Using another text/string

February 25, 2018, 01:50:13 am

Hi!

I "splitted" the information about the number of likes in the user info in portal into two parts, because there will be a break in this portalblock, if someone has given or recieved more than 99 likes:

The first line shows now the likes the user has given, the second line the likes the user has recieved:

Code: [Select]

if ($data['show_likes'])
		{
			echo '
			    <li ', sp_embed_class('dot'), '>
					', $txt['likes'], ': <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;area=showlikes;sa=given;u=', $user_info['id'], '">', $data['member_info']['likes']['given'], ' <span ', sp_embed_class('given'), '></span></a>
				</li>
				<li ', sp_embed_class('dot'), '>
					', $txt['likes'], ': <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;area=showlikes;sa=given;u=', $user_info['id'], '">', ' <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;area=showlikes;sa=received;u=', $user_info['id'], '">', $data['member_info']['likes']['received'], ' <span ', sp_embed_class('received'), '></span></a>
				</li>';
		}

Is it possible to change this $txt['likes'] in the second line in the user info?

The german translation for "likes" is "Gefällt mir", which means "I like it" .
It would be nice to use another text in the second line, something like "recieved", "They like it" or "liked by others".

How can I use or create another string for this line?

Do you need the string to work both in English and German?
If no then just replace:

Code: [Select]

	', $txt['likes'], ':

with:

Code: [Select]

	like received:

If instead you need it to work witg English, then it's a bit more complicated.
Fist you use for example:
$txt['sp_like_received']
instead of the $txt['likes'] in the second row.
The you edit the English sp language file and add at the end:

Code: [Select]

$txt['sp_like_received'] = 'likes received';

then you edit the German file and do the same wusing the German text:

Code: [Select]

$txt['sp_like_received'] = 'german text goesbhere';

Thank you very much for the explaination, Emanuele!

I took the second possibillity and added it in the language files...very easy to do, if you know, how to do it.
