Dev Diary: Build 18

luceos i want to help to translate flarum into Telugu like WordPress is there any panel in flarum where we can add words. without installing and doing hard code changes? or could flarum fork a Telugu version i can manually make changes using GitHub editor?

i don't want to manage extension but I want to translate .. please suggest an easy way.

i read the post about translating Skelton but since I am not a developer it's very hard for me to install everything on my local machine and edit and upload it to Github. if possible please make a video tutorial .. i can help with Two languages Telugu and Hindi.

Hindi is the official language of India and its most spoken by half of the country

Hari yeah you can use Weblate, see https://weblate.rob006.net/projects/flarum/. If your language isn't mentioned we can set it up, either @Justoverclock or @GreXXL can get you on-boarded.

GreXXL

Hari it would be awesome if you want to start those translations. Yes, there is a way where you can work on a web interface focusing on translating the variables. It's weblate by @rob006. I'd assume you would want to start with one language first - or does it make sense to work on them in parallel as there are similarities?

Just let us know where you want to start and we can help you get started with translating flarum under the Flarum Language Project!

Hari

luceos this is my github link invite me

GreXXL

Telugu
Hindi (i will ask my friend he is basically Hindi guy)

most of we Indias have two languages one is mother tongue (regional language) and national langue which is Hindi

Hari

Justoverclock ok, i was about to ask that .. i will wait. 👍

GreXXL could you create Telugu at github and give instructions

Justoverclock

@Hari the best way to do this is to setup a repository, and starting with weblate, if u want help i can give u step by step guide maybe on discord 😉

Hari

Justoverclock new to discord but i will come to the flarum chat room. let's meet there

We just released v1.0.3 for Flarum to resolve an issue caused by the upstream Laravel filesystem package. This version ships some additional changes:

Changed

Removed [forum] prefix from Request Password and Email Confirmation emails (a4a81c0)
Adopt huntr.dev for handling our security vulnerability reports (flarum/core2918)
Maintenance handler can now be replaced through the service container (ioc) (4acff91)
The colors on the auto generated avatars are now based on the Display Name of the user (flarum/core2873)

Fixed

Avatar in notifications list are incorrectly aligned (flarum/core2906)
FilesystemManager is not compatible with upstream Laravel implementation (flarum/core2936)

In case you ran the commands similar to the following to downgrade the illuminate packages:

composer require illuminate/filesystem:"8.47.*" -W
composer require illuminate/support:"8.47.*" -W

Make sure to remove those again using this command:

composer remove --no-install illuminate/filesystem illuminate/support

(feel free to ignore the errors throw by composer in the above step)

Then run an update on Flarum:

composer update flarum/core -W --prefer-dist -a --no-dev

Cache clear and migrate:

php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

In case you run into any issues, open a discussion under the support tag.

luceos composer remove --no-install illuminate/filesystem illuminate/support

I get his error:

Removal failed, illuminate/filesystem is still present, it may be required by another package. See 'composer why illuminate/filesystem'.

luceos

luceos The colors on the auto generated avatars are now based on the Display Name of the user (flarum/core#2873)

Thank you @ctml for the contribution on this one 😍

luceos

fakruzaruret yes that is okay, just continue.

jordanjay29

fakruzaruret and anyone else who encounters issues with the new release, please open a new discussion in the Support tag so we can address them as they come in.

poVoq

Worked fine for me. Had to also do a flarum migrate though. flarum cache:clear works again now.

pupsik

Do we have to wait for extensions to update again?

luceos

pupsik now that we've reached v1.0 on Flarum you can expect that (most) extensions that are compatible with v1.0 will remain compatible with all versions up to Flarum v2.0. We'll do our best to make that possible.

giter

luceos This is exactly what we want! It's great to be able to upgrade without having to wait for extended support!

Hari

JuliusBajaj yes, you can stay in v1.0 forever and all extensions are compatible with it. make sure to check compatibility before starting the upgrade. PHP 7.4 or later is mandatory 🙂

luceos Out of curiosity, what is the difference between generating the colours with the username and doing it with the displayName?

luceos
The first of many I hope! Had to start small 🙂

Yeah exactly. There are extreme cases like mine where it makes a significant difference. I use SSO so my usernames are not user selected (no user registration process) which would provide randomness for the color generation. Instead the usernames are numeric identifiers (for example employee id's) because they are unique which is a requirement for usernames. This means usernames might look like 10000, 10001, 10002, etc. which basically results in all users getting assigned the same colour even though the display name is very different.

Hari

successfully upgraded

🎉

tankerkiller125

Darkle When using something like the Nicknames extension it could be wildly different colors, as an example while my username might be tankerkiller125 I might choose Matt as my nickname. This would lead to very different colors being chosen however other than that there is basically no difference.

Essentially we previously calculated it from tankerkiller125, now we would calculate it from Matt.

I think the installation command should be updated in the skeleton repository.
