WP Jobmanager bookmark in other language empty

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The client is developing a site using WPML with WP Job Manager and is facing an issue where bookmarks set in one language do not appear when switching to another language.

Solution:
We recommend the following steps after ensuring a full site backup:

1) Navigate to

/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks

and open

wp-job-manager-bookmarks.php

for editing.
2) Modify the code at line 356 and line 407 to include WPML filters that handle translations of bookmarked posts. This ensures that when a post is bookmarked in one language, it is recognized across all translations.

3) To prevent duplicate bookmark entries appearing for each language on the bookmark page, modify the

my-bookmarks.php

file in the

/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks/templates/

directory. Update the loop handling the display of bookmarks to check the language code of the bookmark against the current language and only display bookmarks that match.

Please refer to the following thread for more details.

ericH-23	Hi, Thanks, I installed the bookmark plugin but cannot translate the bookmark page, because automatic translation is started but cannot go further. Can you please add the translation of the bookmark page? Thanks, kind regards Eric

ericH-23	Hi, Thanks, ok, I added now the bookmark plugin and made this: - take a test job in EN - bookmarked the job in EN (see enclosed image) hidden link - change to FR - the job have no bookmark in FR (see enclosed image) hidden link Because it is not another job and only a translation, the bookmark should be shown also in the translations, that is unfortunately not the case. Please check. Thanks, kind regards Eric

Bigul Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Vienna (GMT+01:00)	Hi Eric, Sorry for the late response. The fix for this issue was a bit complicated. Finally, our compatibility team found a workaround for this. Please try the following fix after a full site backup {mandatory} and make sure you are getting the expected results or not. 1) Visit /wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks folder 2) Open wp-job-manager-bookmarks.php file for edit 3) Scroll down to line 356 4) Make the following changes From if ( $post_id && in_array( get_post_type( $post_id ), array( 'job_listing', 'resume' ) ) ) { if ( ! $this->is_bookmarked( $post_id ) ) { $wpdb->insert( "{$wpdb->prefix}job_manager_bookmarks", array( 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), 'post_id' => $post_id, 'bookmark_note' => $note, 'date_created' => current_time( 'mysql' ), ) ); } else { $wpdb->update( "{$wpdb->prefix}job_manager_bookmarks", array( 'bookmark_note' => $note, ), array( 'post_id' => $post_id, 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), ) ); } delete_transient( 'bookmark_count_' . $post_id ); $action_data = array( 'success' => true, 'note' => $note, ); } To if ( $post_id && in_array( get_post_type( $post_id ), array( 'job_listing', 'resume' ) ) ) { // WPML Workaround for compsupp- $type = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_type', get_post_type( $post_id ) ); $trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $post_id, $type ); $translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, $type ); foreach ( $translations as $translation ) { if ( isset( $translation->element_id ) ) { $post_id = $translation->element_id; } if ( ! $this->is_bookmarked( $post_id ) ) { $wpdb->insert( "{$wpdb->prefix}job_manager_bookmarks", array( 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), 'post_id' => $post_id, 'bookmark_note' => $note, 'date_created' => current_time( 'mysql' ), ) ); } else { $wpdb->update( "{$wpdb->prefix}job_manager_bookmarks", array( 'bookmark_note' => $note, ), array( 'post_id' => $post_id, 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), ) ); } delete_transient( 'bookmark_count_' . $post_id ); $action_data = array( 'success' => true, 'note' => $note, ); } } 5) Scroll down to line 407 6) Make the following changes From $post_id = absint( $_GET['remove_bookmark'] ); $wpdb->delete( "{$wpdb->prefix}job_manager_bookmarks", array( 'post_id' => $post_id, 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), ) ); delete_transient( 'bookmark_count_' . $post_id ); $action_data = array( 'success' => true ); To $post_id = absint( $_GET['remove_bookmark'] ); // WPML Workaround for compsupp- $type = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_type', get_post_type( $post_id ) ); $trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $post_id, $type ); $translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, $type ); foreach ( $translations as $translation ) { if ( isset( $translation->element_id ) ) { $post_id = $translation->element_id; } $wpdb->delete( "{$wpdb->prefix}job_manager_bookmarks", array( 'post_id' => $post_id, 'user_id' => get_current_user_id(), ) ); delete_transient( 'bookmark_count_' . $post_id ); $action_data = array( 'success' => true ); } These codes will help us to bookmark and unbookmark a post in all languages. But this will cause duplicate entries on the bookmark page — one for each language. To resolve this, we recommend modifying the template to ensure bookmarks function as expected. 1) Visit /wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-bookmarks/templates/ folder 2) Open my-bookmarks.php file for edit 3) Scroll down to line 27 4) Make the following changes From <?php foreach ( $bookmarks as $bookmark ) : ?> To <?php foreach ( $bookmarks as $bookmark ) : // WPML $current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL ); $post_id = $bookmark->post_id; $bookmark_language_code = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_language_code', NULL, array('element_id' => $post_id, 'element_type' => 'job_listing' ) ); if ( $bookmark_language_code != $current_lang ) { continue; } ?> -- Thanks!
