Previous Step

WPML Configuration

After the setup process is completed, do the following configurations and complete the WPML configuration.

Please leave the remaining options the same except for the sections below where you will make changes.
Please don’t make additional configurations in Admin Options Panels located under PF Settings. Only the changes you make in main language shall be valid. You can translate the writings located in these panels by using "String Translation" section.
Since Point Finder has a specially made "Language Selector", you can’t do any configuration in language selector. Making configurations in Menu or Widget section is optional.

First of all, click on WPML > Languages menu and open the page that is seen in image. Here, you need to configure "Language URL format" option. You can choose one of the options seen in the image to the left side, which is indicated in red box. Then click on “Save” button.

Previous Step Next Step

Open WPML > Taxonomy Translation page. Choose the taxonomy you would like to edit from above and as you can see from the image on the left side, translate each component by writing “Name” section. Since system creates slug and description section itself, you don’t have to write them.

Previous Step

WPML String Translation

You can translate all content in your website to other languages from WPML > String Translation section. The most important section you should pay attention in this section is "admin_texts_theme_pointfinder" translations. You can see how to select it from the image on the left side.

This option allows you to translate words that are in PF Settings section. Therefore, before doing these translations, you need to complete the changes you will make in Options Panel, Custom Fields Config, Search Fields Config, Mail System Config and Review System Config sections. Then, in order to start the translation process, you need to generate wpml-config.xml from PF Settings > WPML Config section. Please open this section and follow steps on the page.

If you regenerate this xml file later, the translations that you have made stay the same; however if changes are made by admin, the status for that word shall be “Translation needs update” instead of “Translation completed”. In other words, it will require you to review the translation. For this reason, please complete all your changes regarding the written material before starting the translation.

Important: You can translate the parts except for "admin_texts_theme_pointfinder" sections by using String Translator in following manner. The warning above doesn’t concern other sections.

First of all, write the word that you would like to change. I will use the writing on map search button as an example.
Click on Search button and make a search.
Among the words which are found, click on “translations” section next to the word you want to translate.
Complete the translations.
Check the section which says "Translation is complete".
Click on "Save" button and complete the process.

WPML User Dashboard Config

After WPML setup, the dashboard page setting we configure from dashboard PF Settings > Options Panel > Frontend Upload section shall only be valid for main language. For other languages, you will see an empty page in user dashboard page. In order to eliminate this problem, please follow the steps below in the correct order.

Open the page you appointed as User Dashboard Page and save the page ID number you see on the image to somewhere.

Next Step

Now translate the page into the other language. Click on “Duplicate” setting from “Language” section which is indicated in the image to the left side and press “Duplicate” button.

Previous Step Next Step

When the process is over, click on pencil icon which is marked in the indicated to the side.

Open WPML > String Translation section in this step. Configure the fields which are indicated on the image to the left side.

First of all, select "admin_texts_pointfinder.." section.
Write Dashboard Page ID number, which you just saved, into this section.
Make a search.
Click on “translations” section from the results, write the page ID number which you translated as shown in the image, put a check on “Translation is complete” section, click on “Save” button and complete the process.
Note: If Dashboard Page defined in main language is changed, you must do these processes again. Also I used a single language as an example, but if you are going to use more than one language, you should create separate pages for each language.

Previous Step

Custom Points for category only supports top categories. Icons may not be specified for bottom categories.
If you are having problems in permalinks, it may be due to a plug-in you installed or because of the changes you made in admin panel post types section. In this case, first select and save permalink settings as default, and then select and save them by selecting as post name. This process will fix the broken permalinks.
Do not specify any post type name or url friendly name as “type” in Options Panel > System Setup > Post Type configuration. This will create a conflict with post-formats.
If you are using dsIDXpress Plugin, make sure that WP_DEBUG is disabled. Otherwise, you might encounter problems in image displaying, widget editing, etc. functions.

Frontend Upload Process - User Process

From this section you can learn about the process order of uploads made from the site frontend and the processes that shall be made in the background.

And the other is for the payment after the payment is completed. The processes of the admin starts after the e-mail that states item payment is completed.
For the next step, you can either click the “Item Edit Link” section that comes with the e-mail and pass onto 3rd section or you can pass onto 3rd section by choosing the item from “Pending Approval” section in the “Properties” section as in step 2.

Next Step

We choose the item whose payment e-mail we received among the items that await approval.

Translation

You can translate Point Finder to your own language by using Wordpress Translation System. First of all, you should install Wordpress in your own language (http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language) and then;

Install Poedit which is a software you use to edit the language file.
Click on "All Files & documentations" link from Themeforest and extract the zip file that you downloaded. Then open the file named "en_EN.po" which is located at the “languages” folder inside the pointfinder folder using Poedit.
Save this file by renaming it to the language code of your own language. For example: fr_FR.po (Language Codes)
Translate the file that you saved into your own language with Poedit. For more detailed information: How to Translate a WordPress Theme
After the translation file is completed, log in to your hosting via FTP and open the file named wp-config.php from the section where your Wordpress is installed and find this line: define ('WPLANG', ''); change this into your language code define ('WPLANG', 'fr_FR');
Upload the file named fr_FR.po, which you previously translated, to the languages folder of Point Finder Theme by connecting via FTP. This folder is generally located here: wp-content > themes > pointfinder > languages
Your translation work is now completed.

Word Translation

If you want to translate some of the words in the website and this word is not available in “Options Panel”, you should follow the translation steps stated above. In addition to what is written above; for example, if your main language is already English and you want to use your website this way, you should use the file that you named fr_FR.po and the sections where you used fr_FR code as en_EN. This way, you can change any word you like in the website by using Wordpress Translation System.
