Hi,
today I needed to get the current language w/o the flag.
But the function pll_current_language() returns only the localization.
Because of this I added a new pll-function which returns the language name w/o the flag.
Possible arguments are: echo, show_flag, show_name, link, display_name_as
All arguments except link work as same as in pll_the_languages.
The argument link returns the current language as link or not.
You can now call <?php echo pll_current_language2(array('show_flag' => 1)); ?> to get the current language name and the corresponding flag
Add this to the include/core.php:
// displays (or returns) the language switcher
function current_language2($args = '') {
$defaults = array(
'echo' => 0, // don't echoes the output
'link' => 0, // don't get as link
'show_flag' => 0, // don't show flags
'show_name' => 1, // show language names
'display_name_as' => 'name', // valid options are slug and name
);
extract(wp_parse_args($args, $defaults));
$output = '';
foreach ($this->get_languages_list(false) as $language) {
// continue if not current language
if ($this->curlang->term_id != $language->term_id) {
continue;
}
$url = $force_home ? null : $this->get_translation_url($language);
$url = apply_filters('pll_the_language_link', $url, $language->slug, $language->description);
$url = isset($url) ? $url : $this->get_home_url($language); // if the page is not translated, link to the home page
$flag = $show_flag ? $this->get_flag($language) : '';
$name = $show_name || !$show_flag ? esc_html($display_name_as == 'slug' ? $language->slug : $language->name) : '';
if($link == 1) {
$output .= sprintf("<a hreflang='%s' href='%s'>%s</a>",
esc_attr($language->slug), esc_url($url), $show_flag && $show_name ? $flag.' '.$name : $flag.$name);
}
else {
$output .= sprintf("%s",
$show_flag && $show_name ? $flag.' '.$name : $flag.$name);
}
}
if(!$echo)
return $output;
echo $output;
}Add this to the include/api.php:
// returns the current language
function pll_current_language2($args = '') {
global $polylang;
return isset($polylang) ? $polylang->current_language2($args) : false;
}Maybe this will help someone ;-)
