language editor has changed a bit and should be removed from Host menu.

Instead, there is now a single instance only in admin menu, wich provides an extended scope settings: System - Host - Portal

  • System modifies the original language or language pack
  • host creates language modifications for all portals (stored in .host.resx files)
  • admin creates language modifications for a single portal (stored in .portal-<id>.resx files)

Host and admin files modifications will not be part of language packs exported - but will on the other hand not be overwritten on core/extension upgrades. Customizations are ideal for adopted Terms of Use and privacy statements as well as email templates etc).

These options have been in the localization system for year, but I am aware, that this hasn't been obvious for most users and I hope, the redesign of the UI makes it easier to use.

Are you still talking about v4.9.3 or v5 because what you're saying doesn't match up with what I am seeing in my DNN (v4.9.3)?

In 4.9.3 Admin -> Languages there are not any scope settings (Host/System).

In 4.9.3 Host -> Languages there are 2 options System or Host.

I want to be able to change text such as terms and conditions on a portal by portal basis - so how do I do this?

sorry, I was referring to DNN 5

to edit terms of use and privacy statement per portal, please use language editor in admin menu. any customization will not be ovewritten on upgrades.

But then I am back to my other problem:

SupaHoopsa wrote

OK can someone please explain how the GlobalResources.resx files work?

  1. In my development portal I used the Language Editor to change the text for the Admin.String. I clicked on Update and all appeared to have worked OK.
  2. When I check the App_GlobalResources folder, I find that the GlobalResources.resx file has not changed, but there is a new file called GlobalResources.Portal-0.resx which contains my change.  OK I get that, as my portal is portal 0 and a new file is created that is portal independent - a good idea.
  3. However I then logged out of my portal, then signed in again. I went to the Language editor to check the text for my Admin.String. What I saw though was the contents of the GlobalResources.resx file NOT the GlobalResources.Portal-0.resx contents. Why is this?
  4. Anyway, I reapplied my change to the Admin.String and clicked on update and guess what, I got the error:  A File Operation Failed. Please Check Resource File Permissions So Files Can Be Edited.

 

So can someone please explain how this is supposed to work?

Did I miss a trick when I went into the Language editor for the second time - I can't see any option to select the portal-0 file?

Is this editor a once only chance? That surely cannot be correct?

Have I stumbled upon a bug in DNN? Surely I can't be the first person to edit this file more than once?

Is it a bug in the one of the latest releases (4.9.1, 4.9.2, 4.9.3) ? I am sure it worked OK in v4.9.0 - we only upgraded to 4.9.3 a week ago.

 

So how do I do these updates?
