Version 0.5.5 – Buddypress Support


Did you arm your vuvuzelas yet for the wordpress 3.0 release? Now you can do that and enjoy the fact that the latest transposh plugin for wordpress offers support for the new wordpress, and as a bonus, support for buddypress. This support for buddypress now means that urls generated and answered by it will now be translatable.

More changes include additional support for conditions that made the UI unworkable, when for example jQuery tools was used with some plugin or theme, now – we are able to make it work.

Like previously since a new major version of wordpress is out, we are dropping official support for the older wordpress 2.8 version, the plugin should still function but it will not be tested and patched for that version and we recommend that you upgrade.

As always – we want to hear you out, what features you want? and which team will win the world cup?  just drop your comments here.

    Congratulations. You must have some really trusting beta testers who let you run your stuff on their live BuddyPress sites… 8^)

    You are most welcome of course! Quick question: Is there any way of inhibiting the translation of code snippets as in http://virtualcrowds.org/zh/ ?

      I can probably create some interface that will allow that, but one will have to make code changes to support it, I would not put it in a high priority just yet

    this is a great upgrade for transposh.
    I have a question,is the translate page are saved as post permanently?
    because i often get retranslate for same post.

      Hi,

      Translations are saved, I checked your site and it looks ok, it might retranslate if content has changed or something else went wrong.

    What an amazing plugin! I installed it on the http://www.impacollective.org website I designed and was truly impressed! Ran into a snag thou! When installed, the plugin caused my new user registration to fail! It will not go beyond the initial screen nor send e-mails. I am presenting this site at the World Dance Alliance conference in NYC to people from around the world this coming week. I am running WPMU 3.0 and BP 1.2.5.2 with about 20 plugins. Any chance someone would like to help me figure out the conflict? I’d love to include this feature in the presentation.

      P.S. If you would like me to re-install it so you can see the issue, or need anything, just let me know!

      Will be happy to try and help you there, what is the exact error you ran into?

      • #13 by Scott on July 9, 2010 - 7:27 pm

        When the plugin is active, the button at the bottom of the new user registration page changes. Without the plugin installed, it reads “Complete Sign Up” and users can click it to proceed with the registration process. When the plugin is active, the button changes to read “Submit Query.” When a user then tries to proceed by clicking the button, the page refreshes and nothing happens… Somehow the plugin is changing that button and misdirecting I think…??? I have reactivated the plugin for the day so you can see the “submit Query” change in action. Thank you so much for looking into this. People from around the world will be looking at this brand new site! and your plugin would wow them!

    Just an updaate… I disabled all plugins except the BP and transposh and still had issue!

      Thanks, I was able to replicate the bug in my environment, will let you know when its fixed.

      • #16 by ofer on July 10, 2010 - 12:35 am

        Found the bug in the buddypress theme
        look at the file
        wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/registration/register.php
        Search for “Complete Sign Up
        See the missing space between the type and the name
        new line should be
        <input type="submit" name="signup_submit" id="signup_submit" value=" →" />

        Also reported upstream: http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/2516

        • #17 by Scott on July 10, 2010 - 4:40 am

          It works now! THANK YOU! I will post theinfoe on the buddypress request for support I made. They can fix it in the next upgrade. I will also post a link to your site on my Thank You page! Do you have a donation link I can send some support for development to? Again, thank you so much!

    Hi,

    I’m trying to find a way to support both Thai and English for my nonprofit BuddyPress site, Zanyiza. This is a networking site built for the Akha tribal people of Northern Thailand. We want to be able to write in the Akha language, as well, which uses Roman characters.

    However, I cannot find where to manually edit the text, as the auto translation isn’t always accurate (for example, it translates the word “chat” into the Thai word for “cat”!)

    I see in the FAQs that “A language marked for editing will allow a translator (anyone marked in the ‘who can translate’ section) to manually edit the page. i.e. the translate check-box will appear in the widget.” However – I do not see where to mark a language for editing anywhere.

    We’re running the WordPress 3.0.1 MU with a BuddyPress Scholar theme.

    I’ve been working on a language solution for weeks now… been through WPML, qTranslate and a few more but keep coming back to Transposh. Please help!

    Thank you in advance!
    Dawn

      Hello Dawn,

      First question, a language marked for editing will be colored green, the widget will show the edit translation checkbox, an easy way to enable this is to enable anonymous translation.
      Second question, adding Akha, you will have to edit the constants.php file to achieve that

      Good luck
