German Language Pack for ZC 1.3.9

[finlander]

Frank, on that Lightbox issue, there must be other files that need edits. I created the new zen_lightbox.php file in the German directory and edited per your instructions, but that only changes hover alt text over where the Close button would be. The Prev/Next button areas are not getting plugged in and Counter isn't there, either. There must be a whole bunch of other edits that would need to be done to plug it in for German Language pack. Lightbox works, just w/o the buttons and counter ("image 1 of 2"), and I have it set to close the lightbox when a click is made anywhere on the screen, so it's functional for now. I'm not sure how inclined anyone is to compile all the code edits needed..

Checked the language folder again. There is definitely only one single file, namely zen_lightbox.php, in the whole directory of the downloaded (and installed) package.

Guess this is a question to post in the Zen Lightbox thread.

thanks, yeah, I did find another directory for the buttons -
/includes/templates/CUSTOM/buttons/english/zen_lightbox
I created a 'german' directory in the same place and copied directory zen_lightbox to it. GIF Buttons are in English, but that's okay for now -- with your code for changing the alt text and image 1of2 text, it's fine for now. For anyone who wants to use lightbox w/ German pack, your code for the text, and then dropping another 'german' dir for the buttons, is a pretty good temp solution, until German language gif buttons can be dropped in the new 'german' directory......

hi Frank:
I installed the German pack and everything looks fine until i started testing it. The website is as follows"

http://www.axiscycles.com.sg/catalog...index&cPath=83

The problem is that whenever i clicked on the "ausgewahite in den warenkrob" button, the next screen comes to a stall (i.e. a totally white page is shown). I am using IE8 and when i tried this on Google Chrome, the same problem persists. Any leads on what is wrong?

Many thanks

A totally white page usually means that your php code got fouled up. This can happen by merely saving a file in a text editor such as Notepad.

This happened to me using Notepad. For whatever reason, Notepad was dropping the carriage return at the end of all the lines. Even though everything looked normal, the php code was being slaughtered at the time of saving the file, because there needs to be a space or a carriage return at certain places, such as near the first php tag. I found that when I used Notepad++, I did not have this problem. (Actually, Notepad++ was doing the opposite and adding an extra line in addition to the carriage return.)

Anyway, if you have backups of the file(s) you edited, you can get back to where you started. I don't use Notepad at all anymore because of this issue.

Notepad is a definite No No when it comes to editing php files - in fact, it should be renamed to NO!-Pad

Your problem is not related to the language pack itself, but - as finlander correctly stated - it could be related to edits or to a fouled ftp upload.

Thank you folks. No more note pads for me for now onwards. Looks like i got reload the files again.

Hi,

I installed the German Language pack into my new Zencart Webshop and I also still have squares showing where the umlaut should be. Have the changes been corrected in the Language pack or do I have to make the suggested corrections manually in PHP?

Have to admit I don't really like playing around with the core files.

Thank you for your reply.
