BuddyPress.org

@icepin while I write all my code as text domain translatable and if a plugin provide for a languages file lookup I would hardly ever really call the above ‘easy’ when a user simply needs to change one little character and where we’re not talking about a distributed theme or plugin.

@idavidson

The file that contains that translatable string is register.php if your theme is running bp in theme compatibility mode then the file being used lives in /bp-templates/bp-legacy/buddypress/members/

However you are NOT advised to edit theme files residing in the core plugin, if you wish to directly edit a template file you must make a child theme of the theme you are using and copy the template files over and edit in the child theme.

instruction for that may be found in the BP codex, and child theme creating guides in the WP codex.

N.B. Any criticism of the above grammar or general syntax will be ignored! 🙂

@hnla Your suggestion for custom changes is on the mark.

However, the correction suggested by @idavidson is really a “bugfix” that should be applied to the software being packaged and offered.

@hnla Ok, good opportunity for me to learn how Trac works. How do I submit a patch? Just edit the file and create a diff and upload that?

@sooskriszta Yes essentially. Ensure you have a checkout of trunk and that has update run to keep it current, then update a file and create a diff from that file created from the root of the plugin and as mercime says don’t forget to check your changes locally.

@sooskriszta
1. first create a folder in your hard drive e.g. buddypresstrunk/
2. Open that folder and then right-click and click on SVN Checkout in box which shows up
3. Then enter the link I gave above for BuddyPress trunk in the “URL Repository” input field which shows up and click OK button
4. Watch as files are added into that empty folder

Here goes: https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5195

We’ll see more patches from you in the future, yes?

@mercime I hope so.

You should be able to run a tortoise checkout with this url.
https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk

@hnla For the patch I submitted, I had used https://buddypress.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/ Should I use https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk instead? Do the 2 URLs point to different resources?

editing the pot file not working still the same text “Registering for this site is easy, just fill in the fields below and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.”” plz suggest
