[ZendTo] Missing login

Wed Jun 3 17:56:45 BST 2020

I’ve gotten nearly all of our changes into zendto.po for en_US but one of our tweaks was some added HTML formatting to email_dropoff_html.tpl file, I’ve added it into the appropriate msgstr line but the email I get has the code listed literally instead of rendering the HTML tags.
I see that you use it HTML tags in other language zendto.po files. Looking at the email source all the < and > are being turned into > or < as appropriate.

Thanks for adding those ids to body, headers, and footers that will help us greatly.

I’ve nudged my managers but have see what we can get since CoVid-19 is reducing our budget.

Travis,

That was it. Our web dev team had to touch a few of the template files to apply our university’s color scheme and we changed username to email in a couple places ( our students are on a different domain than the staff, so we use email for auth ).
You should change any text in the /opt/zendto/config/locale/en_US/LC_MESSAGES/zendto.po file.
After changing this file, run /opt/zendto/bin/makelanguages and then restart Apache.
This is all explained on
    https://zend.to/translators.php<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://zend.to/translators.php__;!!PhOWcWs!gl4fJoBqCGrMQ2M5vSkzEpdw_JyPo_hs0DeptRXV2UIBrC4PJPD6Yktb5Zs4n6SHcg$>

Then your customisations will survive upgrades and will not affect and upgrades to the template files.

It may seem strange to be reading docs about translating it to another language. But effectively you are just customising the "en_US" translation.

In that zendto.po file (it's just plain text), there are lots of "msgid" strings. This is the text that is in the template file for that phrase. Each one has a corresponding "msgstr" string, which contains the text that ZendTo actually serves up for that phrase. If the msgstr is empty (msgstr "") then it defaults back to serving up the msgid string.

So, when translating to a new language (e.g. Welsh), the msgid would be the English version that is in the template file. The msgstr version would be the Welsh equivalent. But in your case the msgstr version is just the modified (English) text you want to display.

Does that explain it?
If you're not sure, send me an example and I will show you exactly what the relevant zendto.po entries look like.

We use the local.css file to make any changes to the css code.

Here’s what we touched, don’t know if this could be added ( or some similar way ) for helping with branding or did our web dev team miss something?
Added an id to the body tag.
header.tpl
<body id=“zendtobody”>
Done.

Added an id to this td and removed the background color from its style.
email_footer_html.tpl
<td id=“footer”
I've called it "email-footer". I've also named the corresponding header "email-header".

There is now a bit of CSS in the email_header.tpl that sets the background-color for #email-header and #email-footer. The "local.css" is inserted just after this, so overrides it.

That should fix it all for you.

As always, thanks for the help and making this product.

Many thanks for that!

P.S. Please do feel free to ask your employer to either make a donation, or else to pay an invoice for development work or similar.

Cheers,
Jules.

Travis,

My guess would be that you have modified a file or 2 in /opt/zendto/templates.
If you did that, then the new versions will have ".rpmnew" (on CentOS/RedHat-based systems) or similar stuck on the end of their filename. You need to move the new ones into place, overwriting your modified ones.

The same could be true of your /opt/zendto/www/css/swish2.css file.

Also, make sure you have run
    /opt/zendto/bin/upgrade

Hopefully 1 or more of those will be the cause!

Cheers,
Jules.

We upgraded our ZendTo dev server to 5.23-4, initially I’m pretty sure everything was fine. But today when I looked at it there is no login on either the Home page or the Login page.

I tried deleting the tpl.php files in templates_c but that didn’t fix it. Did I miss something in the Changelog or a new setting in the preferences.php?
