All add-ons currently require PHP 7.4 or greater.

On July 4th 2024 PHP 8.2 will be the new minimum requirement for all add-ons. Expect any add-on released after that date to require 8.2 or greater. Some releases may not immediately take advantage of 8.x specific features in PHP, which means you might, be able to continue using new releases in PHP 7.4, however, if you experience an error the first thing you should do is update to PHP 8.2 then create a support ticket if the error persists.

Ticket: Auto-translating RTE Field simplifies links

Status Resolved
Add-on / Version Publisher 3.8.0
Severity
EE Version 6.3.5

Have link in RTE - work just fine in default language but if you translate the RTE both are affected in ways that are unhelpful.

In the default language it looks like this:

<a data-bs-target="#modalDropshipping" data-bs-toggle="modal" href="{site_url}ecommerce#">plataformas de dropshipping</a>

If I auto-translate this to another language (e.g. english) the resulting link looks like this:

<a href="{site_url}ecommerce#">dropshipping platforms</a>

As you can see the data-* attributes have been removed from the translated version of the link. In this instance (the link opens a modal) this has the effect of ‘breaking’ the link.

I am guessing this is a DeepL quirk, have not tried to see if Google is any better - but is an unhelpful / unnnecessary change.

My guess is this is a DeepL issue…. Not sure I can do much about that.

I think I’ve found out what this is: I think it is a quirk in the ‘retranslate this entry’ operation. I think what was happening is that ‘retranslate’ uses a (presumably) cached copy of the text that was originally translated from when that first happened, not from the current state of the default text. When I deleted the translation and then made a new one the attributes were carried through to the translated version.
