Hi,
I have an old instance of the Gettext module (1.0) but where is the latest Module? Or is 1.0 the latest versionß
It is not in the extdb and I can't find it when browsing the core repository files.
Using the module and uploading the "old style" module via zip file I get this error:
msgmerge: error while opening "/tmp/c6b0828403fe82aaa3b93a7b1c3fd3826a0b77db/module_xxxxxxxxxx.pot" for reading: No such file or directory
ERROR: Failed to generate POT file - see output for explanation.
What does this message tell me?
Second question: I already have a not english translation for the old module. Which of the helper-scripts (and how has it to be used?) can "copy" the old translation?
Thanks, Flo

I couldn't find documentation there what each shellscript does and which is the right to convert other languages than english into gettext
Thanks for your help, Flo

To migrate a define based module to gettext you need this:
http://code.zikula.org/gettext/browser/trunk/src/Gettext/helpers/xmigratepnmlcomponent.sh
You must run the module from inside a Zikula install and you need all the language defines in place. Use full paths.

ok then it should be corelangfilepath and not corelangfile
I'll try the script this evening, let's see if it works ;)

The scripts absolutely work as they were used time and time again for converting around 30 modules I did personally. One thing to watch for is module language defines - many people have file includes and PHP code inside the language files. All that must be removed. The language files must contain just the opening PHP syntax and then lines of define(...); with no logic inside the calls and no calls to Zikula APIs.
Make sure you use an IDE after the conversion. There are deliberate syntax breaks for certain things to force manual review. The script were designed for use with an IDE for this reason.

Drak

hmm. The upload function of the Gettext module does not work - If you want to try I can send you the zip file to test it for your own
I now tried to use the script to convert from pnml to gettext but it failed.
Can you give a example for the command that has to be entered to convert a module from pnml to gettext?
I try to convert the ContactList module to gettext:
Code
What's wrong? Inserting all the script's output would break the forum I think... The script seems to check all language strings from every module (or just the core?) anbd even templates.
Just a little part of the errors thrown out...

You mean the upload for generating pot files? I used this yesterday the last time, it works usually.

I try to convert the ContactList module to gettext:
I guess the problem is that you need to do this inside the Zikula root folder. So please try doing a "cd dummy_zikula_123" and repeat the commands accordingly.

Thanks for your reply Axel,

I also used it for all other modules but the Gettext module does not seem to like the Contactlist module It's a pitty that the Gettext module doesn't throw an understandable error about the problem that seems to exist with the ContactList module.

I did the call from Zikula root, module root, gettext root - no one worked.
Maybe it would be great if drak (or someone who understands all the scripts) could explain the usage of the shellscript with a simple example.
If any user has a hint for me to solve the problem it would be nice...

Florain :) I think you misundestood my original quote
Quote
The path to the core language file :)
You need to specify something like language/eng/core.php - core language file, not the path to the core language file.
Copy the languages/ folder from a Zikula 1.1.x installation. The script is not interested in Zikula 1.2 specific stuff at all, only in language define files and the old module.
cd into the module you are converting. You do not need to use sh, you do
cd ~/dummy_zikula_123/modules/ContactList
~/dummy_zikula_123/modules/gettext/helpers/xmigratepnmlcomponent.sh ~/dummy_zikula_123/modules/gettext/helpers ~/dummy_zikula_123/modules/ContactList/pnlang ~/dummy_zikula_123/languages/eng/core.php
You really must do this with an SVN checkout of the module. After conversion fire up your IDE and check the PHP files for syntax errors and you use a gui coloured diff to verify the changes especially in templates. According to how deviant the module is from API standards, you will have a varying amount of cleanup work to do.
This process is strictly for getting modules to 1.2 standards, not 1.3.
Hope this helps, let me know if you need any more support.

Last foot note, if anything goes wrong (like not to remove the said forbidden hack from language files) you need to SVN revert the entire module folder, fix, then rerun the conversion.
