Well, I am running English as the board language..

Is there any problem with the following definitions?

DEFINE(\'_FB_TIME_SINCE\', \'%time% ago\');
DEFINE(\'_FB_DATE_YEARS\', \'Years\');
DEFINE(\'_FB_DATE_MONTHS\', \'Months\');
DEFINE(\'_FB_DATE_WEEKS\',\'Weeks\');
DEFINE(\'_FB_DATE_DAYS\', \'Days\');
DEFINE(\'_FB_DATE_HOURS\', \'Hours\');
DEFINE(\'_FB_DATE_MINUTES\', \'Minutes\')

In my forum:

Instead of displaying [color=#008000]\"6 days 21 hours ago\"[/color], it shows \"[color=#008000]6_FB_DATE_DAYS, 21_FB_DATE_HOURS ago[/color]\"..

Many thanks for your quick reply!

These defines are fine. Nothing wrong with them. For some reason you install does not use that file. Do you have another english.php in another directory?

I\'ve checked and couldn\'t find any. Literally I don\'t know how to say this, but after I closely scrutinize my forum, the time display which have WEEKS are properly displayed:

Is there anything wrong somewhere? Or does it have anything to do with those patches? I didn\'t install the patch folders (I was ultimately confused with it), I just used the Complete Package zip folders..

Can you send me your english.php as well as your firebaord_config.php?

Thx!

Oliver

How can I send you those? :blush:

Sorry my bad. Thought you could attach file to PMs... :(

Can you zip them up and provide a link where I can get them?

I can attach here I think..

[file name=Fireboard_PHPs.zip size=25672]http://fireboard.bestofjoomla.com/images/fbfiles/files/Fireboard_PHPs.zip[/file]

Thank you for your kind help:)

Something seems wrong with your install. The english.php file you sent me is not the one in use on your site. All the \'missing\' variables are there. You must have another path with older files. Pls double check all directories. It is hard to diagnose this problem remotely.

I\'ve search everywhere for the file but it\'s not there. I\'ve stumbled the known issues in the release\'s Wiki:

[quote]Timezone - Board offset issue

Currently FireBoard stores all times in UTC + Board Offset. The Offset is added to the server time and new posts are stored with that time. A change in Board Offset only effects new Posts but can make for some future post time/dates for existing posts. These temporal issues disappear after a few hours (when enough time has past to compensate for the new board offset. This is another area that was deemed too risky to touch in a bug fix release. However, we have put this on our future todo list for improvements. A change will also allow FireBoard to manage user individual timezone settings. [/quote]

I played around with the board offset, and [i]some[/i] of the \"DAYS\" variables are showing correctly. I think it must be related to this issue, since i\'m having problem with the time.

I\'ll wait for some time to see whether the problem will disappear as mentioned.

Thank you so much for your attention...

Sorry, but this has absolutely nothing to do with the missing language variables.
And as the wiki states, you might NOT want to make changes to the board offset unless your post times are off.
