Givewp: feat(compat): share goal progress across multiple forms using WPML

[vukvukovich]

Issue Overview

Common donation goal for multiple languages.

Expected Behavior

Option that enables common goal for multiple languages. So that it sums donations across languages.

Current Behavior

Currently we can make separate goals for each language with same donation goal amount.
But every donation is calculated separately.

For example:
If you donate 10$ in English, english goal will be for that donation closer, not Spanish and vice versa.

Possible Solution

I've debugged a bit and it would be great if there was an option that updates _give_form_sales and _give_form_earnings in your custom tables.

For WPML you can use this hook to get translated form ID: https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_object_id/

Hi @vukvukovich thanks for the issue. If I understand correctly you have a separate form for each language but want to display progress towards a common goal.

We have an open issue for a [give_totals] shortcode that allows you to display goal progress from multiple forms. Does that sound like what you're looking for?

Thanks @kevinwhoffman, that looks like it should do the job. Will it support multiple [give_totals]? For example: 4 forms in general, but 2 common goals?

@vukvukovich Our current implementation has been merged into the Give 2.1.0 release. Here's how it works. You define your overall goal in the shortcode and the forms that you want to include in the calculation. The shortcode will add the totals of the forms you've defined and output the total goal progress.

Example: [give_totals total_goal="5000" ids="1,2,3"]
If each of those forms has raised $1,000 then the shortcode will display $3,000 of the $5,000 with the message you define and an optional progress bar.

You can also pass in categories or tags if you want it to be a bit more dynamic. We're documenting the shortcode now, but you can see the available attributes here: https://github.com/WordImpress/Give/blob/issue/2943/includes/shortcodes.php#L548-L692

This will be available when 2.1.0 releases in the near future. I'm going to close this out in the meantime. Cheers.
