JomSocial Expired Socialize Expired

Hi,
I want to display additional informations in the members list of Jomsocial. One is the corresponding country name for each user.
I added code in the file /templates/jomsocial/layouts/people.browse.php:

Country1: <?php echo JText::_($row->user->getInfo('FIELD_COUNTRY')); ?>
Job description: <?php echo $row->user->getInfo('FIELD_STELLEN'); ?>

In some cases I get a correct country name. In most cases I get the country code i.e. COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_EGYPT
All other fields are displayed correctly.

The language file "en-GB.com_community.country.ini" is installed.

You can see the result here: test.wosh.org/index.php/en/wosh-community/all-heroes

I would be very glad about your help!
With kind regards
Burghard

Hi, Burghard.

It's because country names are stored in database as language constants - not names.
I assign developer to this thread for further explanation...

- 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.

- Use the "Thank You" feature on any post that helped you

Hi,

if you got incorrect country name. you must put that language at:
/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.ini

i.e:
COM_COMMUNITY_LANG_NAME_EGYPT="Egypt"

or the fastes way, copy all content from /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.country.ini to /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_community.ini
