How change tab label "New Feed"?

[Michael Eisenwasser]

@milena “wall” and “my likes” and “news feed” should be translating correctly now, in v1.0.4

See: https://www.buddyboss.com/release-notes/buddyboss-wall-1-0-4/

Hi @Michael, thanks. It worked.

I still have a problem with the slug “%s posted an update”.

When the wall plugin is turned on- the translated slug is being cut – and all that shows up is “s”.
If I turn the wall plugin off- I get the buddypress translation – and it’s all good.
I think it is connected to the fact that the wall plugin is trying to say “You posted this” and the buddypress says “Milena posted this”. There is a mismatch.
For my language purposes “Milena posted this” is more coherent. Can this be fixed?
I would like to use the wall plugin in the site.

Please take a look.

all the 3 examples are in the 3 last status updates. the 3rd one- the one that works and looks right was posted with the wall plugin off.

[Milena]

@tjchester- can you take a look at this too?

[Milena]

@tjchester, @michael- did anyone see my last comment? I am sure this is a bug, I tested it over and over again. It looks too weird for me just to let it be- or I have to not use the wall – and then what was all this hard work for ?

TJ – just let me know which line to erase in the php. I can do without this slug within the wall plugin- the buddypress translation is fine.
I don’t want it to say- you posted this. I think- hope deleting this part will solve the “s” bug.

@milena sorry, I did not see your mention of me. Line 129 of buddyboss-media/includes/wall-hooks.php

[Milena]

Hi @tjchester,

I found the file – it’s in buddyboss-wall/includes/wall-hooks.php

I think it is more a function issue than a string. I found this code (line 45 of wall-hooks.php) and I think I need it to be the OLD way : “Without this formatting it would say:
// [username] posted an update to [group name]”

Can you help me- and tell me which part exactly to remove? And where do I put the file in the child theme,
just general folder buddyboss-child/wall-hooks.php
of same path as in the plugin
buddyboss-child/plugins/buddyboss-wall/includes/wall-hooks.php ?

/ This section formats a group status update
  //
  // If you're looking at your own activity it should say:
  // You posted an update to [group name]
  //
  // Without this formatting it would say:
  // [username] posted an update to [group name]
  //
  // That doesn't make sense when you're looking at your own activity stream
  if ( bp_is_my_profile() && $current_activity->component === 'groups' &&
       (int)$current_activity->user_id === bp_loggedin_user_id() )
  {
    $to_replace = bp_core_get_userlink( bp_loggedin_user_id() );

    $you_text   = sprintf( '<span class="buddyboss-you-text">%s</span>', __( 'You', 'buddyboss-wall' ) );

    $bbwall_action = str_replace( $to_replace, $you_text, $action );

A photo of what I mean and a new bug.

I need “you” to be a link to a user’s profile again (it is not translatable otherwise)

and for some reason the time shows up twice.

[Alyssa]

@milena it doesn’t make sense to link to a users own profile so I can’t classify this as a bug, but you can try this code to replace the username with You, however, I cannot support this. I’m not sure if it works.
Replace this:
$bbwall_action = str_replace( $to_replace, $you_text, $action );
with this:
$bbwall_action = str_replace( bp_core_get_userlink( bp_loggedin_user_id(), $no_anchor = true ), $you_text, $action );
There may be formattign errors, or it may not work at all.

[Milena]

I just want to go back to the buddypress way of doing it. They don’t have “you” just the “username”. So I need to remove the special code buddyboss added to “make sense”. For the language that I am using – “you” – followed by a general “posted something” slug doesn’t work grammatically. “He posted” is different from “you posted”. So I am screwed, and this is a minor thing. I’ll try what you suggested. Please read my comment- maybe you can just ask the developers what to remove. Thank you.

[Milena]

Hi @tjchester, I tried that, messed up the site. I also tried removing this file all together, site went blank. I understand you can’t support this. Maybe @michael can help us out? I need to remove the php part that changes “user” posted this to “you” posted this. (wall-hooks.php) This buddyboss wall add-on is generally a good idea and makes more sense, but doesn’t work grammatically in my language. I can’t leave it like and launch. Hope there is something to be done. Thank you

[Alyssa]

@milena to go back to BP way then replace this line:
$bbwall_action = str_replace( $to_replace, $you_text, $action );
with this:
$bbwall_action = $action;

[Milena]

That works awesomely ! Thank you @tjchester!!

Now how do I save the file from future updates?

I tried placing it in
1. buddyboss-child
2. buddyboss-child/plugins/buddyboss-wall/includes
3. buddyboss-child/buddyboss-wall/includes

nothing has effect. just the original file in the plugin
wp-content/plugins/buddyboss-wall/includes

[Alyssa]

@milena further down in the same file find this text:
$action = str_replace($myprofile_link, __( 'You', 'buddyboss-wall‘ ), $action);`
replace with:
$action = $action;

Further down this:
$action = str_replace( '%INITIATOR%', __( 'You', 'buddyboss-wall‘ ), $action);`
with this:
$action = str_replace( '%INITIATOR%', $myprofile_link, $action);

PS: These are for the regular wall and not just groups like the other text.

I’ll have to get back to you on the child theme location to be upgrade safe

[Milena]

Hi @tjchester,

the last two code edits come out like this (photo attached)

%INITIATOR% mentioned 2 people 23 minutes ago

[Alyssa]

@milena sorry about that, my copy function did not function properly. They weren’t supposed to be the same. I fixed the code above, please let me know if that fixes it. (slight chance it doesn’t)
