How do I reset the comment count visible in the permalink when a user is posting a new comment? For an example see the picture below:
"#comments-..."
I have deleted all comments on my site but the 'counter' keeps counting.
The comment count is caused by a default Wordpress code (in the wp-comments-post.php file) shown belown:
$location = empty( $_POST['redirect_to'] ) ? get_comment_link( $comment ) : $_POST['redirect_to'] . '#comment-' . $comment->comment_ID;
In my case, I fixed it by made a dummy comment on a post. Then Comments section in Admin Dashboard recounted. Then simply delete that dummy comment will reset it to zero.

I'm trying to make my test app in multilanguage way.
This question has two correlated questions:
First question:
I followed the second answer in How to create multilingual translated routes in Laravel and this help me having a multilanguage site and the route cached, but I've a question and some misunderstanding.
It's a good practice overwrite an app config as they do int the AppServiceProver.php, making:
Config::set('app.locale_prefix', Request::segment(1));
Isn't better to work with the Session::locale in any case?
Second question:
In my case I've two languages, and in the navbar I want to print just ENG when locale is original language, and ITA when session locale is English.
If I'm in the Italian page, the ENG link in the navbar should point to the same English translated page.
Working with the method used in the other question, I hade many problems caused by the:
Config::set('app.locale_prefix', Request::segment(1));
We overwrite the variable in the config file local_prefix, and every time I switch to English language the locale_prefix will change to 'eng' and this sounds me strange, another thing I did is this:
if ( $lang && in_array($lang, config('app.alt_langs')) ){
return app('url')->route($lang . '_' . $name, $parameters, $absolute);
}
We use the alt_langs where are defined only the alternative languages, and this is a problem cause if I pass the local lang, in my case 'it', like lang parameter, this will not be found cause, from the description, the alt_lang should not contain the locale language and you will be able to get only the translated string.
If I change the:
if ( $lang && in_array($lang, config('app.alt_langs')) ){
return app('url')->route($lang . '_' . $name, $parameters, $absolute);
}
in:
if ( $lang && in_array($lang, config('app.all_langs')) ){
return app('url')->route($lang . '_' . $name, $parameters, $absolute);
}
Now using app.all_langs I'm able to choose which URL you want and in which language I want.
How do I get the translated URL?
In the blade file I need to get the translated URL of the page, and if read the other question, we used the $prefix for caching the routes and giving to the route a new name ->name($prefix.'_home'); in this way I can cache all the route and I can call the routes using blade without prefix {{ route('name') }} but, needing the translated url of the actual page a made this on the top of the view:
#php
$ThisRoute = Route::currentRouteName();
$result = substr($ThisRoute, 0, 2);
if ($result =='it' ){
$routeName = str_replace('it_', '', $ThisRoute);
$url = route($routeName,[],true,'en');
} else {
$routeName = str_replace('en_', '', $ThisRoute);
$url = route($routeName,[],true,'it');
}
#endphp
Doing this I get the actual route name that should be it_home I check if start with it_ or en_, I remove the it_ or en_ prefix and I get the translated URL, now you can use the $url as <a href="{{ $url" }}>text</a> cause if I call the {{ route('page') }} I get the link, with the locale language.
This code is not very good, I know, but I written in 5 minutes, need more implementation, and check, but for the moment is just to play with Laravel.
It's a good way?? How can I do it better (except the blade link retrieving)?? Many solution I found used middleware, but I would like to avoid a link in the navbar like mysite.com/changelang?lang=en
Is a good approach overriding the app.locale_prefix?
First
according to your question, it's a bad practice to save the preferences into .env or session because as soon as the session is finished the saved language will be removed also it's common when you need to store any preferences related to your website such as (Color, Font, Language, ...etc) you must store any of them into the cache.
Second
honestly, your code is a very strange and NOT common way and there are two ways to handle what do you need
First
There is a very helpful and awesome package called mcamara it'll help you too much (I recommend this solution).
Second
you can do it from scratch using the lang folder located in the resource folder and you must create files with the same count of the needed languages then use the keys that you'll define into these files into views and you can prefix your routes with the selected language you can use group method like so
Route::group(['prefix' => 'selected_lang'], function() {
Route::get('first_route', [Controller::class, 'your_method']);
});
or you can add the selected language as a query string like so localhost:8000/your_route?lang=en you can follow this tutorial for more info.
I'm having some trouble using the Former plugin for Laravel, to handle forms & fields.
The use-case is an "edit"-form for a given model.
Former::text('title')
->label('Title')
->value( $title );
Former::text('description')
->label('Description')
->value( $description );
Rules:
The title must always exist and be at least 10 chars long.
The description may be empty.
Expected behaviour:
When loading the edit form, I expect the form to show the values of $title and $description in the fields.
Whenever submitting a the form with invalid field-values, I expect the submitted values to be shown in the fields, instead of the values of $title and $description.
Problem:
This works only when submitting non-empty strings!
When submitting an empty-string, it's like Former handles it like the field-hasn't even been submitted, and therefore uses the value given by $title or $description instead.
I thought Former was able to do this "smart", and take the value($variable) value only if the posted data does not contain the field. But it seems Former is taking the variables value also when the submitted was empty.
Why is this a problem?
Imagine you edit both fields, and actually want to change the title and remove the description entirely, which is valid according to the rules. Then, because you entered a too short title, the validation does not pass, and title will get the new (too short) title as field-value, while the description value will fall back to the value of the $description variable, instead of showing an empty field, which was posted.
It feels like $_POST['description'] = "" is treated like $_POST['description'] = null or is not set - even though the empty field is part of the post.
In your view
//replace
Former::text('title')
->label('Title')
->value( $title );
//with
Former::text('title')
->label('Title')
... and in your controller
//add
Former::populate($model);
$model beeing the model in question :)
$model->title must ofc exist and have the same value as $title in your original code.
if you use ->value($somevalue) with Former, $somevalue will allways be used.
I have the following snippet code hooked up to a FormIt email form:
$tv = "taken" . (int)$hook->getValue('datetime');
$docID = $modx->resource->get('id'); //get the page id
$page = $modx->getObject('modResource', $docID);
$current = (int)$page->getTVValue($tv);
if (!$page->setTVValue($tv, $current + 1)) {
$modx->log(xPDO::LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, 'There was a problem saving your TV...');
}
$modx->setPlaceholder('successMessage','<h2 class="success">'.$current.'</h2>');
return true;`
It increments a template variable every time it is run and outputs a success message (although right now I'm using that functionality to output a debug message instead). The problem is, it only increments the TV once after saving the snippet, thereby refreshing the cache. Normally I would call the snippet without cache by appending ! to its name, but that doesn't appear to work for FormIt hooks. How can I get this code to work? Right now I'm running the entire page as uncacheable, but that is obviously suboptimal. Perhaps, there's a way to hook a snippet in an uncached manner? Call a snippet from within a snippet as uncached?
I'm doing something similar - but to count page loads, it looks to me like you are missing the last little bit: $current->save();
<?php
$docID = $modx->resource->get('id');
$tvIdm = 32;
$tvm = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar',$tvIdm );
$tvm->setValue($docID, $tvm->getValue($docID) + 1 );
$tvm->save();
Try add this before you save $tv object
$tv->_processed = false;
It's derived from modElement's property it extends.
The code line is:
$lists['published'] = JHTML::_('select.booleanlist', 'published' ,
'class="inputbox"', $row->published);
I found it at
http://www.phpeveryday.com/articles/Joomla-Component-Creating-Form-Input-Data-at-Back-End-P44.html
You can do a search on the page for the code segment.
The problem is with JHTML::_( parameters ).
I looked into this Joomla! documentation page:
http://docs.joomla.org/API15:JHTML/, but as a novice Joomla! programmer I couldn't understand the parameters. Can anyone help me understand the parameters please?
I thought this forum would be quicker in response than the mentioned site.
ADDED LATER:
Following two lines are from:
http://www.phpeveryday.com/articles/Joomla-Component-Saving-Data-to-Database-P45.html
$checked = JHTML::_('grid.id', $i, $row->id);
$published = JHTML::_('grid.published', $row, $i);
What is the explanation of grid.id and grid.published please?
$lists['published'] =
JHTML::_('select.booleanlist',
'published' , 'class="inputbox"',
$row->published);
Its nothing but html generation for boolean type data. This will generate the html of radio list with two options yes and no.
First argument is html for which type
of element
Second is name of radio
list
Third is any attributes need to
add to html of radio list
Forth is for the value which should be selected
$checked = JHTML::_('grid.id', $i,
$row->id);
This is used to show the check-boxes according to id.
Second argu is the counter of row, and third argu is the id value of the chekbox.
$published = JHTML::_('grid.published', $row, $i);
This is used to show cross and right mar in grid display in back-end. Cross mark when value is 0(no) and right mark is for 1(Yes).
Second argu s for name of field/element and third is the current value of that element.
Magento can add a suffix that is defined by the user to append onto urls. I want to get that suffix from my code. Does anyone know an easy way to do this?
If it's stored in the configuration area, then you access it just as you would any other configuration value, by using Mage::getStoreConfig($config_path) where $config_path is defined in the system.xml of the module that defines it.
If you're not sure of the $config_path, then I usually cheat and inspect the textbox/dropdown in the configuration section, take a look at the id, e.g. dev_log_file, and translate it to dev/log/file. You'll need to use some intelligence when there are multiple _ though :)
Nick's answer is good but the actual answer to this question is:
$suffix = Mage::helper('catalog/category')->getCategoryUrlSuffix();
If I am not mistaken, here is the code ( because I don't understand what you want with URL )
<?php
$currentUrl = $this->helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
$url_parts = split('[/.-]', $currentUrl); // escape characters should change based your url
echo $url_parts[0]; //check here
?>
complete product url:
$productId = ***;
$productUrl = Mage::getBaseUrl().Mage::getResourceSingleton('catalog/product')->getAttributeRawValue($productId, 'url_key', Mage::app()->getStore()).Mage::helper('catalog/product')->getProductUrlSuffix();
