Change "Discussions" to "Posts"

SteelVoltage · March 2013

Is there anyway to change the term Discussions to Posts?

peregrine · March 2013

put this in conf/locale.php or create conf/locale.php if you don't have one

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();



$Definition['Discussions'] = 'Posts';
$Definition['My Discussions'] = 'My Posts';
$Definition['All Discussions'] = 'All Posts';
$Definition['Start a New Discussion'] = 'Start a New Post';

read up on localization in the documentation

That works perfectly, thanks!

Can we do comments as replies too?

@SteelVoltage

You can use that file to change any system based definition.

It's time for you to learn to do it yourself - you've seen an example...

Okay, I've done some researching and believe figured it out for the most part. However, there's one last part I can't seem to change. On the category list and on the post lists it says "# discussions" and "# comments." How would you alter that part?

$Definition['discussions']='whateveryouwantittosay';

SteelVoltage · March 2013

That was the first thing I tried. However, on the category and discussion lists, where it shows the number of discussions and comments, it doesn't seem to affect it.

hmmm yea it may not be a system based definition , maybe if you added your own locale file in your theme. But I should research it more, hopefully someone may have an idea..

SteelVoltage · March 2013

Yeah I'll keep looking online, it's odd.

@SteelVoltage and @vrijvlinder

taking the guesswork out....

the way to look for definitions is to search the core and/or plugins for

T(

and Translate(

It takes the guesswork and assumptions out of the equation.

1) e.g. use grep (available for windows and linux - download the vanilla source and search for grep in discussions on this forum.

grep -ri ' T(' * | grep -ri "discussions" | more

or

2) use the localedeveloper plugin or

3) download a locale that has a pretty complete translation.

Three ways to get what you want without assumptions or guesswork. and it doesn't hurt to read the documentation on localization a second and third time.

hey guys, i dont have so much time but little by little im translated all of my forum to spanish. How can i shared this translation?

I dont talk only about core items, i translated some "word boxes" for example :

"mark all read" > "marcar todos como leidos"

Last post addon > "Last post" in box to "ultimos mensajes" in the box.

I dont have problems for shared this small job but i dont know how to do

English to spanish of course!

@Konquet

mmmm Ok, i try this

KevinHamilton · March 2013

@SteelVoltage - I haven't tested this, but based on a glance at the code I believe what you need is:

$Definition['%s discussion'] = '%s post';
$Definition['%s discussions'] = '%s posts';
$Definition['%s comment'] = '%s reply';
$Definition['%s comments'] = '%s replies';

SteelVoltage · March 2013

Kevin, that worked perfectly. Thanks so very much. I appreciate everyone's help.

vrijvlinder · March 2013

@SteelVoltage don't forget to give a reaction like : awesome or insightful to the people who helped !!

ahmedaladdin · March 2013

Thanks to everyone who spent sometime for helping us. What about forum.site.com/discussions? This will remain as it is! Is there anyway to change it to match with the definitions?

I work at a social security office and this would work very nicely at my window/cubicle...but then again it could be misconstrued a asking for tips so it is probably not allowed but it should be on a placard by the entry and the exit.

I can't create "conf/locale.php" because of the "/". Sorry, I'm totally a noob.
By the way, could you tell me where do I have to place the file when I finish it?

Change "Discussions" to "Posts"
