Beta5: Couple of little problems found
September 29, 2009, 08:39:26 am
Hi,

I have installed beta 5 and found a couple of 'cosmetic' errors:

1) When exporting contacts the country is not translated to the default language. It stays in English even though all other fields are (in my case) dutch
2) When exporting contacts special characters are not exported correctly
3) When displaying an event the to date has an english format. All other dates take the correct handling from the  default setting (in my case 24hr format).  
4) The confirmation when registering for an event has the to date has an english format. All other dates take the correct handling from the  default setting (in my case 24hr format).  
5) When registering a participant for an event the 'hour' field shows 'hour' and not a number as all the other fields.

Anyone else noticed these little problems. Since they are specific to localisation I think they might have been overlooked. I can reproduce all of the errors and have screenshots if necessary.

Another one: In the registration screen of an event the event status is also not localized. It shows the english terms

Thx for testing and your feedback! Responses inline:
---
1) When exporting contacts the country is not translated to the default language. It stays in English even though all other fields are (in my case) dutch
2) When exporting contacts special characters are not exported correctly

The country export not being translated issue is posted for fix in 3.1:
>> http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-3157

I've updated the above issue to include your report of special characters not exporting correctly. Please add a comment with details on how to recreate, and ideally screen shot to the above issue to make sure we understand the specifics.

---
3) When displaying an event the to date has an english format. All other dates take the correct handling from the  default setting (in my case 24hr format). 
4) The confirmation when registering for an event has the to date has an english format. All other dates take the correct handling from the  default setting (in my case 24hr format).

I've found the bug in the templates which control formatting for End Date (it's triggered when event starts and ends on the same day). I've filed an issue and committed a fix for the Confirmation and Thankyou page display as well as the confirmation email:
>> http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-5146

However, I am not seeing this problem on the Event Information screen. I've set this up on the 3.0 sandbox by changing date/time display format to use 24 hour time:
http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/setting/date&reset=1

... and then looked at event info for 2 events which start and end on same day - and they're showing 24 hr time for end (date) time
http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&action=preview&id=1
http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&action=preview&id=3

Can you recreate #3 above on the sandbox?

---
5) When registering a participant for an event the 'hour' field shows 'hour' and not a number as all the other fields.

Not sure what screen / form you're referring to in # 5 ?? Please reproduce on sandbox and get us details (steps, URL), screenshot.

---
Another one: In the registration screen of an event the event status is also not localized. It shows the english terms
Again not sure what screen and field or element you're referring to here ("event status"). Please get us more details, screenshot etc.

Hi Dave,

Issue 3)
http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=22
The PM on the end is strange... because it should be localized. On my own installation I actually get a english time as well (17.00 hours translates to 05.00 pm) and only on that field. if you want to look:
http://sandbox.kyudo-renmei.com/civicrm/event/info?reset=1&id=5

Issue 5)
see this link http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view/participant?reset=1&action=add&cid=287&context=participant

it happens when the input date/time format is set to %d %b %Y, %H:%M   the hour than says 'hour'

Issue '6' )
This link as well http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view/participant?reset=1&action=add&cid=287&context=participant
Localisation is set to Dutch (Nederlands)... the status fields are not translated to dutch. When I save on my own installation the contact record / event shows the status in dutch. I think one might show the label and the other the name. (I put the localisation on the demo back to english)

You need to set the Time Format setting on this screen to use 24 hour clock AND remove the %P (AM / PM) from the format. This is needed because the end date display is "time only" for any event where start and end date are the same.
 
http://sandbox.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/setting/date&reset=1

I updated the setting and rechecked your event and it's displaying properly (no 'PM').

This is a minor bug with the setting the HOUR portion of the time to current time when 24 hour format is used. I've filed an issue - s/b fixed shortly:

The participant statuses "Labels" are now stored in the database separately (and are editable). You'll need to update the Label values with Dutch equivalents from Administer CiviCRM >> CiviEvent >> Participant Statuses

Hi Dave,

Indeed.. I completely overlooked the fact that in this instance it is using the time only. That one wasn't customized correctly on my end and works fine now. The labels and name also seem to work now.

Thanks!
