In 1.9 and earlier we used user defined fields like this:


DEFINE ('cb_english','English (Native)');
DEFINE ('cb_englishok','English (Good)');
DEFINE ('cb_englishbad','English (Poor)');

DEFINE ('cb_german','German (Native)');
DEFINE ('cb_germanok','German (Good)');
DEFINE ('cb_germanbad','German (Poor)');

DEFINE ('cb_dutch','Dutch (Native)');
DEFINE ('cb_dutchok','Dutch (Good)');
DEFINE ('cb_dutchbad','Dutch (Poor)');

DEFINE ('cb_spanish','Spanish (Native)');
DEFINE ('cb_spanishok','Spanish (Good)');
DEFINE ('cb_spanishbad','Spanish (Poor)');

I have tried adding these fields into the original language files and into the language over ride files but they do not display.

If this has now been discontinued, how do we define new fields on a multi lingual site?

Hi dirtydavid!

You need to use the new format of the language files.

So instead of DEFINE statements you would just add your language strings in each language file with keys like:

'Language_key' => 'Translation',

Please see the CB Primer to learn more about language plugins for CB 2.0.

I just cannot get this overwrite plugin worked for GJ 3.0.1 strings.

Maybe because the GJ plugins are at the bottom of the plugin list and executed later? But I cannot get the CB Language Override plugin under the CB GroupJive ... plugins as they are from another type. They are from type "user/user/plug_cbgroupjive/plugins" instead of "user".

So when I add at the end of the array in /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/nl-NL/cbplugin/cbgroupjiveabout-language.php it works fine.

But when I put in /components/com_comprofiler/plugin/language/nl-NL/cbplugin/cblanguageoverride-language.php it doesn't overwrite, while the plugin is enabled.

Any idea what goes wrong here?

Hello,

I'm having exactly the same problem that NicoFaaij describes. Is there some kind of "cblanguageoverride" for the GJ plugins? Or any way to install another "modified" instance of the language override plugin for all of the GJ plugins that allows to put it at the end of those plugins?

By the way this would also be needed for the CB Subs plugins since those are also of a different type and listed below the "CB Language Override" plugin.

Thank you for the help!!

Hi nant.
