GlotCore History Limiter

الوصف

Controls and optimizes translation history in GlotPress by enforcing limits on waiting and old entries per string,
reducing unnecessary revisions and keeping the database lean and efficient.

1. It limits the number of waiting translations.
   Any waiting translations above the limit are set to old status and are no longer shown in the waiting translations list.

2. It limits the number of old translations.
   Any old translations above the limit are permanently deleted from the database.

How the limit works

Assume the limit is set to 2 translations per string.

1. Single user behavior

When a single user submits multiple translations:

• The latest translation is always marked as waiting
• The previous waiting translation becomes old
• If the number of old translations exceeds the limit:
  • The oldest old translation is deleted

Result:
– 1 waiting translation (latest)
– Up to 2 old translations (limited)

2. Multiple users

When multiple users submit translations for the same string:

• Each user can have one waiting translation

• A new submission:

  • Replaces that user’s previous waiting (which becomes old)
  • Does affect other users waiting translations if the total number of waiting translations exceeds the limit
  • The oldest waiting translation over the limit (regardless of user) becomes old

• All old translations are shared (counted globally per string)

• All waiting translations are shared (counted globally per string)

Configuration

Once installed, GlotCore History Limiter is ready to use. The default limit is set to 3 history entries per string.

You can change this limit by defining the following constant in your wp-config.php file:
php
define( 'GLOTCORE_HISTORY_LIMIT', 3 ); // Change 3 to your desired limit

You can also modify the limit by hooking into the glotcore_history_limit filter in your theme or plugin:
php
add_filter( 'glotcore_history_limit', function( $limit ) {
return 3; // Change 3 to your desired limit
} );
