how to display taxonomy slugs?

    Hey!

    This might be an easy thing, but I don’t seem to get it myself.

    I try to code the $taxonomy->slug into a selfmade plugin. But for some reason it’s taking the default slug it had, before I started using this plugin. In the navigation, where the taxonomy is as well, the slug is correct. So it must be possible 😀

    So far I tried the basics

    • $taxonomy->slug returns the old slug
    • qts_get_slug($taxonomy->term_id, ‘de’) returns nothing

    Do I have to delete all categories and redo them with the new multilingual slugs?

    Cheers

    Update:
    I deleted one of the categories (it’s a custom taxonomy btw) and redid it.

    Name de : 5 Endverankerung
    Slug de : Endverankerung

    Name fr : 5 Armatures d’ancrage
    Slug fr : Armatures d’ancrage

    Result from $taxonomy->slug in both languages: 5-endverankerung

    In the navigation the correct slugs are used.

    So, what can I do? 🙂

    Alright, I see the problem:

    When using qts_get_slug() the plugin code uses the WP-function get_post_meta() in class-qtranslate-slug.php line 629 while for taxonomies I would need get_term_meta().

    For anyone with the same issue, to get this working do something like this:

    // get the current active language
  $lang = qtrans_getLanguage();

  $args = array(
      'taxonomy'                 => 'your-taxonomy-name'
  );
  $taxonomies = get_categories($args);

  foreach ($taxonomies as $taxonomy) {

    $category_name = $taxonomy->name;
    $category_slug = get_term_meta($taxonomy->term_id, '_qts_slug_'.$lang);

    // do something with your variables here!
  }
