Language override question

Hello we need to use substitutions in the following language string...

VIEW_POST_36d0c2 -> View Post

There we want to use substitution like this... [cb:if usergroup includes "9"]Login to view the post[cb:elseif usergroup !includes "9"]View Post[/cb:elseif][/cb:if]

but the output is "[cb:if usergroup includes "9"]Login to view the post[cb:elseif usergroup !includes "9"]View Post[/cb:elseif][/cb:if]". Are we missing something? Thank you.

That string is not passed through substitutions so it's not possible to do that. Ideally whatever URL it's linking to should send them to login instead.

We have used substitutions in lang strings again in the past (Older post of ours: www.joomlapolis.com/forum/professional-members-support/245189-field-label-question?start=18#331817 )

Is it that this particular string can not be substituted, or language string substitutions are not working anymore in latest CB versions?

Ideally whatever URL it's linking to should send them to login instead

This string is shown instead of the cb activity post when flair is enabled for that post.
 

Substitutions are not applied to every language string. That language string, like the majority, is not passed through substitutions. If you want to condition its display you'd need to make a custom template and override the template file. Users aren't required to login to toggle post visibility though so I'm not sure what you're trying to apply is really applicable to the situation.

What we are trying to do...

User uploads an image in his profile gallery tab. That image privacy is registered users only.

The CB Gallery - Create auto action is creating an activity post (that has been assigned a flair. We do not know if the flair assignment works there, we will test).

Case 1
When a user is logged in, the cb activity shows the stream post with a "View Post" button, because of the flair. When "View Post" is clicked the images appear. Perfect!

Case 2
When a guest user is viewing the cb activity, he sees "View Post" on the same stream post, but when the "View Post" is clicked, icon-image.webp appears so the user thinks that something is not working well there! This is why we need to change the language file string there to "Login to view the post" or whatever for the guest users.

You will say "if the uploaded image is for registered users, they should not appear to guests". I agree 100%. We do not want to show the image to guests... we are trying to tease the guest user, so that he registers to our site.

Can we achieve this somehow?

Thank you.

Ok, your Case 2 is basically a bug. They shouldn't see the post at all. The asset check should be checking for permission to see the asset and if that fails it should remove it from the display entirely. Will investigate this further.
