SoftGlaze Search (Multilingual)

Version 1.0.0 · 24 files · text domain softglaze-search

The multilingual build of SoftGlaze Search. Same directory search, plus a language layer and a wider set of configured post types.

One of two divergent builds. The other is softglaze-search. They share table names and shortcode tags, so only one may be active on a given site.

How it differs from the base build

It carries two functions the base build does not — sg_search_get_current_lang_context() and sg_search_get_ui_translations() — which is the language layer this branch exists for. It also passes language and country through to the frontend, and configures a longer list of post types. The base build has one function this one lacks, sg_search_filter_expertise_callback(). Everything else is the same function set with diverged bodies.

Provides

• Shortcodes — [sg_search_form], [sg_search_results_page], [sg_search_form_single], [sg_search_form_dual], [sg_search_results_display], [sg_category_block], [sg_display_providers], [sg_latest_blog_grid], plus a generated [list_all_<slug>] per configured post type
• Admin — Settings page holding the Mapbox public token (softglaze_search_mapbox_key), result page URL and form HTML
• Universal templates — single-cpt-universal.php renders any configured post type, not just one

Tables

{prefix}sg_providers, {prefix}sg_reviews, {prefix}sg_faqs, {prefix}sg_suggestions. sg_providers is also written by SoftGlaze Trustoo Scraper.

Requires

ACF, and a Mapbox public token set in the plugin's settings. No token is bundled; map and autocomplete stay inert until one is entered.

Known issues, both pre-existing

• assets/css/map.js posts to an AJAX action softplug_fetch_locations that no PHP handler registers. The script is enqueued, so the request fails silently.
• The plugin writes to {prefix}sg_suggestions but never creates that table.

Removed dead code

Three files were deleted after checking they were unreachable: includes/painters-cpt.php (41 KB), includes/updatepost.php (33 KB) and includes/archive-cpt-universal.php. None was required by any file, none defined a symbol the loaded code called, none was wired to a template filter, and no other plugin referenced them. They held the only registration of a painters post type with painters_category / painters_services taxonomies, and the only CREATE TABLE for {prefix}sg_providers — all of which had therefore never run. No loaded file reads that table. The code remains in git history if it is ever wanted back.
