Creating a locale - not showing up

Linc · December 2010

I wanted to shorten the tab created by the Participated Discussions plugin without hacking the plugin, so I figured I'd make a locale. I created a folder /locale/newbuddhist and dropped a definitions.php into it:

$LocaleInfo['newbuddhist'] = array( // The locale key must match the folder the locale is in.
   'Locale' => 'NewBuddhist' // The code of the locale
   'Name' => 'NewBuddhist'
   'Description' => 'Phrase overrides.', // Be as descriptive as possible.
   'Version' => '1.0', // A version number compatible with php's version_compare(). 
   'Author' => 'Matt Lincoln Russell',
   'AuthorEmail' => 'lincolnwebs@gmail.com',
   'AuthorUrl' => '' 
);

$Definition['Participated Discussions'] = 'Participated';

But it won't show up in my dashboard. I deleted by ini files to make sure my renaming and experimenting didn't mess it up. Any ideas?

Preemptive @Todd ping.

In your info array, 'Locale' needs to be 'en-CA' or whatever your locale is defined as in your config.

Also, FYI: Long blocks of code are better put in pre tags rather than code tags. Code tags are for inline and pre are for block. It will look nicer that way.

@Todd: I also have a problem with the 'Locale' parameter. When I change it from 'en-CA' to 'nl' (I'm making a dutch translation) enabling my locale does nothing. It will only work if I set it to 'en-CA' which is odd...

In the config file the locale rule is changed automatically on enabling the locale.

Can you give me a hint? I've started a question @ http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/13995/dutch-locale-wont-work-unless-i-leave-the-locale-parameter-to-en-ca/p1
