Hi, I just updated to version 0.8.14 from 0.8.13 and finally the language file loaded – thank you! :)

However, the edited bio-card that is stored in child-theme > connections-templates > card-bio-php does not load like it did before the update and I can’t remember if I tweaked some file to make it load or if it should load by default. I think it should load by default i.e the plugin should look in the child folder before looking in its own register.
Some assistance would be of great help!
Thank you!

@ Kristina

Which language file was not loading? The metabox title, right?

The path seems fine, but lets confirm:

../wp-content/themes/{child-theme}/connections-templates/card-bio/

What is not clear is the override file name, could you confirm?

Depending on what you’re trying to achieve, there is basically two ways to override a core template. It seems like you are using this method. This means the file in the above folder should be named something like card.php and/or card-single.php.

The other way is to completely override everything for the core template by copying it to the plugins folder so it is loaded as a plugin which can be activated/deactivated like any other.

Hi Steven,
2 notes here and one problem.

Note 1. The language file not loading was the connections-sv_SE.mo. It does now. Nice!

Note 2. I believe you may want to look into if you accidentally changed or corrected the definition of the notes block from <?php echo $entry->getNoteBlock(); ?> to <?php echo $entry->getNotesBlock(); ?>
I had the getNoteBlock string in my tweaked card, and it loaded fine before the update, displaying the notes. After the update the sting threw a php-error. I found the definer and saw the name change. This change is not in the change log I believe.

Here’s what I am still scratching my head over: The bio-card in our child-theme is still not loading after the update and I can’t figure why. I use the first method that keeps the template in the child themes folder. Path seems to be correct. Naming seems to be correct. It did work before the update. Enclosing a screenshot of the ftp window so you can see the path and the naming.
Any clue is helpful!

re: 1
I did change the loading priority, but that should not have affected most of the translated strings, only a few. I do not have that translation. Would you mind sharing and I’ll bundle it with Connections so all can benefit?

re: 2
Nope, that function call did not change … If I did, would have thousands of users all calling out in agony all at once ;) best to avoid that, right?

re: template override file
Nope, the naming is definitely wrong. With the first override option, the only valid names are those at the bottom of this page.

Judging from the folder and filename in the screenshot, you need to move that card-bio folder to the plugins folder and then activate that template so it will override the core template.

Aha – that was illuminating! Thanks Steven!
I put the template in the plugins directory, made a nice little thumbnail and it worked like a charm. (see enclosed pic). The template builds on your bio-card but is responsive. I would love to send it to you but the css is external so it won’t help that much). Just holler if you’d like it anyway. I can always paste the css in a plain text document.

The language file is only 40% done. But Ill send it when I am finished.

Thanks for the help!

Sure send the CSS my way, I’ll take a look at it. Look forward to receiving the translation too, thanks!

If I have not asked and if you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

Hi,
two files. One is the template, one is the css.
Enjoy :)
