[Resolved] issue with translating shipping price from ali2woo plugin

Hi again,

I'll also help you with this issue.

We might be looking at a compatibility issue between WPML and the AliExpress Dropshipping Business plugin for WooCommerce by ma-group.

This plugin is not on our list of officially compatible plugins at the following link and is also not known to us.

https://wpml.org/plugin/

In such cases, we try to do our best to provide a fix or a workaround for the problem.

To proceed, we need to replicate this issue on a fresh WordPress installation. Then I'll be able to escalate it to our compatibility team. For this, I created a test website with a clean WordPress install. You can access it through this link:

With this link, you'll be directly logged in.

Could you please install the Dropshipping Business plugin for WooCommerce plugin and see if the issue is replicable on a clean WordPress installation?

Please configures WPML and WooCommerce the same as on your site (the basic configurations needed to replicate the issue are enough).

Please also make sure that you are installing the latest version of the plugin.

When everything is finished, and you can replicate the problem, please let us know.

Thanks,
Itamar.

Hi, and thanks for trying my suggestions.

Can you please send me the ali2woo plugin so I can continue investigating this issue?

You can upload the plugin to a service like Google Drive or Dropbox and share the link with me.
For this, I'll enable a private message for the following reply.

Hi,

Our second-tier supporter says that if the Ali2woo team wants to provide support on their side to the shipping prices, they can use this filter to convert the price:

https://wpml.org/wcml-hook/wcml_raw_price_amount/

And they can get the current currency on the front-end from:

https://wpml.org/wcml-hook/wcml_price_currency/

I will also escalate this issue to our compatibility team, and they will also try to help the author of the Ali2woo plugin on our side.

I'll update you here on any news regarding this issue.

Regards,
Itamar.

Hi,

Our second-tier supporter has debugged this issue and found a workaround to fix it. Here is what you need to do.

1. Take a backup of your site in case something goes wrong.

2. In the theme's functions.php file add this code:

add_filter( 'wcml_multi_currency_ajax_actions', 'add_action_to_multi_currency_ajax', 10, 1 );

function add_action_to_multi_currency_ajax( $ajax_actions ) {

	$ajax_actions[] = 'a2w_frontend_load_shipping_info'; // Add a AJAX action to the array
	return $ajax_actions;

}

3. In: wp-content/plugins/ali2woo/includes/classes/utils/A2W_Shipping.php
After the line:

                    $ship_price = A2W_ShippingPriceFormula::apply_formula($method, $local_values);

add these lines:

	        $current_currency = apply_filters('wcml_price_currency', NULL );
	        $ship_price = apply_filters( 'wcml_raw_price_amount', $ship_price, $current_currency );

4. In:wp-content/plugins/ali2woo/includes/classes/utils/A2W_Utils.php
After the line:

            if (!$has_shipping_method) {

add this line:

	            $current_currency = apply_filters('wcml_price_currency', NULL );

after the line:

 $price = isset($item['previewFreightAmount']['value']) ? $item['previewFreightAmount']['value'] : $item['freightAmount']['value'];

add this line:

$price = apply_filters( 'wcml_raw_price_amount', $price, $current_currency );

after the line:

$shipping_cost = isset($item['previewFreightAmount']['value']) ? $item['previewFreightAmount']['value'] : $item['freightAmount']['value'];

add this line:

$shipping_cost = apply_filters( 'wcml_raw_price_amount', $shipping_cost, $current_currency );

After adding and saving the above changes, the shipping prices will be according to the exchange rate set in WooCommerce Multilingual. We tried it on the test site here.

Please share this with the ali2woo support. Our developers will also try to contact them.

Nevertheless, please note that the workaround will probably not work with custom prices specified in the 2nd currency. That is true if it is possible to be set, as we are unsure where the shipping plugin sets those prices.

Itamar.
