I really love wordpress… I use it for both fun and profit. So, it is normal for me to develop some web sites using wordpress. Lately I have developed i site for a “fashion store”. The shop owner asked me to have the admin interface in Italian (she is italian). So I have installed the right files and she was happy. Her happiness vanished when she tried to make a post on his ow query_posts("lang=it"); was ok. All the "italian" editor's messages were correctly shown ... but no one of the messages posted from "not italian" editors was shown. However I continued on the right way so I have writen:
$myownargs= array (
'post_type'=> 'post',
'meta_query' => array (
'relation'=> 'OR',
array(
'key'=> '_locale',
'value'=> array ('it_IT','en_US'),
'compare'=> 'IN',
) ,
array(
'key'=> '_locale' ,
'value'=> 'en_US',
'compare'=> 'LIKE',
),
array(
'key'=> '_locale' ,
'value'=> 'it_IT',
'compare'=> 'LIKE',
)
)
);
query_posts($myownargs);
Not good... not good at all...
So I have forgotten the "right manner" and i returned to old way ... sql statements plus a nice wordpress object:
global $wpdb;
$myownquery="select * from $wpdb->posts where post_type='post' and post_status='publish'";
$myownres=$wpdb->get_results( $myownquery );
if ( $myownres ) {
foreach ($myownres as $post) {
setup_postdata( $post );
.......
This, definetely solved the issue.
The moral of this story is: "the meta are nice but sql statements are useful" ...
