[L[Forums]] orca forums language compile problem

I have those ugly brackets [L[Forums]] all over the orca forums. I have read all over the BoonEx forums and nothing seems to work.

- Yes I have clicked on the [L[Compile Lang:]]en button and it returns a message saying that the language files were compiled successfully but nothing seems to have changed. The brackets are still there. I did it many times: still no change.

- Yes I have cleared the cache. No change.

- Yes the following directories are writable (chmod 777):

modules\boonex\forum\classes
modules\boonex\forum\conf
modules\boonex\forum\layout
modules\boonex\forum\log
modules\boonex\forum\js
modules\boonex\forum\cachejs

From the page: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/Common-problems-during-upgrade-from-7-0-2-to-7-0-3.htm

- First scenario: you didn't applied Step 5 from Upgrade Instructions. You can apply it now, after applying forum should work. The only thing is you need to recompile forum language file from admin panel -> modules -> orca forum -> manage forum.

- Second scenario: you are using 3rd-party template which is not compatible with new version, you can try to delete 3rd-party template files from forum, they are in /modules/boonex/forum/layout/ folder, leave only base* and uni* folders here. Then ask 3rd-party template author to provide you updated version of the template.

In my case it's the second scenario. However I am the the author of my own template. I made it a long time ago, so I don't remember all the details.

What should I do to have my template work in 7.0.4?

Create a ticket in our support page please

It seems I have to pay in order to submit a ticket.

I'm not sure I want to spend any more money on my site.

It's your product, it's defective and you should help me fix it, without asking me to pay.

Maybe you made a mistake when updating you dolphin. Because I told that you make a ticket. Support team should check everything!

My Dolphin installation is fine. Everything is working fine except the orca language files.

I made my own template a while back and it seems that it is now incompatible with the new orca version. What needs to be done to make it compatible?

The same thing you did when you originally created the template.

Start by removing your template folders from modules\boonex\forum\layout

There should be 2 of them. one with a _en. There might not be a folder with a _en for your template if it never compiled. Remove them. But keep copies somewhere.

Now make a copy of the modules\boonex\forum\layout\uni folder

Rename that folder to the name of your template.

Enter that folder and edit the file params.php

Replace the 3 occurrences of uni with the name of your template.

Done.


I also don't recall reading here if the default UNI template compiles without problems. Make sure it does. As it MUST be compiled first and must be successful for any others to properly compile.

Thanks this is very helpful. I'll get on it when I get back home.

What about the base layout?

No need to worry about the base layout.

If Deano's suggestion does not work, also try disabling the DB cache from Advanced Settings> Other if it is checked.

Thanks deano92964 and Zarcon! :)

Problem fixed. No more brackets and language files are perfectly compiled :)

To anyone else that might have the same problem: this is the fix!

I just ran the update from 7.02 to 7.03 to 7.04.  Followed each step.  I'm getting the [L[Forums]] too and I'm using the UNI template.  I've disabled the DB cache, cleared all other cache, checked the params.php, checked permissions, etc.

Still not getting access to compile the language.

Me to

Got the    same problem

i use  my   pt  laguange    and boonex template

trunk-14918      testing

I followed deano's instructions to the letter and i am also not able to compile my language

I am using Fescennia template, the free one.

Anybody has any other ideas?

I just installed on test site running trunk 14904 compiled on first try...

I never had a problem getting forum to compile until the 7.03 upgrade.  I have no customizations to the forum module.  Does anyone else know when the compile stopped working for them?  Upgrade only?

do you have the template css and xls folder and the file params.php in the /modules/boonex/forums/layout folder for each template?

Yes, those folders are there.  I've tried all of the permissions.

When using Modules > Orca Forum to access the ability to compile the language what is the URL?

I'm being directed straight to the forum.  thesite.com/forum/

This is what i did and it works.

Before installing, go to forums/install/langs/ and translate the en.php file into your own language, just a few lines ..

after installing go to forums/layout ... i use fescennia template so i see in the layout folder this

fest_en

I made an exact copy, and named it fest_nl ... Dutch is the language is use, the country code = NL .. thats why fest_nl

inside fest_nl .. open params.php .. change 3 folder names.

then go to  forum/js .. copy the folder EN .. use your country code extension, for germany DE .. Spain ES .. or whatever.

in my folder of forums/js i have the folder EN and NL

same thing in forum/classes

this solution works for me. atleast i have rudementery fix .

rgds,

W//

My site is in english.  No customizations to forums, no edits to forums, no third party templates are being used.  Just raw Boonex.

Had something to do with the 7.03 upgrade and 7.04 didn't correct.  I'm stumped.

http://yoursite.com/forum/?action=goto&manage_forum=1

for some reason they moved it here.. I guess to keep us busy. lol

see photo for menu shot

It was the link.

After adding ?action=goto&manage_forum=1 to the url I was able to manage the forum and compile the language.

This would seem to be a bug maybe in 7.03 patch that isn't corrected when using the 7.04 patch.

Thanks for the help Newton27.

your welcome.

I hope they change this...

Hi All... can any of you shed some light on my issue. I upgraded from 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 to 7.0.2 and my Forum gives me an error = "Profle Not Available For View"... I have tried everything, but no fix. It's stressing me out. Any suggestions?

Whats your website address?

All,

I found the issue. Apparently Forum 7.0.2 does not like script ads. I removed the script and the forum works now. Thanks for your help.

Trish

Thanks deano92964 you post help me a lot

 I have spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out.  I have been reading all over the forums trying all the suggestions.  It was Deano's suggestion that did the trick.  It works just right now.  Thanks Deano!

i have same problem, can't get rid of them.......please help

Hi ,

Only for complement, in my case, I had included more line than necessary between lines in code of modules/boonex/forum/layout/base.

When this  line was excluded , the compile of forum was like a charm. 

My site = Dolphin 7.1.4 newly installed.

2 languages = 1 Asian , 1 English

Language pack I bought from Expert from Market place along with the Master String Editor for 100$

Everything works fine, except the forum. I have the option to compile Russian and English but not MY language from the package I bought. Why the fuck I need Russian there anyway? 

I think they should spend a little more time to invest in phpbb3, it's universal, great support and everybody loves it.  Since the price of Dolphin is skyrocketing, they should make something worth while. What the hell would use Orca, the shitty forum software now aday anyway? Old people should learn to adapt.
