[nodebb-plugin-poll] Poll plugin

[Schamper]

@Scuzz got a mail about it, I don't have a lot of time on wifi, just small amounts of time in shops etc, which I usually use to read mail and chat with gf/family. Just checked this forum because I had extra time after dinner. I will return in about a week and you'll find me lurking in the shoutbox again then

I thought i was your gf

hahaha I wish I could merge code using the GitHub app.. although that would be quite irresponsible for GitHub to do...

Because then people would be blindly merging without testing code

[Netto Hikari]

This question might be a bit stupid, but I actually never worked with GitHub before (created my first GitHub account a few days ago to file an issue)... I translated the plugin into German language and I'd like to file a pull request. How would I do that?

[julian]

Ah, it would be up to the individual plugin to use language strings... I'm not entirely sure on the process. @psychobunny ?

Missed this. Have a look here for a sample plugin that uses i8n

EDIT: You'd have to file a PR to make it i8n compatible as well Here is the relevant line in plugin.json, and then of course you just have to move the hardcoded english strings into a en_GB folder

it doesnt work on my forum (latest master)

if i make a poll, it instantly crashes and outputs

how come it works fine on this forum? :S

@chas Probably it's because of that line
https://github.com/Schamper/nodebb-plugin-poll/blob/master/lib/backend.js#L40
a callback should be passed there, but there is no.

[baris]

Latest master won't crash if callback isn't supplied.

dont crash if callback isnt supplied to list methods · NodeBB/NodeBB@749ce5f

I swear I'll update this soon Just have to finish a large report in the next 1.5 weeks and I'll have spare time for plugin development

[JonDoe12]

Any update on this @Schamper ?

[Bobber]

@Schamper Please add Russian Language Support during Poll creation UI

@psychobunny I tried to localize the poll plugin, but the translation doesn't happen (nodebb v0.6.x). I saw the client side js use window.templates.parse(pathToTpl, data, callback ) to process the tpl and translate string such as "[[poll.votes]]" not being replaced. Any suggestion? I guess tpl translation only happens at server side code?

[yariplus]

I got the translator working by using a ':' to split the translation filename and variable, e.g.:

"[[poll:votes]]"

and my languages/ru/poll.json has:

{
 "votes": "голосов"
}

[Gordon Gu]

@yariplus what the string to put in the tpl? I tried following:

<a class="poll-view-result-votecount" href="#">{options.votecount} [[poll:votes]]</a>

but translator didn't work:(

[yariplus]

I have

<a class="poll-view-result-votecount" href="#"> "[[poll:votes]]"</a>

(without the quotes)

[yariplus]

err, it keeps parsing out the text

This is what i'm using

Ah okay, I should have posted my whole code. Looks like the client doesn't load the language files automatically, you have to you have to call load() first in the poll init and translate() on the template. If you can wait a bit I'm going to make a PR with everything setup.

edit: hmm, actually it does load the language automatically when you call translate(), maybe someone who knows more about the translator knows why it's not translating that template. All the admin templates work fine for me cause their parsed on the server.

edit 2: Okay! I got it working. PR coming...
