WooCommerce Multilingual translated variations’ quantity out of sync fix

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Alari

This PHP script may help if WooCommerce Multilingual product variation quantities are getting out of sync. Basically what it does is it deletes old “post_product_variation” relations from icl_translations table and creates new ones (and the ones which were already missing – that’s where the problem is) using pure PHP mysqli connection rather than any WordPress/WooCommerce functionalities so it doesn’t depend on those if they had any bugs causing the out of sync situation in first place.

Try WooCommerce Multilingual built-in troubleshooting feature at WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Status > Troubleshooting > check all the boxes except duplicate term (or check it if you need) and Start. Might happen it already solves the chaos or for some but not all products.
Download the script to your WordPress site root directory where there is also wp-config.php (required). You’ll find the .zip at the end of this post. Make backups and read the script code first, use at your own risk! Yes, it deletes old relations from the DB, so have a backup. Run the script directly (it is not a plugin).
Go back to point 1 and Sync variables products again. This step is necessary!
(Bonus) Now the variation quantities should be already synced. However if the quantities are now same in different languages but you edit (or order) a variation quantity and it doesn’t update the other translations:
1. WPML > Translation Management > Multilingual Content Setup. Custom Field Translation > Show system fields, _stock has to be listed and set to “copy”.
2. If _stock is not listed nor set to “copy” examine WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual > Status for _stock. And plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/wpml-config.xml file and optionally same file in your theme folder. Edit XML to “copy” and Restore default at WPML > Languages > Reset settings.
3. Everything ok but still not synchronizing automatically? Add the following code to your themes functions.php, requires points 4.1 and 4.2 to be resolved (_stock listed and set to “copy”):

// WooCommerce Sync variation quantity in translations
add_action('updated_post_meta', 'wc_sync_variation_quantity_in_translations', 10, 4);
function wc_sync_variation_quantity_in_translations($meta_id, $post_id, $meta_key, $meta_value)
{
    if ('_stock' == $meta_key) {
		do_action('wpml_sync_custom_field', $post_id, $meta_key);
	}
}
// /

Tested/solution for:
* WooCommerce 2.6.14, the latest WooCommerce2 version.
* WooCommerce Mutlilingual 4.2.0
* WPML Translation Management 2.2.6

Even if the script was written for WooCommerce2 this kind of trouble exists on newer 3+ versions also. Still give it a try.

MediaWiki, Parsoid and Heroku configuration hints

Posted on July 4, 2018 by Alari

No Comments

(MediaWiki 1.31.0)

Login “Remember password” checked by default

Add to LocalSettings.php:

$wgHooks['AuthChangeFormFields'][] = function ($requests, $fieldInfo, &$formDescriptor, $action) {
    $formDescriptor['rememberMe']['default'] = true;
    return true;
};

See Hooks/AuthChangeFormFields and HTMLForm.

However, if you need it because of random session drops then see the next chapter:

Session handling / PHP’s default session handler / Session problems

$wgSessionsInObjectCache vs $wgPHPSessionHandling

The first one (and setting it to false) is deprecated (= no longer has effect).

In case you’re getting randomly logged out or “a loss of session data” errors appear then try to disable mixing session handling of MW and PHP. Add to LocalSettings.php:

$wgPHPSessionHandling = 'disable';

Wake Parsoid on user login if running on Heroku free dynos

Parsoid is a node.js-based service used by MediaWiki’s awesome VisualEditor. Parsoid can be set up on a free Heroku account.

Add to LocalSettings.php:

$wgHooks['UserLoggedIn'][] = function($user) {
    if ($user->isAllowed('edit')) {

        $parsoid_host = 'parsoidonheroku.herokuapp.com';

        $fp = fsockopen('ssl://' . $parsoid_host, 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);
        $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n";
        $out .= "Host: " . $parsoid_host . "\r\n";
        $out .= "Content-Length: 0"."\r\n";
        $out .= "Connection: Close\r\n\r\n";
        fwrite($fp, $out);
        fclose($fp);
    }
};

After a user with edit permission logs into MediaWiki, sends a GET request to Parsoid Heroku-URL but doesn’t wait for an answer. Shouldn’t affect login time but decreases VisualEditor’s first-load time (otherwise could be ~20+ seconds). Free dynos go to sleep after 30min of inactivity. Currently maximum allowed awake time per 24h is 18h.

Enable local Parsoid to have edit access without hardcoding IP or cookie forwarding

Might be useful, depends on your server config. Add to LocalSettings.php:

if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == gethostbyname(trim(`hostname`))) {
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['read'] = true;
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['edit'] = true;
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['upload'] = true;
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['reupload'] = true;
    $wgGroupPermissions['*']['reupload-shared'] = true;
}

Fix Jasny File Input in Avant theme and IE / MS Edge

Open /HTML/assets/css/styles.css, find the following block:

.btn-file > input {
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  margin: 0;
  opacity: 0;
  filter: alpha(opacity=0);
  transform: translate(-300px, 0) scale(4);
  -webkit-transform: translate(-300px, 0) scale(4);
  font-size: 23px;
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
  direction: ltr;
  cursor: pointer;
}

Comment out the following lines:

/*  transform: translate(-300px, 0) scale(4);
  -webkit-transform: translate(-300px, 0) scale(4); */

Now Select file/image etc buttons should work in Internet Explorer 11 (as tested on 11.306.10586.0) and Microsoft Edge.

To make the examples in File Inputs section of the Form Components page work, open /HTML/form-components.htm and change:

<script type='text/javascript' src='assets/plugins/form-jasnyupload/fileinput.min.js'></script>

to:

<script type='text/javascript' src='assets/plugins/form-jasnyupload/fileinput.js'></script>

Now the controls and image preview are functioning.

Additionally the plugin could be upgraded to a more recent version, select “Download source code” and replace /HTML/assets/plugins/form-jasnyupload/fileinput.js and fileinput.less files with the ones from the downloaded archive. Upgrading to 3.1.3 makes “too much recursion”-errors disappear from the JS-console.

Using IF condition in SELECT in Active Record SQL scope (for Yii)

Instead of a string value use an array to specify different ‘select’ expressions (just a string will get exploded using comma as delimter and there’ll be an error). NB! New variables defined only in SQL query code (with AS) should be defined also in the Model:

// AR variables defined in SQL query code
public $begins_same_day;
public $is_long;

public function scopes()
{
	return array(
		'more' => array(
			'select' => array(
				'*',
				'FALSE AS begins_same_day',
				'IF (DATE(date_to) > DATE(date_from + INTERVAL 1 DAY), TRUE, FALSE) AS is_long'
			),
			'condition' => 'TO_DAYS(date(date_from)) > (TO_DAYS(date(NOW())) + 2)',
			'order' => 'date_from ASC, date_to ASC',
			'limit' => 20
		)
	);
}
