[Waiting for user feedback] Translate a custom block with ACF attached

Hello,

Unfortunately, following the suggestions is not possible. The ACF do not show up in the Toolbox settings, so i cannot create the config file.
We added ACF via code, and according to ACF docs, fields added via code do not show up in the backend. But shouldn't find WPML them anyway?

Thanks,
regards

Hi Itamar,

Thank you for the late update and the information.

Waqas suggested to apply the information here https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/make-custom-gutenberg-blocks-translatable/ to my custom block, but i am not able to generate the config file in the first place.

The code of the relevant ACF would be this, and the issue is with the 'Items' field:
acf_add_local_field_group([
'key' => '...',
'title' => 'Block | Magical Journey',
'fields' => [
[
'key' => '...',
'label' => 'Title',
'name' => 'title',
'aria-label' => '',
'type' => 'text',
'instructions' => '',
'required' => 0,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => [
'width' => '',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
],
'wpml_cf_preferences' => 2,
'default_value' => 'Die magische Reise',
'maxlength' => '',
'allow_in_bindings' => 1,
'placeholder' => '',
'prepend' => '',
'append' => '',
],
[
'key' => '...',
'label' => 'Items',
'name' => 'items',
'aria-label' => '',
'type' => 'relationship',
'instructions' => '',
'required' => 1,
'conditional_logic' => 0,
'wrapper' => [
'width' => '',
'class' => '',
'id' => '',
],
'wpml_cf_preferences' => 2,
'post_type' => [
0 => 'page',
],
'post_status' => [
0 => 'publish',
],
'taxonomy' => '',
'filters' => [
0 => 'search',
1 => 'taxonomy',
],
'return_format' => 'id',
'min' => 4,
'max' => 9,
'allow_in_bindings' => 1,
'elements' => [
0 => 'featured_image',
],
'bidirectional' => 0,
'bidirectional_target' => [],
],
],
'location' => [
[
[
'param' => 'block',
'operator' => '==',
'value' => 'ttvie/magical-journey',
],
],
],
'menu_order' => 0,
'position' => 'normal',
'style' => 'default',
'label_placement' => 'top',
'instruction_placement' => 'label',
'hide_on_screen' => '',
'active' => true,
'description' => '',
'show_in_rest' => 0,
'acfml_field_group_mode' => 'advanced',
]);

This is my custom block's block.json:
{
"$schema": "hidden link",
"apiVersion": 3,
"name": "ttvie/magical-journey",
"title": "Magical Journey",
"category": "",
"icon": "text",
"description": "",
"keywords": [],
"version": "1.0.0",
"textdomain": "ttvie",
"supports": {
"anchor": true,
"align": false,
"alignWide": false,
"ariaLabel": false,
"html": false,
"layout": false,
"inserter": true,
"multiple": false,
"reusable": true
},
"style": "file:./magical-journey.css",
"acf": {
"mode": "preview",
"renderCallback": "spwkRenderAcfBlock"
}
}

The 'spwkRenderAcfBlock' renderCallback basically takes the IDs of the via the ACF selected pages, reads their data, and prints it.

Thank you for checking. Let me know, if you need anything else.

Hi,

Thank you and sorry for the late reply, too.
I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately, it did not change anything.
Is there anything else, you or we can try?

Thanks,

Hi,

Sorry for blocking the site, you can check yourself anytime now.

I tried these steps yesterday:
1. Fixed the chinese translation manually.
2. Changed in the german origin a little text (below the first 4 icons)
3. Checked in WPML Translation Management whether the auto-translation kicked in
4. As it did not for all translations, i waited until the ones that got translated were ready and sent the ones, that werent automatically translated to the translations service via the buttons on the bottom of that page.
5. I waited until all icons for the home page showed the green checkmark
6. Checked the chinese translation in the frontend and found, that the cards were again in the source language

Hi,

You are right, the link is correct, but the headline and text in each card before the link should also be displayed translated. Unfortunately, this still does not work.
I also tried clearing all relevant server caches, but with no success.

Thank you,

Hi,

this is simply for a better experience for editors, so that there is a simpler interface.
We do this by simply printing the information differently out on the screen, whether it is displayed in front- or backend. However, the method of gathering these information is the same in both cases. I attached a screenshot of the simplified code. The sample is a twig-template (hidden link), field.items holds the array of post IDs as returned by ACF and the relevant get_post function is provided by Timber (hidden link), which is basically just a wrapper around WordPress' global 'get_post' function.

Thank you,
Regards

Hi,

is there a way to access this sandbox directly via FTP?
The FileManager plugins are not very flexible, and the whole site cannot be accessed anymore, if an uploaded php file contains an error. I cannot finish the setup, unfortunately, and i cannot fix my mistake either.
