I unchecked that option and I thought that as a test user, I would not be able to view my permissions like :

 

Can view a forum
Can view a list of forums only
Can view a list of forums and list of topics only
Can view posts by an administrator
Can start new topics in a forum

 

but I was seeing it.  The complete list is found when looking at profile and Permissions tab.

 

Also, I think that link could be more compact with so many items to list.  I found the CSS about it is :

 

#spMainContainer .spColumnSection {margin: 0; padding: 5px 0; }
 
and I tried to lower the 5px but it affect a few other things on that page.  Personally, with only 1px the list was looking good enough to me, but I would not mind 2px.  wink
 
 
Finally, I translated all those in the Admin file, but everything is still showing up in english question

translated what files??

view permissions?  there is no such permission…  oh, wait… in the options… whoops, that is old and not used in 5.0…  really should be removed from the options…

This in fact…

But I just found out that in the S:P plugin panel they are translated.  I thought those found in user profile would also be.

 

So you say you are about to remove this Permissions tab from user profile?

MP Mr Papa

no, we are not removing the permissions tab… the old, non used option you were trying to set…

if you dont want the tab on the profile, just remove it on forum – profiles – tabs and menus…

I see, that make sense…  but how come they are not translated just like in the admin panel?

MP Mr Papa

what’s not translated?  you can translate the tabs on the admin panel…  am I missing something?

I translated all those

 

Can view a forum
Can view a list of forums only
Can view a list of forums and list of topics only
Can view posts by an administrator
Can start new topics in a forum

 

but in the user profile like the screenshot above post show, they are still in english.

 

They are showing in french in the Admin panel, though…  those are the same striing so they should display identical at both places, no?

well, this is going to be a sticky one…  those translations, the actual auths descriptions, get done at install or upgrade time… so if the translation was not in effect at install or upgrade, the descriptions are already stored in the database…

not sure what to do about this post install/upgrade…  will need to talk it over with Andy…

of course, you could always translate the strings in the database, but thats not elegant…

Are you saying that with the next update this weekend they will all get translated?

 

(hey I can move the cursor around, even with quotes in! Did Andy made a change?)

No, thats not what I am saying…  unsure how that will progress…

yes, we made a change to the editor for FF to handle that long annoying tinymce issue…

not sure of solution yet… problem is that these permission strings are used on front end and admin… problem is the translation only exists in the admin… and the admin translations are not loaded on the front end…

Maybe add them to the Front End also?  Duplicate work for translators but well, once it’s done, it’s done.

MP Mr Papa

yes, but how to add to front end is the real question… since not used directly, would have to create stupid code that did nothing… plus, have to see how plugins that add auths play into it…

What about Theme translation?  I have no idea really, just trying to help.

MP Mr Papa

this ‘should be’ fixed now…  please note, those translations (being permissions) are translated on the admin side…  or in the plugin if a plugin adds a new permission…
