[SOLVED] Comments on "status update" and Tags not showing within CB Activity

Greetings team CB!

First off, thank you for all the hard work your putting into CB. Its a great product! Congratz to the team!

Now, I have read the documentation, viewed the 21 videos(almost) and searched the forums for a resolution but either my problem is a one off or I don't have the right search expression because I couldn't find a similar problem.

In CB Activity, when a user enters a new status, people's comments to the status don't show(see screenshot). Also if I set any tag, the related tag text doesn't show. It shows the actual tag word.


Comments and tags are activated both tabs. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled the addon, didn't change anything.

I have tried to do the same thing with GroupJive and comments show up properly with the date and time and everything.



Thanks in advance!!

That looks like a styling issue causing the text to either be same color as the background are font-size is too small. Switch to default Joomla protostar template and see if issue persists.

Also if I set any tag, the related tag text doesn't show. It shows the actual tag word.

That's because you're translating the substitution, don't do that. If the substitute is [title] then it's [title] no matter what the language is. This is likely a problem in your CB language plugin and caused by whoever translated that string. Switch to default English language to see if issue persists. Note if the activity has stored like that then there's no fixing it unless you manually fix that activity entry.

Ok, I'll look that direction! Thx!

omg I feel like such a noob right now... lol I thought about it but I got the translations from the translation project(i think..) so I didn't expect it to be broken.

That's perfect sir! Thx a lot Kyle!

Please verify if this mistake is in fact in the language file on transifex / our download pages so we can fix it.

My issue with fontsize is solved. The Kyle!

For the substitution tags there was 2 issues:
I have opened the documentation back up as you often suggest and have found I was using an outdated language plugin. I have installed the Transifex language files from your website. It fixed most of the issue except this:

(this is there the name of the people are tagged from that I gathered)

Also, if I understand correctly;

There would be 31% of Groupjivewall-language.php translated correct? That would explain the the remaining english words I was puzzled about. I was looking for groupjive specific language files I might have missed. I will correct them quickly on my end but I also know of Transifex. I havent explored it much before but if the above is the case, I'm already pretty thrilled about what CB will allow me to do and would not mind contributing in a near future. I'm in a push to finish this website but when things settle a bit I would like to contribute a bit that way if I could.

I'm not sure what those were originally supposed to be so I've no idea what they're trying to substitute in. Does switching to English language display them fine or are they stored in the database with those values (you can edit all aspects activity entries from backend).

Correct.
