Change of wording below post titles

[thibaud 0]

Hello, Below my post titles there is a "by Thib on 23 June 2011", where can I modify the "by", "on", etc ? I want to put the French version. Same for the wording "XX comments", where can I change it ? Thanks !

Are you using a translation plugin? If so, are those the only words that aren't getting translated? If not, you do you have the child theme, PlatformBase, enabled?

No, i'm not using a translation plugin, and yes, I have PlatformBase enabled. Where can i change this wording ?

Hello, I am requesting the same thing please for a single language website. However, on another website I am using WPML and in the string search this did not appear so that I could translate it. I do have base enable. So I guess I am asking for two things on the same matter. Thank you in advance.

[catrina 103]

Since you have PlatformBase enabled, you can create copies of template files from PlatformPro to PlatformBase and edit them there in order to change the text. The files you'll need to copy over and edit are section.comments.php and section.postsinfo.php

Thank you for your reply I have checked those files and did not see any words "by", "on" so I checked all the other section....php files in the same folder and did not see it either. Am I missing it? I even did a word search

[catrina 103]

Ah, instead go to comments.php and template.postloop.php

Hi Catrina, I can't find where to modify these things... Looking at template.postloop.php, it seeems that I need to look into this function and modify it : pagelines_get_post_metabar(); Where do I modify this function ?

Hello Catrina It's so funny and I must be stupid LOL! I can't find them in those two files either ( comments.php and template.postloop.php). I did a word search in DW and nothing came up.

The function is in platformpro/includes/library.templates.php starting at line 345.

Hi Kastelic, I have modified the file "library.templates.php", but now my blog does not load and I have an error : Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /homez.429/thibinsp/www/blog/wp-content/themes/platformpro/includes/library.templates.php on line 482 I have uploaded back the original file, and... the same error appears !!! I have not changed anything, i really don't understand why i get such error ?! Any idea ? Your quick reply will be appreciated...

I can't even log into my admin panel anymore, and get the same error... How is that possible ???

[kastelic 6]

Did you have the base child theme activated? If so, perhaps you need to overwrite the copy of library.templates.php in there ( you did make a copy I hope.).

[thibaud 0]

Ok, I managed to re-upload all the "includes" directory, back from the original platform pro files. I did the same changes (translation) again, and now it works... I have no idea what happened ! Kastelic : yes, i have child theme (platformbase) activated. I don't understand, am I supposed to copy the original file "library.templates.php" in the child section ? And then only modify this copied file under child theme ? Where exactly do I have to copy this file ? Thanks for your support.

[kastelic 6]

Any file that you want to edit, you can drag that file into the platformbase directory, thus overriding the copy in the main platformpro folder. You have to copy the same folder structure with it (so in this case, the includes folder (not all the files in it, just the folder) ).

Ok, I did copy the structure + the said file in the platformbase directory, however it does not seem to be taken into account. Do I have to name it a certain way, or add something in the code at the beginning ? And I don't see this child file in the editor, is it normal ? Thanks for your help.

Bonus question : where do i change the wording "Comments" under each post title ? It does not seem to be in the same file.

[thibaud 0]

Anyone ?

[catrina 103]

Are you referring to the comments link under the post titles in single post pages?

[Simon 248]

Please do not edit the core files in includes directory. There are filters to edit the output of these functions, thats why they are there. pagelines_post_metabar is the filter you need.

	add_filter('pagelines_post_metabar','my_custom_function');
	function my_custom_function($meta){
	
	//$meta variable holds the meta info, so change it here...
	
	
	
	 // Now send it back to the filter, to be printed on page.
	  return $meta;
	}

catrina : yes. How can I change the wording "XX COMMENTS" into its French equivalent. Where do I change it ? pross : sorry, but i don't understand. Where do I have to add this "filter" ? What variable do I need to change ? I'm surprised (frustrated) that there is no easy way to change these simple things...

[catrina 103]

You'll need to add this filter to the bottom of your functions.php file in PlatformBase. You need to make sure PlatformBase is enabled first before adding the filter (don't add the code to the functions.php file in PlatformPro).

Ok, thanks catrina, I will try and let you know.

[thibaud 0]

Sorry, i don't understand... Can you tell me exactly what code i need to insert in the filter in function.php in PlatformBase... Below is the original function, i just need to change the wording "On" and "By"... Thanks for your support. add_filter('pagelines_post_metabar', 'do_shortcode', 20); function pagelines_get_post_metabar( $format = '' ) { $metabar = ''; if ( is_page() ) return; // don't do post-info on pages if( $format == 'clip'){ $metabar .= sprintf( '%s [post_date] ', __('On','pagelines') ); $metabar .= sprintf( '%s [post_author_posts_link] ', __('By','pagelines') ); } else { if(pagelines_option('byline_author')){ $metabar .= sprintf( '%s [post_author_posts_link] ', __('By','pagelines') ); } if(pagelines_option('byline_date')){ $metabar .= sprintf( '%s [post_date] ', __('On','pagelines') ); } if(pagelines_option('byline_comments')){ $metabar .= '· [post_comments] '; } if(pagelines_option('byline_categories')){ $metabar .= sprintf( '· %s [post_categories]', __('In','pagelines') ); } } $metabar .= ' [post_edit]'; printf( '

%s

', apply_filters('pagelines_post_metabar', $metabar, $format) ); }

I've been following this thread and been very frustrated with the same problem. I found a solution using the CodeStyling Localization plugin in a previous entry and works great! http://www.pagelines.com/forum/discussion/9540/traduction-blog-en-fr#Item_5
