In what file can I find the "Updating instructions" that show up on the roster main page? I would like to modify these to make it even more simple for my members. I've been getting a lot of questions from confused members on how to update there profile. I can't seem to find where in the code to do this.

Thank you.

I am 99% sure they are in the roster localization directory for the language you are using.

Edit:


roster/localization/enUs.php

Line 52:

Code: Select all

$wordings['enUS']['update_instruct']


Hmmm, thank you. I see where your talking about. I edited it but must not be doing it in right place. It didn't change it on the main page.

Unless your using deDE of course, in which case it's the wrong file

As long as you saved it after editing, and you forced a refresh on the page, something else odd is going on.

Well I'd like to edit (7 Click browse and select your *.lua files to upload) to include the path of the .lua file. But here in the code..


// Updating Instructions

$index_text_uniloader = "(You can download the program from the WoWRoster website, look for the UniUploader Installer for the latest version)";

$wordings['enUS']['update_instruct']='
<strong>Recommended automatic updaters:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Use <a href="'.$roster_conf['uploadapp'].'" target="_new">UniUploader</a>  '.$index_text_uniloader.'</li>
</ul>
<strong>Updating instructions:</strong>
<ol>
<li>Download <a href="'.$roster_conf['profiler'].'" target="_new">Character Profiler</a></li>
<li>Extract zip into its own dir in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Interface\Addons\ (CharacterProfiler\) directory</li>
<li>Start WoW</li>
<li>Open your bank, quests, and the profession windows which contain recipes</li>
<li>Log out/Exit WoW (See above if you want to use the UniUploader to upload the data automatically for you.)</li>
<li>Go to <a href="'.$roster_conf['roster_dir'].'/admin/update.php">the update page</a></li>
<li>'.$wordings['enUS']['lualocation'].'</li>
</ol>';

it seems to drop off before that place in the page comes up ( if you see what im saying.)

So I did the following above that section in the code.

//Instructions how to upload, as seen on the mainpage
$wordings['enUS']['update_link']='Click here for Updating Instructions';


$wordings['enUS']['lualocation']='Click browse and select your *.lua file to upload (WoWDirectory\WTF\Account *Your account name*\SavedVAriables\CharacterProfiler.lua)';


But that didn't change anything on the actaul site.

Make sure you are editing the correct locale file

english - enUS.php
german - deDE.php

I am editing the eng file. I must be missing something. I need to take another look. Sometimes I just need to take a break and come back to it to see what dumb thing im missing.

Yep sure enough. Normally I like to just rename the file I want to change and reupload a new version of the edited file. Well just renaming the file wasn't cutting it. I just copied the old file over locally and deleted it off the server. Now my changes are showing up.

I new it was something dumb

Thanks for all your help guys!
