Check which locales of an Entry are active

Question

I have a section called News with 2 locales: 'en' and 'nl'. For some News items I have both languages switched on and for some only 1 language. The screenshot shows an example of an entry with only 1 language switched on.

Is there a php method to check the Entry object which languages are switch on?

Answer 1

After doing a quick search through the Craft app folder I found this method:

craft()->elements->getEnabledLocalesForElement($variables['entry']->id)

You can probably use this and send the EntryModel's id as the parameter

Answer 2

Needed this for Craft 3 and came up with the following solution. Not sure if it’s the best approach, but it works.

/**
 * Returns in which sites an entry has active content
 * @entryId {int}
 * @return {array}
 */
public function getEntryLocales($entryId)
{
    $supportedSites = Entry::find()->id($entryId)->one()->getSupportedSites();
    $locales = array();

    foreach ($supportedSites as $site) {
        $entry = Entry::find()->id($entryId)->siteId($site['siteId'])->one();

        if ($entry) {
            $locales[] = $entry->site->language;
        }
    }

    return $locales;
}
