery','jquery-ui-autocomplete'),null,true);
wp_localize_script( 'my_acsearch', 'MyAcSearch', array('url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )));
// Function to fire whenever search form is displayed
add_action( 'get_search_form', 'myprefix_autocomplete_search_form' );
// Functions to deal with the AJAX request - one for logged in users, the other for non-logged in users.
add_action( 'wp_ajax_myprefix_autocompletesearch', 'myprefix_autocomplete_suggestions' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_myprefix_autocompletesearch', 'myprefix_autocomplete_suggestions' );
}
function myprefix_autocomplete_search_form(){
wp_enqueue_script( 'my_acsearch' );
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_{action}', 'my_hooked_function' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_{action}', 'my_hooked_function' );

JS
jQuery(document).ready(function ($){
var acs_action = 'myprefix_autocompletesearch';
$("#s").autocomplete({
delay: 50,
position: {of: "#search-outer #search .container" },
appendTo: $("#search-box"),
source: function(req, response){
$.getJSON(MyAcSearch.url+'?callback=?&action='+acs_action, req, response);
},
select: function(event, ui) {
window.location.href=ui.item.link;
},
minLength: 2,
}).data( "ui-autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
return $( "<li>" )
.append( "<a>" + item.image + "<span class='title'>" + item.label + "</span><br/><span class='desc'>" + item.post_type + "</span> </a>" )
.appendTo( ul );
};
});
I hope someone can help me with this
