Feedback module - problem after language edit and unable to uninstall

[dennisvr]

Hi,

Yesterday I installed the Feedback module, now after changing a part of the translation using "language edit" the module won't start. I cannot remove the page or feedback section from the page (Admin background and menu, white content square).

So, unfortunately I cannot uninstall the module and reinstall the module.

Can anybody help me solving this problem?

This is what I've done:

- I translated the language file and saved it as NL.php in the language directory
- During testing I noticed some spelling errors
- I went into to "edit language" in admin-settings
- The NL lanuage file was not complete, and I noticed German/English texts which I changed
- I saved the file and the error occured

I assume that the NL langiage file in admin-settings was different from the NL.php file I uploaded with the module.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

Dennis

P.s. I will, ofcourse, upload the Dutch translation after I have finished testing it.

hello weary user...

i had a similar problem while making an Estonian translation.   i am using the "languageedit_v.91" module via the admin-tools.   after using this module to edit "download_gallery_v1 .90" module it stopped working.  i went onto my webserver via FTP and downloaded the newly created ET.php file and the original EN.php file to compare them.  this is the discrepancy that i found at the bottom of the php code....

ENGLISH (working code) 

Code:

$DGTEXT['GPLOOP'] = 'Group Loop';
$DGTEXT['GPFOOTER']    = 'Group Footer';
$DGTEXT['NOGROUP'] = '';
$DGTEXT['SEARCHFILTER'] = 'Search Filter';
$DGTEXT['SEARCHLAYOUT'] = 'Search';
$DGTEXT['NOMATCH'] = 'No Match Found';

ESTONIAN (non-working code)

Code:

$DGTEXT['GPLOOP'] = 'Group Loop';
$DGTEXT['GPFOOTER'] = 'Group Footer';
$DGTEXT['NOGROUP']
$DGTEXT['SEARCHFILTER'] = 'Search Filter';
$DGTEXT['SEARCHLAYOUT'] = 'Search';
$DGTEXT['NOMATCH'] = 'No Match Found';

NOTICE  line #3 ...  for some reason the variable wasnt assigned a value, thus no semi-colon.  i dont know if this would have showed up in ERROR-Reporting because i had it set to E-NONE.  so, i just put in " = ''; "  and  now it works like a charm. 

i hope this helps.

okay my friend...

i was curious about this issue so i tested a translation in the "Feedback" module.  again, compare the code:

GOOD

Code:

define('fb_frontend_comment_header',     '<a href="mailto:%s">%s</a> wrote at %s:');
define('fb_frontend_header',    'We would like to hear your opinion.');

BAD

Code:

define('fb_frontend_comment_header',    '<a href = '\"mailto:%s\">%s</a> written at %s:\\');
';
define('fb_frontend_header',    'We would like to hear your opinion.');

you can see how this is all jacked up.  perhaps the translation module tries to do addslashes() or some magic_quotes crap. 

Perhaps the best option is to edit these translation files manually.  just go to:
/modules/feedback/languages       and you'll see it.     i didn't notice anyone else with these issues while i was browsing the original  thread for the "languageedit" module. so, who knows.   

again, i hope this helps

Hi casinnova,

I still have to try it, but your help is appreciated!

All the best,
