Activities not applying text from definitions.php locale

shumooshumoo New
in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

These (below) are not being properly loaded...instead all I'm getting is "Yaga.HeadlineFormat.BadgeEarned". :(

// Activities
$Definition['Yaga.HeadlineFormat.BadgeEarned'] = '{ActivityUserID,You} earned the {Data.Name,text} badge.';
$Definition['Yaga.HeadlineFormat.Promoted'] = '{ActivityUserID,You} earned a promotion to {Data.Name,text}.';

I noticed that the definitions from the yaga application locale folder were not loading at all initially, to experiment I moved them into the vanilla applications locale and now I see most the definitions correctly.

I'm obviously missing something pretty basic here...can anyone unstick me?

    I figured it out. I didn't delete the cache files before the activity was logged so it inserted into the DB with text as is instead of evaluating it using the definition.

    You need to perform the last step of the readme

    README.md

    Finally, you need to delete the /cache/locale_map.ini file to force refresh the locale definitions.

    Note that once this happens, any existing activity items will not be updated. All future activity items will use the locale.

    Check the readme files for instructions on how to locate and delete your cache files.
    Mine read as "Finally, you need to delete the /cache/locale_map.ini file to force refresh the locale definitions."

    While it only says to delete the locale_map.ini, I deleted all the files in the cache folder knowing they will be recreated. If you create a backup of them somewhere first you should be able to do this as well.

    After you delete the cache files, you will need to run an UPDATE SQL statement for the rows in the activity table where the text is not equal to the text from the definitions.php.

    I use mysql workbench and this is the query I wrote:
    UPDATE <<YOUR_DB>>.GDN_Activity SET HeadlineFormat = '<<YOUR DEFINITIONS.PHP TEXT HERE>>' WHERE ActivityID IN (1,2,3) OR HeadlineFormat = '<<TEXT YOU SEE ON YOUR FORUMS THAT DID NOT APPLY DEFINITIONS TEXT>>'

    Make sure to update this query for your own DB and change the where clause using only the fields you want to match on.

    That will correct the entries that were created in the DB already and once you delete the cache files you should not see the problem repeat any more.
