Most of it's okay,

I'm wondering how to get rid of the lines where this happens

_CURRENTLY 1
_GUESTS 1 _MEMBERS

_YOUARELOGGED
_YOUHAVE 0
_PRIVATEMSGS

You haven't added the language file definitions for your block/module. You need to add the DEFINES for those variables into the language files that you use on your site.

How do I do that?

Guest

Wait,

If you mean that they aren't defined in ./language/lang-english.php , they are, it's just that they aren't showing up as the text it's supposed to be! This is really weird!

Check the path in your block/module index.php file to find out where your module/block is expecting the language file to be. It can't find it.

Alright,

This is the piece of code I think you're talking about!

In the block-Who_is_Online.php file
---------------------------------------
if (eregi("block-Who_is_Online.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

Here's the thing...there's no index.php file in /block or /module. I don't know where it's pointing!!

In that file, search for the word 'language' and find where it expects the language file to be. Then, verify that that is where it is.

doesn't find anything!?!

And you're sure that these variables:

_CURRENTLY
_GUESTS
_MEMBERS

_YOUARELOGGED
_YOUHAVE
_PRIVATEMSGS

are all in language/lang-english.php as DEFINES?

Guest

Hi,

Me again. It's not like this is the only place that this happens. It happens in the poll block, all over the admin page, it's everywhere where this happens. Just wondering what the possible cause of this could be!!

[Edited and removed offensive language]

One example is:

lang-english.php
****************
define("_CURRENTLY","There are currently,");

then you look in block-Who_is_Online.php
****************
etc
etc
$who_online = "<center><font class=\"content\">"._CURRENTLY." $guest_online_num "._GUESTS." $member_online_num "._MEMBERS."<br>";
etc
etc
etc

I'm pretty sure that the periods are supposed to be there, that's how it originally showed up. Anyway, any help appreciated!

Thanks

I understand your frustration, but please read the rules of conduct for posting messages and follow them. I have edited your previous message and removed the cussing.

And yes, the periods are supposed to be there.
