Forum labels still look funcky after recompilation

Hi team,

I have searched and found several post and answers about getting rid of the "ugly" forum labels. I have followed the advice to recompile the languages. I've successfully done that for all the modules 3 times and have cleared the cache.... and the forums tabs still look the same (ugly labels).

Please, any other suggestion you may have to fix this? I'm going live today and this is the only thing is still not working as it's supposed to. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

For the forum, recompiling in the admin panel does not work.  Log into your site as admin.  Go the forum and you should see a menu item on the forum "Manage Forum".  Click on that link and you will see a recompile language for each language installed on the forum.  That should fix things.

If you need additional help let me know.

Excellent. It worked. Thanks a lot.  I have one more question though. There is a link "Compile Language: ru" I think it's russia but it's cut off. How can I hide it, since my site will have English/Spanish? And how can I make the spanish available. I bough a module that has Forum in Spanish?

Thanks so much again!

I am unsure of the procedure to add a language to the forum; I am not sure the import language in the admin will add to the forum or not.  I have never added a language to the forum; If you uninstall the forum, you will lose all the boards that you have set up.

Maybe someone else will come in but you may need to start a new forum top on this.  Have you search the forum for adding a new language to the Orca forum?

Compile Language: ru

It's not cut off. Thats the entire thing. ru is the two letter code for Russian. Just as en is the two letter code for English.

If your seeing that link there, it means you have the Russian language module installed. If you do not want Russian installed, go to the modules add and manage and remove it.

If you did not know you added it, my guess is you just selected all the modules and installed them without even looking at what your installing. There are several modules that come standard with dolphin that many sites don't need and should not be installed.

He is referring to the forum itself, he wants to remove the Russian language from the forum and add Spanish.  What is the procedure for adding a language to the forum without reinstalling the forum?

Russian is on my forum but I just ignore it; however, I am unsure about adding a language to the forum once it is installed.

Guess i was wrong. I could have sworn in the past that if the russian language module is not installed then that forum link will not be there. But i guess it is. Easy to remove. Just remove the lang files.

Remove modules/boonex/forum/install/langs/ru.php

And

Remove modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/langs/ru.php

If the language was compiled then there will be other things to remove. If it was compiled then remove the following.

Remove the folder modules/boonex/forum/classes/ru
Remove the folder modules/boonex/forum/js/ru
Remove all folders in modules/boonex/forum/layout/ that end in _ru

Installing a language is a simple matter of placing the language files included with the language pack in the folders stated in the instructions that come with it.

Usally in modules/boonex/forum/install/langs/ and modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/langs/

Once those language files have been uploaded a compile link will appear in the manage forum area so it can be compiled.

But you don't follow my procedure. You follow the procedure provided by the developers instructions unless you making your own.

I guess for the forum that it installs the languages that are included in the install directory.  I know when I installed Dolphin I did not install any languages.  I installed the forum and the Russian language was on the menu.

Excellent. I removed the below since Russian language was not compiled.

modules/boonex/forum/install/langs/ru.php

And

Remove modules/boonex/forum/integrations/base/langs/ru.php

Then, a link to compile the Spanish languages showed up, and I did compiled it. Yay!!!!!! It seemed the module I bought did have Spanish for the forum.

Thanks you so much all of you. You guys rock!!!

Good luck on your site launch.
