Released 1.0.9, which is updated for phpBB 3.0.2.

Hi Evil,
I made a French translation of your script, however I still have a problem with this part includes/ qi_config

Code: Select all

   'site_name'         => 'Forum de test',
   'site_desc'         => 'Forum de test de Mods',

your script doesn't create those names in French, it's still the default ones

[igorw]

What excactly is the problem? You edited qi_config but it's not showing up?

[Elglobo]

In my case, the script use language variable defined in /language/{QI_LANG}/install.php:

Code: Select all

   'CONFIG_SITE_DESC'            => 'Description de votre forum',
   'CONFIG_SITENAME'            => 'votredomaine.com',

So variables in qi_config.php seem to be ignored ...

[igorw]

Yes they are ignored, because it's supposed to be set by the admin, not by the language.

[Elglobo]

Evil,

Indeed, 'site_name' & 'site_desc' variable in includes/qi_config.php aren't used by the script.
The new board is created with 'site_name' & 'site_desc' défined in my french language pack.
Is it normal ? If yes what is the interest of this variables in config file ?

----- ----- ----- ----- ----- -----

As I already said you by PM, it would be interesting that the script support multi language.
First of all, adding a dropdown for selecting the language available.

In the beginning, I thought that it would be better to create a config file for variables wich differ according to the language , to put this variables actually in includes/qi_config in a specific language file.

There were only this variables concerned by this idea:

Code: Select all

   'site_name'         => 'Testing Board',
   'site_desc'         => 'eviLs testing hood',
   'default_lang'      => 'en',

Finally, I think that the two first variables (site_name & site_desc) are useless, because they are already defined in any language package, and the third can become also useless with the dropdown.

So, if we add a dropdown list for selecting the language, and we remove this variables, this script could be support multi language easily.

What do you think ?

[igorw]

Hi,

I don't think you quite get my point. I added the variables to qi_config.php for a reason, and that is to allow the user to customise his default values. Not to limit translation. One of the language files is taken directly from phpBB.

However, it seems you are correct that they are not used at all, so i might consider removing them alltogether.

And yes, i will consider adding a language dropdown. This is the first time somebody's translated this, so thanks for going through that with me.
