ad contact form lacks login link with redirect
Introduction:
ClassiPress provides the option to require users to be logged in in order to contact ad posters. With that option enabled, ClassiPress behaves as follows: When a logged-out user views an ad, the contact form is replaced with a message saying, "You must be logged in to inquire about this ad."
About the message:
This message is defined on
line 58 of
sidebar-ad.php. It is inside the
_e() function, which allows developers to translate it using .mo files. All of that works fine.
PHP Code:
_e( 'You must be logged in to inquire about this ad.', APP_TD );
What's the problem:
While the message tells the user he/she must login,
it doesn't display a login link with a redirect to the current page. I think this is an opportunity to improve the usability of the theme.
Although developers can translate the original string using an .mo file,
they still can't insert a dynamic login link with a redirect to the current page without modifying PHP code (or JS, etc.).
Proposal:
I see other strings in the .mo file that include parameters.
My request is for AppThemes to add the site login URL (with a redirect to the current page) as a parameter to this string like they did for other strings; e.g. "You must be <a href='%s'>logged in</a> to post a comment." on line 120 of theme-comments.php, which combines the
printf() and the
__() functions as shown below
PHP Code:
printf( __( "You must be <a href='%s'>logged in</a> to post a comment.", APP_TD ), wp_login_url( get_permalink() ) );
