• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Fileupload tranlation

Hello

My Joomla 3.4.4 site is multi language - french and english at this moment
In my form I have a fileupload element
The "select-file-thing" always shows up in french : "Choisissez un fichier" and "Aucun fichier choisi" even when I'm on the English page
How can I get on the english page the right text meaning :
"Select File"
"No File selected"

Thanks!
 
I presume you are referring to the standard file upload (none ajax), in which case those strings are written by your browser independently of the site's language.
Anyone using an english version of the browser will see the text in English
 
Ok I understand
I changed to ajax and this works - Thanks!

But I have now 2 other problems :
In the form I entered a Success message as a string to tranlsate : FABRIK_SEND_SUCCESS1
When I choose the english version of the site and submit I get the french success message ?!

An the file upload render is not "dynamic" - is there a way to make the height change when the user adds files - see image :

with default height & width :

with height set to 30:

We simply run that message through J!'s language API, with JText::_(). So any issues with translation are probably with the way you have your custom translations set up.

-- hugh
 
Hmm - I just verified again - and can't see whats wrong - sorry :

In the form I define the success message :
fabrikformlang01a.png


In Language overrides I translate for en & fr :

fabrikformlang01b.png


fabrikformlang01c.png


And in the browser on my site .../en/... I get all other texts translated in english, but not the success message :

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
