Function: per page components.

[mvlcek]

Thanks! This made life easier since I basically want to have different sidebar content on each page.

Is there any way of combining this function with the i18n plugin?

You could of course change the component master function to behave "I18Nily".

Or you can use Chris' way to do it, where you can replace get_component with get_i18n_component.

Or you can do it like this (example for additional language German):

• Install the I18N CustomFields plugin
  
• Create your sidebar components, e.g. "sidebar1", "sidebar1_de", "sidebar2", "sidebar2_de", ...
  
• Goto Plugins/Configure I18N Custom Fields and add a field named "sbcomp", text "Sidebar", type "dropdown" and enter an empty line and all possible sidebars below the type, e.g.
  

Code:

sidebar1
sidebar2

• Edit each page which should have a custom sidebar component and select the corresponding component from the list, then save.
  
• Include the following code in your template:
  

Code:

<?php get_i18n_component(return_custom_field('sbcomp') ? return_custom_field('sbcomp') : 'sidebar'); ?>

This assumes that you have a standard sidebar component "sidebar" (and "sidebar_de") that you want to display, if the custom field is not set.

The advantage to Zegnat's approach is that you can use a component for multiple pages, a disadvantage might be that you have to select the sidebar component per page.
