Hi all,

The members of the forum I maintain make extensive use of the email notification system (categories and topics), which works very well.

Question: are the message texts editable? For example, this text isn't well phrased:

You are getting this notification because of you have subscribed into category.

Also, it looks like a variable is missing, ie, the name of the category.

Searching the forum, I find some really old info which is now out-of-date.

Thanks

As from K 1.6.4, there have been a few changes to make it easier to customise the message text that appears on Kunena-generated email. For example, these language strings (see Where is the language file? ) show you how some of that text is defined:

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1="A new reply has been posted on the"
COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT="A new topic has been created on the"
COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION2="You can unsubscribe from this topic by visiting it and clicking the Unsubscribe button near the top or bottom of the page."
COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION2_CAT="You are getting this notification because of you have subscribed into category. Please visit the category to unsubscribe."

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the clarification on where to find these files.

However, for me the translation (swedish) is correct in these files, but the lines

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT
and
COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION2_CAT


are still shown as the quouted text in the notification email and not converted to (for the user) plain text or links.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

You need to upgrade to K 1.6.4 and then use the information shown in msg #2 of this topic.

This is what I have done:

1) I have upgraded to 1.6.4

2) found the correct language files

3) checked the corresponding lines in these files so there were no typos etc in them, ie the files are correct.

It it still not converting (for example) COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT to something readable.

One thing that crossed my mind now is that there is a line saying

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1

but not

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT


Are there supposed to be a line saying

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT

or only

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1


in the language files?

Both lines are for different reasons... (topic & category)

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1="A new reply has been posted on the"

maybe better for that is:

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1="A new reply has been posted on the topic:"

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT="A new topic has been created on the"

maybe better for that is:

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT="A new topic has been created on the category:"

Thanks Mortti. :)

The line

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT


In what file am I supposed to this line?
I have looked in all language files so the eyes hurts, but may have missed that line.

It's in site side(not admin side) en-GB.com_kunena.ini file
Work just fine in Finnish too ;)

Please compare your Swedish files to English files... there are many programs for that, for Windows is useful like WinMerge program for that... also for Linux and Mac is many good programs...

It works now. :)

The problem was that the following lines were missing in the swedish translation:

COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION1_CAT
and
COM_KUNENA_POST_EMAIL_NOTIFICATION2_CAT

Now they are added and translated.

Many thanks to everyone. :)

You should inform to the Swedish translator about the missing strings so he can fix that... there can be more missing strings too. That is one reason why Kunena Team is removed language packages from installation package.
