1: Need help for german translation of lars-blogger
Posted by Thomas Rathjen on 04/29/04 04:29 PM
I need help for the translation of the lars-blogger package into the german language. I am running openacs 5.0.4 final on aolserver 4 and postgresql 7.3.4 and use lars-blogger 1.0.2 My problem is to translate the date output defined in
  • blog.posted_time_pretty
  • blog.entry_date_pretty and
  • months.date_pretty
Is there an easy way to solve this problem.

p.s.
Feel free to visit my website www.com4biz.de (currently still in beta testing)

Look at item 7 in https://openacs.org/doc/openacs-HEAD/i18n-convert.html.
If you end up internationalizing the date-handling in lars-blogger, which would be a nice first step, please submit patches.

thank you for the help!

all works fine, except the translation of the months.date_pretty output.

I don´t know what goes wrong, but if I change the code as described in the documentation I get an error message.

what I have done:

add to blog-months.tcl
set months(date_pretty) [lc_time_fmt $months(date_ansi)]

change in blog-months-postgresql.xql
to_char(date_trunc('month', entry_date), 'fmMonthfm YYYY') as date_pretty,

to

to_char(date_trunc('month', entry_date), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') as date_ansi,

I get this error message

"Error in include template "/var/lib/aolserver/com4biz/packages/lars-blogger/www/blog-months": can't read "months(date_ansi)": no such variable"

Do you pass down the variable to blog-months? And did you look at blog-months as well whether you need to change things there as well?

blog-months-postgresql.xql

?

Yes, after changing the xql file I restartet the server.

what I have done since my last post:

updated to lars-blogger 2.0d3

add to blog-months.tcl
set date_pretty [lc_time_fmt $date_ansi "%B"]

change in blog-months.adp
@months.date_pretty@ to @date_pretty@

the result is, that all archiv month are displayed with the same month name (the first month with an entry)

???

I think you problem is that you are dealing with a multirow (months) but only query a one dimensional variable for setting and getting the pretty_name. If you work on it next time, hang out on IRC and people might give you better explanation and help than this....
