Plugins title back from XML title ?

9 years 1 week ago

Hi

It seems that JS4 is now ignoring the PLG_MYPLUGIN_TITLE language constant (for plugins title) that it introduced in JS3.
Plugins titles (tabs titles) are now again taken from the installation XML title tag.
Wich makes it untranslatable and uneditable unless you uninstall, edit the xml repack and reinstall the plugin.
(Just like it was in the early days...)
Why such a step backward ?

Hi, Adrien.

Actually no, we didn't. Please, take a look on my printscreens:

- Instead of saying: 'it's not working', explain the problem in detail.
- Screenshots with the URL visible in them and the problem marked are more than welcome.
- Tell us how to replicate the problem, we can't fix it if we can't find it.
- Make sure that your site/server meets JomSocial System Requirements
- Make sure to setup JomSocial Cron Job
- Always provide us with access details to the backend and ftp. We need it to debug problems.
- If you have a similar problem, but a solution you found isn't working, open a new thread instead of 'merging' with an existing one.

Ok, good but it doesn't work here neither from the plugin language file nor from overrides.

en-GB.plg_aupprofile.ini
has
PLG_AUPPROFILE_TITLE="My AUP points"
But the title keeps the plugin name (AlphaUserpoints profile) and not the language constant value.
( www.cubejunction.com/index.php/profile )
It worked before 4.0 so I wonder whant changed.

Please, edit your first post and add credentials to corresponding fields.

This is not our plugin... but I'd like to take a look...

I work locally.

After my tests
My conclusion is: it works for core plugins, but doesn't for any of my 3rd party plugins

The syntax I used is the same as yours
PLG_EVENTS_TITLE
where _EVENTS_ is the plugin file title.
So if my plugin is runtastic.php
PLG_RUNTASTIC_TITLE should override the tab title but it doesn't.
I can confirm that PLG_EVENTS_TITLE works as it should.

Also all these overrides work in the plugin content but only those from Jomsocial work for tab titles.
I have tested this extensively with JS4.0.5 so please take it seriously.

Hello Albertus, thank you for your help.
I can't provide any ftp access as I am testing this localy.
But I can eventualy email you a 3rd party plugin so you can check by yourself.

I allready tested with PLG_EVENTS_TITLE and it worked fine , both in tab title and plugin content
But when I test with 3rd party plugins putting PLG_RUNTASTIC_TITLE in language file or language override only works inside the plugin and not for the tab title. Tab title keeps XML title.

This means TAB Title is not translatable for 3rd party plugins.

I tested with various different plugins (only 3rd party have this issue). it used to work fine before JS4.0 (since JS3)

Hi Adrien,

the issue with that plugin XML. if you open the XML file, you can see the <name> not using language string. the <name> value must PLG_RUNTASTIC_TITLE. so if that plugin installed, at database for plugin name will be PLG_RUNTASTIC_TITLE so you can override it.

please open phpmyadmin and find that plugin name, and edit it to PLG_RUNTASTIC_TITLE

This makes sense. It was not required before JS4.0 so I got confused.
I guess it will solve this issue . Thanks a lot.
