Event Listing 2 template translation

Hello,
My websites language is Polish and I want to use "Event Listing 2" template on K2 category list. Unfortunately in this view all information (day of week, month, read more) are displaying in English. When you go to the front page - "latest events" is OK, when you go to the event - everything's cool. But when I use "event_listing2" as in category view, I still have English details.


What should I do to fix it?

My url is http://www.goksezam.pl/14

Hi

You need to translate K2 component. Just look for a translated language file on the web or copy english polish language folder and translate.

Hi, I have the same problem.

I tried to translate languaje files from k2 and still display in English. At frontpage and article view the date is OK.

If I remove category_item.php from: gk_university/html/com_k2/templates/events_listing2/ the date is corectly displayed but I loose the style.

Can you help us?
Thank you

Hi

Please tell me the url to the exact page with this date and tell me which one is it.

Hi

I have the same problem.

Tried to edit different K2 and Joomla language files in which I could find the english words related to dates, weekdays etc.

I have installed the latest version of the Joomla University template. Like mentioned in this tread the weekdays etc. shows correctly (in danish) on the frontpage but not when displaying a list of events, using 'Event_Listing2' template settings.

The site is still offline, why I can't provide a link.

Thanks in advance

Hi

I'm looking at code in /html/com_k2/templates/events_listing2/category_item.php and there is no date format used here. So I believe it's being pulled directly from item as it was entered. Please compare syntax in category layout and event alone.

Hi again

I have checked the relevant items and category, but in my view there seems to be no problems. But I might be wrong.

Could the language used in the mentioned category-view be related to the geografical location of the server in any way..

No matter the reason I really need your assistance in terms of having dates, weekdays etc. shown in danish instead of english.

All the best & thanks beforehand

Hi

I cannot see Your site, but I've just checked @JarekHM site. Please look here http://www.goksezam.pl/event/item/366-s ... erowo.html

He used a date format He needed and module displayed same used in k2 item.

Hi

I found a PM from You about this thread. But when I visit Your site date format looks ok. Was using the desired format in content a good answear ? Or You did something else ?

Hi

The issue is not solved yet as the event information still shows in english and not danish.. Does it show in danish at your end?

PS: Furthermore I have a problem with the calendar function, as the calendar shows that there is an event the 12th of may, eventhough it is the 13th of may! If I click on the 12th I will be redirected to the event that is set to be held the 13th.

Hi

Calendar is not related with events. It's a K2 extension displaying a day when K2 item was created, so You can see all articles from one day.

For the date language. Look here: https://demo.gavick.com/joomla25/univer ... e-features
Date is set in articles with a HTML code, so You should just be able to simply use Your names there instead.

Hi

Thank you for the answer. I now understand what controls the calendar - although I need to set 'created-date' to the 14th if I want it to show on the 13th. Hmm?

I regards to the language-issue the link provided didn't help me, as I still can't figure out what to change and where.

To sum up:
- I have edited the language-files in order to make 'ons'(wednesday in danish) show instead of 'wed' etc. The date-info shows correctly at the frontpage, but not in category listing.
- I have looked at the code in the specific K2 item, and can't seem to grasp what to change to correct the issue.

I have uploaded two attachments this time.

One shows how events show in category-listing:

The other shows the code from the K2 item:

Hi

You can see there is a "13 maj.." in the html there, so in K2 item edition change to the date format You want, what matter is this datetime="13-05-215" rest is an ordinary text.

About the date differences it may be a K2 issue related with different time set to server and database. Unfortunatelly using the later/earlier dates is the only way I know to work this around.

Hi,
i have same problem but I still don't understand what is the solution.

Here is an events list http://www.aregoladarteassociazione.it/ ... tiche.html and the date is shown in english; i want the italian translation. i have the correct translation of k2, i also tried to force manually the k2 english string (es. replace K2_FRI="Fri" with K2_FRI="Ven" in en-GB.com_k2 file but maybe the compontent don't take the scring from this file.

can you help me?

tnx

Hi

I think it's a little different case. If You mean the date in square: "Thu Oct 15" than it's being generated with date() php function, so names are picked up directly from server. If You want this to be in Italian than server has to be configured to that as well.

Have the same problem in Spanish. can't figure out why it works OK in the frontpage, but it does not in the category list., what is the diference between both displays?. Also in category I see when: instead of a translated option.
has to be in the code

Or maybe the variables have a diferent name and missing in the .ini?

Hi

This option is not using translation from .ini file, but a standard date() function attributes. If it's showing different language names than I believe it got overwritten in php for category already. Most probably using this function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php

Try using same function, but globally in /layout/default.php file.

Hi

I cannot see Your site, but I've just checked @JarekHM site. Please look here http://www.goksezam.pl/event/item/366-s ... erowo.html

He used a date format He needed and module displayed same used in k2 item.

OK but my problem isn't solved yet. I've got the correct daynames on the frontpage and on the event page. But if I set up 'event listings 2' on the category view - the names of days are still English (and that's why I use 'event listings1 on "wydarzenia" category list)

Here is the printscreen: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=DC4A8ACA40ECAE5E!371&authkey=!AGgmhnL379-kNYc&v=3&ithint=photo%2cpng

Hi

I've checked the code and here script is using function strftime() as in it's description language can be forced by using setlocale()

http://php.net/manual/pl/function.strftime.php

try add Your locale info above file /html/com_k2/templates/events_listing2/category_item.php

How did you manage to have days in your language ?

Thanks

Hi

Names of months and days are taken from server. You may ask Your hosting provider to change location setting or try to add an override for setlocale() function in /layout/default.php

http://php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php

Hi,

Thx for your time, I don't see the point of having it this way. For instance, my web site is multilingual, Romanian and English and if i select the RO language I need to display the whole content in RO, including names of months and days. If I'll change the locale at the server side, when a user will set his language in EN he'll have names of months and days in RO .

Is there any work around this ? Because changing the locale at the server side is not a good ideea.

Many thanks and keep it up with this good work guys !

Hi

http://php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php

Hi

First please check if setlocale() works with this issue. If it does than You can use this function to change locale dynamically after checking what language is selected. It's gonna take some time to implement the code, so I need to be sure if it's worth it, becuase it's possible Your server will overwrite this value dispite of the settings.

Hi,

Thx for your time and suggestion but it doesn't work. What I've tried was :

Code: Select all

$currentLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, NULL);
and
$currentLocale = setlocale(LC_ALL, 0);

under

Code: Select all

$userID = $user->get('id');

in layouts/default.php file, both of them didn't had any effect on lang selection.

I wonder isn't possible to pick up the dates in the list as it picks it up in event page?

Many thanks !

Hi

I think it's not used correctly. My idea was to override server language with setlocale. Like in this example:

Code: Select all

$loc_de = setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE@euro', 'de_DE', 'de', 'ge');


where it changes lang to German. NULL option should reset lang to server default. Of course it can be forced by server even after using this function.

Hi

Here is a good example of what I was going for: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php

Hi,
I had the same problem and couldn't get the solution.
I asked my server and they put
setlocale(LC_TIME,"it_IT");
between
<?php
and
class JConfig {
in the configuration.php

So now it looks like this:
<?php
setlocale(LC_TIME,"it_IT");
class JConfig {

My problem now is, I can't find where to translate "when: "
See image attached (blue circles):

Snapshot.jpg

I have searched a lot of language and php files with "when: " and tried to change them.
But nothing worked.

Thanks for helping!

I would also like to eliminate the "@" and the "-" after the hours.
see attached image (blue circle):

snapshot2.jpg

I use only one day and have cancelled the "how much time left" row.

Thanks again.

I forgot the link to the page:
http://www.teatroscuola.cloud/home/k2-categories

Since the website is public and my client is working with it,
I have changed "when:" using ReReplacer component and plugin.
I would like to find a "real" solution though...

For the same reasons, I have changed also "@ -" using ReReplacer component and plugin.
Even here I would prefer to find a "real" solution though...
