how to put username in Status at Oxwall Software Forum

Joe Coon Aug 21 '14

Hello, guys this was covered in the first part of this thread by Purusothaman Ramanujam.

You can do this in /ow_plugins/newsfeed/components/UpdateStatus.php

Just a correction.. Its update_status.php actually.

Change the below line
$field->setInvitation( OW::getLanguage()->text('newsfeed', 'status_field_invintation') );

to

$userName = BOL_UserService::getInstance()->getDisplayName(OW::getUser()->getId());
$field->setInvitation( OW::getLanguage()->text('newsfeed', 'status_field_invintation',array('userName'=>$userName)) );

And then in your language page, change text for the keystatus_field_invintation.

What’s happening? to What’s happening {$userName}?

Now if this don't work try {$username} instead. It seems that is what I had to do and it now works for me.

If you have installed the plugin attachments

http://www.oxwall.org/store/item/246 ;

you have to make the same change in the file

misite/ow_plugins/attachments/components/overwriten/newsfeed_status.php

I've tried this and only recently got past the box showing anything other than the variable name of $username, but now all I can get is this ( and the language key actually DOES exist ). See attached.

Was your site on dev mode and did you clear the script cache?

Hi Purusothaman and guys, i've tried all this: i edited the newsfeed.xml file in the langs zip folder and the update_status.php file but, no changes are showing on the website. I have dev mode enabled, any ideas? Thanks in advance

I erred in that I copied and pasted code rather than typing it in; so the single quotes around the $username were not recognized as such, so when I corrected that it all began to flow. But, some of my sites still have issues and some are ok, so I'm satisfied that its them and not the code.

When I do this I get the PHP error saying "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '>' in /srv/disk3/**************/oxwall/ow_plugins/newsfeed/components/update_status.php on line 202"

Works in 1.7.4. Since it shows in the newsfeed on the main page, and the profile page; I changed the language key from What’s happening? to Hey {$userName} Share something with us.
To make it easy to find the line of code to change; use "ctrl F" to open a find box, paste the line of code you want to search for, and click on "find next". It will take you straight to it no matter what line it was moved to.

Joe, first you need to start a new topic please, as this has nothing to do with the topic at hand. :)

Then you need to go to pages in admin and at the bottom of the appropriate page, for example profile page there is a check box that says allow users to edit this page, uncheck that box and i should take that bar away from users view.

Again please start a new topic rather than post on a topic that has no reference. thanks

Hi! When it changes to mobile it shows "What’s happening {$userName}?" exactly like that with no user name...
