Can't change Language phrase

[proxydesign]

Hello,

It has been around 2 days now where I cant edit a phrase in the language-file (english.php), even though I do changes, it will not appear. It is english as usual.

Strange, because I have tried in other browsers, and the problem is still there... Do you know this problem, I don't say you should know the answer, but if you know why I would love to like why I can't.

Thank you.

are you changing the phrase from the admin panel?

 

[proxydesign]

Trying both, from adminpanel and from the file.

 

[Mark]

Sounds impossible

do you have suPHP or FastCGI?

if not, you need to chmod 777 the languages folder, and 666 the english file. but if your editing via FTP this woudl not matter, your probably editing the wrong phrase.

Thank you. Editing via FTP. No, I am sure that I edit the correct phrase. If I edit the phrase manually (english.php), it shows in the adminpanel too. But, on the website it is still english. Weird, dunno why...

Really its not possible, if you overwrite the file it will work, no other way around it

please post all specifics so we can see what your doing wrong.

what is the phrase name are you editing?
what is the exact path to the file you are editing?
what line # are you making the edit on?
In what template are you looking to see it updated?

The file is being overwrited, yes.

Phrase-name:

$LNG['rate_header'] = 'Ranger og skriv tilbakemelding';

(Rate and Review)
Exact Path:

public_html/languages/english.php

Line: #706
Template: In the rating template (Rate and Review)

Thank you.

 

[Mark]

thanks, now please confirm you are using the old rate/review system?

Template: In the rating template (Rate and Review)

What is the exact name of the template you are looking in? please be clear, we dont have a "rating" template.

 

[proxydesign]

The old review system (sources/details.php) set to 1.

Also, I can't change any phrase, because the edit does not appear. Example

$LNG['main_method'] = 'Ranger topplisten etter:';

If i edit that phrase, the edit would not appear.

 

[proxydesign]

What is the exact name of the template you are looking in? please be clear, we dont have a "rating" template.

I am sorry, that would be rate_form.html in parabola-folder.

 

[Mark]

please send me your URL, FTP and admin login details.

I am having to ask too many questions to get the information I need, I would like to see for myself.

 

[proxydesign]

Sent.

found the problem, you made a custom plugin and put the entire default english.php in that plugin language folder... so your custom phrases are overwritten.

Remove that file (outlined in Private Message) and you will be back to normal.
