When you make a new category named "General", on 1.4.0, it renames it to "General Admin" for some wierd reason.

ANyone else gets this?

Thanks.

I do not mean this rudely but you have posted a number of issues tht just do not happen on other installs. how did you upload it? unzipping on site, or at home?

A fresh install may be better

Not being rude at all, i also develop software and i understand completely.

I unzipped in my computer ( using winrar ). I uploaded using FlashFXP. it was a fresh installed taken directly from this site. I did not add any modifications exept for the Olympus Login, which is mostly a stlyling modification, and only affects login.php

The styles were also directly taken from this site.

EDIT:

I did do the upgrades from im_phpBB_2017 all the way to 2.0.20 but i am a php programmer so i am pretty sure i didnt make mistakes, besides i used the premodded files ( sheer lazyness ).

This got me thinking, and you know that means trouble! I first went and checked the 141 and yes the same happens. 'This can't be right!' I said to myself so I searched the entire 140 download and foound 3 "General Admin" references.

which led me to see that it was picking up the lang key. to test it make a forum Ban_explain <img> hehehe!

This then leads me to think this is not a bug but a design build. I now wonder is there a switch to 'localise titles', if not - do we change the lang keys or disable this 'feature'?!

Author: **phDaemon** » Wed May 31, 2006 2:21 pm

So then its assigning any 'General' string the $lang['General'] value?

so anything that has a lang_key on it will be replaced by the actual value. this is very wierd.

May i ask what caused it to happen? which modification did you do?

Thanks ( This is very strange indeed as how you said it is only localized and does not affect outside the admin panel ) lol

Author: **Adrian Rea** » Wed May 31, 2006 2:47 pm

In fact this is a very useful function for some. It is like the IMPortal block can be linked to a lang key so that if a site is viewed in one language, the forum or block is understood by its title. Like News and Nieuws on the portal block, it allows the reader to know what is inside, even if it is not all in their language.

Unfortunately this has a limited value and I think we need to look at how to progress. I have made comment in the 141 forums.

For now, a quick fix is to edit language/lang_english/lang_admin.php Find

Code: Select all: $lang['General'] = 'General Admin';

Rplace with

Code: Select all: $lang['General'] = 'General';

but remember this will change your left column in ACP a little

Author: **tmotley** » Wed May 31, 2006 3:48 pm

Heh, I tinkered around with it. Check out what happens when you create a category and name it with a plain number like 12... <img>

Author: **phDaemon** » Wed May 31, 2006 4:38 pm

Hahahahaha, wow thats rich. GMT + ( Forum name here )

pretty good lol

seems something aught to be done about it afterall

Author: **Michaelo** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 3:55 am

Simply put if a word is assigned in lang_admin.php it must be considered restricted when it comes to naming forums/categories i.e. is has become a system language variableÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

Note Numbers are also restricted so use (in post above) 12_ and set up a language variable for 12_ = 12

A function checks to see if a forum/category name is a language variable and if so it replaces it with the corresponding language value. As General is already a system language variable it cannot be reusedÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

To over come this or any other naming problem simple name the Category or Forum Name_ (note the trailing _)
For example] [color=brown]Forum Name = General_
Place a language value of $lang['General_'] = 'General'; in the lang_admin.php file.

This way other languages can assign a value for generalÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

Author: **phDaemon** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:07 am

You cant do that because if you name the forum 'General_' it will show up in the index page as General_ not as 'General'

this only happens in the admin panel...in other words, the lang keys are localized to the ACP but not to a certain module itself.

Author: **Adrian Rea** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:12 am

Duh, I did not see that! Grrrrr. yes, you are right this is only happening in the ACP, I knew something was not right. So we need to look at this a a bug but not desperate.

Author: **phDaemon** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:29 am

no wories

Author: **Michaelo** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 4:59 pm

Naming the category General_ and adding the language variable General_ = ÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€¹Ã…â€œGeneral only fixes the admin bug but the viewforums reverts to the language variable General_ so the fix is ineffectiveÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Back to the drawing board

Just a thought

Author: **Michaelo** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 6:45 pm

A small dilemma aka catch22ÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

If I allow the setting of categories/forums name to what are in effect restricted names I will have to disable language name lookup for admin forumsÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ so for now, to allow such names as General, or numbered forums as 1,2,3,ect. Follow the next edit.

Code: Select all: Open])) $res = $lang[$res];And replace [url=with]with://if[/url] (isset($lang[$res])) $res = $lang[$res];

This will remove the lookup for matching words but I dont know if it will have any side effectsÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

A simpler solution would be to use names such as:
General Forum
Forum 1, Forum 2 etcÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

I am not convinced everyone would support this action so for now I won't add it to beta... On the other hand the aforementioned function may be of little use... thoughtsÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ <!-- s]

[color=red]This is not a bug its more a trade-offÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

Oh sure, tempt us by posting a link to a private forum... <img>

Author: **phDaemon** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 6:21 am

Well....i guess i consider it a bug because the lang problem should be localized but isnt.

Code: Select all: if (isset($lang[$res])) $res = $lang[$res];

Why not put that code somewhere else where it should not affect the entire CH modification?

also the link...

Sorry, but only users granted special access can read topics in this forum.

I still dont know exactly what purpose the code provides because the whole thing about lang is that anyone can change it....unless you also want the name of the forums to change depending on lang? then again, we already know that doesnt work...

Just my two cents.

Author: **Michaelo** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 2:48 pm

Here is the post... Did not realise it was a private forum...

I have gone all the way back to 1.3.2 and the same code exists in all versionsÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ This is not a bug! Read onÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

Languages]
French: $lang['General'] = 'Administration GÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ©nÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ©rale';
English: $lang['General'] = 'General Admin';

[color=green]Code]
if (isset($lang[$res])) $res = $lang[$res];

It can be seen from the above that certain words have been assigned to admin menu headers being common to all languages these have in very real sense become restricted or reserved.

Now if I disable the function to allow the user to use words that appear in the lang_admin file I screw up the intended language replace functionalityÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

You may have noticed quite a few of the phpbb default language items use this_word_is, the underscore help to avoid this problemÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

[color=darkblue]So in support of calling this a bugÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ Emphasising with _ (underscore) should have been done at the outset and the problem would have been eliminated but as this happened some time ago changing it now would require a lot of work and may not be worth the hassle when all the user has to do is use another nameÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

I give upÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦ whatever it is it isnt a bug

Author: **phDaemon** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 1:49 pm

So, what can you do to fix it? just comment out that line? what "bad" effects will that have?

Author: **Michaelo** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 7:34 pm

There are only a few names used in the admin that we can't use but we only need make slight changes and we don't have a problem... On the next revision I will insist on using the underscore for all admin language variables so this problem wont occur again but till then we have to refrain from using them or perhaps individual sites may choose to comment out the line either way its not idealÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦

One other standard, which has become lax, is the use of capitalisation for language variable i.e. people are using mixed case again this does not made the debugging any simplerÃƒÆ’Ã‚ ¢Ãƒ ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬Ãƒâ€šÃ‚ ¦
