@tsabar,
the widget remain in english because the translation is missing.
The hebrew version on GlotPress, where BP picks the automatic translation in your language is not completly translated (64%).
Download it and finish the translation on your computer. BP comes with a buddypress.pot file which you must use to do this. And use poEdit or a similar software.
Concerning the widget, you have to translate this string in the po file:
<a href=\"%s\" title=\"Register for a new account\">Register</a>
Aside, bp and po files are always in UTF8.
If you save a po file in ANSI, you have to use exclusively ANSI without BOM (.txt format and evtl. change the file extension to your need)
To generate the mo file, you must use a compiler like poEdit.
Also avoid to hack core files and don’t make a translation on the admin side.
I’ll find more details around how to translate in some previous topics, since 2.1 is out.
thanx that worked 🙂
but if i shouldn’t hack core files, where do i correct the width of the login input fields which are too long for my sidebar?
This is a cosmetic question which can be solved by CSS from within your child-theme.
https://buddypress.org/support/topic/change-textbox-size/
i tried adding the following code to my active theme’s style.css file but it didn’t work. should i be adding it to a specific buddypress file?
.mytextbox {
width: 100%;
}
try this: (! mytextbox is an example name, not the the one used by your site probably)
.mytextbox {
width: 100%!important;
}
Read attentively the topic i mentionned you. 😉
d-uh 🙂
any chance you can tell me from my code below which is the right name to substitute instead of .mytextbox ?
would it be bp-login-widget-user-login and bp-login-widget-user-pass ?
(relatively new to css, sorry)
<div class="block">
<div class="block-border">
<div class="block-content">
<div id="bp_core_login_widget-3" class="widget widget_bp_core_login_widget buddypress widget">
<h4 class="widgettitle"></h4>
<div class="widgetcontent">
<form name="bp-login-form" id="bp-login-widget-form" class="standard-form" action="/wp-login.php" method="post">
<label for="bp-login-widget-user-login">שם משתמש</label>
<input type="text" name="log" id="bp-login-widget-user-login" value="" width="10" />
Don’t know your code !
The BuddyPress login widget code looks like this: (source:/buddypress/bp-core/bp-core-widgets.php)
<form name="bp-login-form" id="bp-login-widget-form" class="standard-form" action="<?php echo esc_url( site_url( 'wp-login.php', 'login_post' ) ); ?>" method="post">
<label for="bp-login-widget-user-login"><?php _e( 'Username', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
<input type="text" name="log" id="bp-login-widget-user-login" class="input" value="" />
<label for="bp-login-widget-user-pass"><?php _e( 'Password', 'buddypress' ); ?></label>
<input type="password" name="pwd" id="bp-login-widget-user-pass" class="input" value="" />
<div class="forgetmenot"><label><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="bp-login-widget-rememberme" value="forever" /> <?php _e( 'Remember Me', 'buddypress' ); ?></label></div>
<input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="bp-login-widget-submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Log In', 'buddypress' ); ?>" />
<?php if ( bp_get_signup_allowed() ) : ?>
<span class="bp-login-widget-register-link"><?php printf( __( '<a href="%s" title="Register for a new account">Register</a>', 'buddypress' ), bp_get_signup_page() ); ?></span>
<?php endif; ?>
</form>
You hardcoded several things.
<label for="bp-login-widget-user-login">שם משתמש</label>
and
<input type="text" name="log" id="bp-login-widget-user-login" value="" width="10" />
Be warned that such hacks will be overwriten at next BuddyPress or theme update.
Modifications should only be done in a child theme.
Begin to remove width=”10″ to fit to the original code. And see if this change something. If not, try
input#bp-login-widget-user-login {
width: 100%!important;
}
that worked!
thanx for the great support! very appreciated 🙂
You’re welcome. Glad you got it to work ! 😉
