XF 2.1 Some (add-on) phrases get outdated once translated

[Aivaras]

I'm using the add-on Advanced Forms (v. 2.0.25). Translating some phrases of the add-on makes them outdated:


I've reported the issue to the add-on developer (@ozzy47) and was told it is unlikely to be caused by the add-on. What is causing it then in XF2? Have you had a similar experience? Please, help me to troubleshoot it.

When did you translate the phrases? According to the screenshot the phrases you translated were from version 2.0.25 and were modified in version 2.1.18.3 (which is kinda confusing as version numbers usually are only x.y.z and as far as I can see the latest version of this Add-on is 2.0.25)

Just a couple days ago, after the upgrade to v2.1.5 of XF. And the add-on was upgraded to v2.0.25 some weeks ago. If I revert the phrases they're up-to-date. If I translate them again, they show up as outdated.

2.0.25 is the latest version of the addon.

I have no idea why or where it is showing 2.1.18.3

Wow, that is really strange. Do you have any Add-on with a version number of 2.1.18.3?

 

[Ozzy47]

Oddly enough I get the same results on my site running XF 2.1.4

 

[Aivaras]

Do you have any Add-on with a version number of 2.1.18.3?

No, I do not. Also, note that it is just this bunch of phrases that get outdated, the rest of the phrases belonging to the add-on have been translated and are not listed as outdated.

 

[Ozzy47]

It boggles the mind as to why this is.

 

[Kirby]

Did you check what's actually in the DB (table xf_phrase) and the Add-on XML data file (phrases.xml)?

 

[Aivaras]

Exported the phrases of the add-on to XML and searched for "2.1.18.3". It's not there.

 

[Ozzy47]

There are a dozen phrases in the DB with the version 2.1.18.3 I have no idea how that is.

 

[Kirby]

In your DB @ozzy47?
If so, they are most likely also in the generated ZIP file.

 

[Aivaras]

Found a constant in XML: the version string of all the outdated phrases is 2.0.25, the rest of the phrases are v2.0.24.

 

[Ozzy47]

In your DB @ozzy47?

Hmm, not sure how that happened.

How would one go about changing that in a release so the customers are not showing that?

 

[Ozzy47]

I suppose change the info in the DB, then rebuild the addon might do it.

 

[Kirby]

Change, xf-dev:export, xf-addon:export (just in case there are XMLs with the borked version info and you accidently happen to import them), xf-addon:build-release

 

[Ozzy47]

In sorry, where do I find that?

 

[Kirby]

Find what?

1. Fix the broken version info in DB
2. Run php cmd.php xf-dev:export --addon=<addonid> so you have clean development files in _output
3. Run php cmd.php xf-addon:export <addonid> so you have clean XML files in _data
4. Run php cmd.php xf-addon:build-release <addonid> to create a new clean ZIP

Alternatively you could fix the files in _output and run xf-dev:import-phrases or if present fix the XML in _data and run xf:addon-rebuild and afterwards do the other necessary steps (eg. dev-export or export and build-release).

 

[Ozzy47]

Gotcha.

now when a user imports the new release, the phrases in the DB will be updated with the new versions on customers sites?
