assign_to short code

I’m using polylang.
The point is that the review itself is about the same product/service, no matters the language is writen with. So I want that each product/service show the reviews aggregation of both languages.

For instance:

• Product A in language 1: 3 reviews
• Product A in language 2: 5 reviews

The review summary of product A should be about 8 reviews.

This could be done through the “assign_to” parameter of “site_reviews_form” shortode. If only could be assigned to both IDs.

Talking about polylang plugin, the function “pll_get_post($post_id, $slug)” could be used to get IDs of each product A languages:

• In language 1: $ID_prod_a_lang1 = pll_get_post(product_a_id, 'language-1')
• And in language 2: $ID_prod_a_lang2 = pll_get_post(product_a_id, 'language-2')

It could be great if the shortcode [site_reviews_form], could be used as follows:
echo so_shortcode('[site_reviews_form assign_to="'.$ID_prod_a_lang1.','.$ID_prod_a_lang2.'"]');
As the “Get Help” > “Shortcodes” suggests in the text:

The “assign_to” attribute allows you to automatically assign submitted reviews to a post or page. Accepted values are either one or more post/page ID’s (separated by commas), or “post_id” which will assign reviews to the ID of the current page.

I have two languages.

If I do as stated by you creating two categories (one for each language), and assigned on [site_reviews_form], and getted by [site_reviews_summary], then every [site_reviews_summary] retrieve the information for the whole language, which includes the reviews of all products, posts and pages of that category.

And I need to keep each review withs its product. This can be done easyly thorugh “assign_to” and “assigned_to” parameters.
The point is that thouse parameters only allow one post.

Returning to the origins of my post: the (for instance) product A is the same, regardless of the language.
So it has sense to summarize all of its reviews regardless the language.
And that’s why I’d like to aggregate all reviews of product A, never mind if they are written on language 1 or language2.

I agree that this can be done though categories: creating a category for each product (cat_prodA, for instance) and on the product [site_reviews_form] of both languages assign to that “cat_prodA” to retrieve it on [site_reviews_summary] of any language.

But, instead of assign the review to one category for each product, it’s much easyer to assign the review to both posts languages IDs, as then, there is no need of create anything.
(Again…) The problem is that the plugin only allows to assign a review to a single post.

And that’s what I’m proposing you to improve: allow to assign the review to an array of posts.

Thank you, I hope the code mentioned above be of some use:

• Product A ID, In language 1: $ID_prod_a_lang1 = pll_get_post(product_a_id, 'language-1')
• Product A ID, in language 2: $ID_prod_a_lang2 = pll_get_post(product_a_id, 'language-2')
