Localization / Re: German language files (informal) for 1.1.9
Last post by Ruth -
Thank you, Spuds, it is working now on both forums.

I am a bit confused at the moment, because in the german permission file (line 64 to 70) and in the german help file there are still a couple of (old/wrong?) words and explainations about global and local permissions, also one is in the english help file. "Global" and "Local" are no more used as words in the english permission file, but in the german file they are still there:

english:
Code: [Select]
$txt['permissions_modify_group'] = 'Modify Group';
$txt['permissions_general'] = 'General Permissions';
$txt['permissions_board'] = 'Default Board Profile Permissions';
$txt['permissions_board_desc'] = '<strong>Note</strong>: changing these board permissions will affect all boards currently assigned the &quot;Default&quot; permissions profile. Boards not using the &quot;Default&quot; profile will not be affected by changes to this page.';
$txt['permissions_commit'] = 'Save changes';
$txt['permissions_on'] = 'in profile';
$txt['permissions_local_for'] = 'Permissions for group';

german:
Code: [Select]
$txt['permissions_modify_group'] = 'Gruppe ändern';
$txt['permissions_general'] = 'Generelle Berechtigungen';
$txt['permissions_board'] = 'Globale Board-Berechtigungen';
$txt['permissions_board_desc'] = 'Bitte beachte, dass Änderungen am Standard-Profil sämtliche Boards betreffen, denen dieses Profil zugeordnet ist.';
$txt['permissions_commit'] = 'Änderungen speichern';
$txt['permissions_on'] = 'im Profil';
$txt['permissions_local_for'] = 'Lokale Berechtigungen für die Gruppe';

For example this is wrong on line 292 in the german permission file, the english string tells it different and correct:
Code: [Select]
$txt['permission_by_board_desc'] = 'Hier kannst du einstellen, ob ein Board die globalen Berechtigungen benutzt oder ein anderes Berechtigungsprofil verwendet. Solltest du lokale Berechtigungen verwenden, kannst du im betreffenden Board für jede Benutzergruppe individuelle Berechtigungen angeben.';

Code: [Select]
$txt['permission_by_board_desc'] = 'Here you can set which permission profile a board uses. You can create new permission profiles from the &quot;Edit Profiles&quot; menu.';

Things are different since a long time now. "Global" is now  called "Default" and the "Standard Permission Profile" belongs to it. There is still a sort of "Local Permissions", but they are created and used different now. It is no more possible to change any permissions for a member group directly in a board, for example. This has to be done with another "permission profile" now, which is used in this board.

I am not sure, what to do now. There are some more strings with german expressions and explainations, which sound wrong to me. They might irritate or confuse people, which are looking for help about the permissions. I could explain things a bit more or just remove this old german helptexts and translate all this strings new? The same english strings are telling less and a bit different things.

But this english string in the helpfile (on line 496) is also not really "up to date"? It should tell about "default" or "standard" instead of "global"?

Code: [Select]
$helptxt['permissions_board']  = 'If a board is set to \'Global,\' it means that the board will not have any special permissions.  \'Local\' means it will have its own permissions - separate from the global ones.  This allows you to have a board that has more or less permissions than another, without requiring you to set them for each and every board.';

I hope, that this is not another bug....

I am working on the permission file at the moment. While controlling everything on test forum I noticed,
that this button "edit all" on the top and the bottom in this list of all boards does not react anymore?

I split this out ....

It should be fixed now.  All of the button code was consolidated in the controllers, previously there was all sorts of checks done in the templates which is the wrong place for that level of logic/checking.

Anyway in doing that the button was showing when it should not have been.  I  did not t work when it was not supposed to in my testing.

This probably isn't the correct place to mention this @Spuds . When viewing the View All Recent Posts function, the Remove button is available as though I would have moderator abilities. Or is this a different behavior than admining our own forums?

Great Minds Think Alike, @badmonkey .

BTW, yes, the remove function is shown as you state and I do not recall if  it was there before Spuds tweaked the code for the Likes/Quickbuttons issue. If it was, I just presumed is was to remove the post from the latest post list.
Bad news - nay, it's apparently not.
Good news - thou art smited mightily if thou push it without Divine Privilege - or at least ownership.  (why your post remains in the list to this day)

Reminds me of 4th grade Catholic School. Sister Mary Elephant would leave little temptations around and thwack us with a ruler if we bit on the bait. (In case you wonder why I switched to Zen Buddhism - contrary to rumors it had nothing to do with the Monk's foxy daughter, I swear.. )

The remove button is also to see for guests there in every post.

I tried to delete a test post of mine there as a guest a few days ago. It did not work.
But after logging in, my post was gone then.

I didn't even notice that QR could be minimized, the up/down chevron for that is pretty faint and, since I've used my eyes intensely all my life they're pretty worn out now, so apparently I just didn't notice it..

Very good, Spuds..
