I want to change the plugin from Gifts to Recommendations. I have been through the languages and changed anything that says Gifts to Recommendations.

When I look at a user's profile I see the "Send Recommendation" box which is cool cos then the language edit worked.

However in the user profile I still see a box saying "GIFTS"

Where can I change the text for that box? And can it be done in a way that no hard coding of files is needed as I want to rpeserve the site after updates.

Check "The Language" option at your admin panel, and search for "GIFTS" and edit it.

I have done that and replaced everything with the word Gift in it.
The problem is that AFTER I have done the the panel within a user profile still shows as Gifts (and a wee heart).

Probably a language key missing or something...

Do you mean this in user profile?
Leader
Michael Jul 16 '11
Yes. Like that! I am trying to find a language key to change that!
I don't like hard coding files because as updates come they will get overwritten and I have a habit of forgetting where I stuck things!

The language key is: {text key='virtualgifts+gifts'}

I checked that key and I have renamed it but it us still showing gifts on the user profile.

If I change this language key it looks like that:

My language key...

and what the user sees...




Funny. I have also noticed that when I do a fresh development install in the questions for joining there is a display of a "question" saying JOIN DATE.
My site is at 1.1.1 and so is the fresh install but my site doesn't show that.
So it looks like my gifts plugin didn't install right???

Maybe. Try to re-install it, because sometimes it helps :)

I did 1/2 that. Just removed it :) Not really what I was looking for anyway.

Another thing you can do is:

1) Deinstall the plugin
2) Before you upload it again edit the language file manually
3) Reinstall the plugin

I am actually looking for a way people can appraise eachother for a good job. Ultimately I want a member to send a reference to another member, the receiving member to acknowledge/refuse it and all acknowledged references are viewable by others in a "reference" area searchable by the reveiver username. I was looking for a short method using Gifts but not really for me.

Maybe this is something similar: http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/53
But you could also add a "Job" at Oxwall market (http://www.oxwall.org/market)

I have that many things I would like to see I am waiting for Oxwall to mature with many plugins.

The only downfall is the customisation of the pack. Once more people adopt and create content for Oxwall it will take off. It IS the best free social website install I have seen!

This is something like "black spots" in oxwall structure :) And we reduced it with any next update.
The issue is:
While you don't press "Save" in any widget's settings (on dashboard, my profile, site index), script takes widget's label from language settings and you can change this value from Admin Panel->Language. But when you press "Save", widget's label and al other settings will be taken from special "Settings" tables. Because currently scripts do not recognize were settings changed or not.
That's why when you reinstall plugin, all widget's settings are removed and you are able to change widget's label from admin panel->languages section.
So, when you change this label in languages, all profiles who has pressed "Save" will still see and old label.

We will fix it after upcoming update.
