Help Desk

Hi, since the last update i receive the following error when trying to update any setting:

Warning: sprintf(): Too few arguments in /www/htdocs/w0116cf8/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/admin-views/tribe-options-display.php on line 54

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /www/htdocs/w0116cf8/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/admin-views/tribe-options-display.php:54) in /www/htdocs/w0116cf8/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1216

Could you please have a look

Hi Stephan,

Sorry about this issue. I haven’t seen any other reports on this yet.

Did you already go through our conflict testing guide? This can help eliminate any issues coming from other plugins.

Also please try if you have the same issue when you deactivate Community Events.

Let me know what you find.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,

Yes i’ve gone through your troubleshooting-procedures without finding a solution.

Please have a look at the Community Events Support Forum, other users are reporting exactly the same problem.

The problem appeared with the last update, i didnt change anything.

Pleae help me, i just payed 89 Dollars for the licence…

Cheers

Stephan

Good morning Stephan,

I tested this in my test installations and couldn’t yet reproduce the issue. Everything worked and saved as it should.

Could you open that file (wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/admin-views/tribe-options-display.php) and paste here couple lines before and after line 54?

What you can try to solve this temporarily is rolling back to an earlier version of Community Events, while we try to figure out why this is happening.

Cheers,
Andras

Checking other threads…. it think it´s relatet to a problem with the translation:

Check this:

How do i paste code properly here?
I just get this, when selecting and pasting from Notepad+++

$display_tab_fields = Tribe__Main::array_insert_before_key(
‘tribe-form-content-start’,
$display_tab_fields,
array(
‘info-start’ => array(
‘type’ => ‘html’,
‘html’ => ‘

‘,
),
‘info-box-title’ => array(
‘type’ => ‘html’,
‘html’ => ‘

‘ . __( ‘Display Settings’, ‘the-events-calendar’ ) . ‘

‘,
),
‘info-box-description’ => array(
‘type’ => ‘html’,
‘html’ => ”
. __( ‘The settings below control the display of your calendar. If things don\’t look right, try switching between the three style sheet options or pick a page template from your theme.’, ‘the-events-calendar’ )
. ‘

‘
. sprintf(
__( ‘There are going to be situations where no out-of-the-box template is 100% perfect. Check out our our themer\’s guide for instructions on custom modifications.’, ‘the-events-calendar’ ),
Tribe__Main::$tec_url . ‘knowledgebase/themers-guide/?utm_medium=plugin-tec&utm_source=generaltab&utm_campaign=in-app’
)
. ‘

‘,
),
‘info-end’ => array(
‘type’ => ‘html’,
‘html’ => ‘

‘,
),
)
);

You can try pasting it in a pastebin or in a gist. Probably these would be the best.

Or when you are writing your answer, there is a code button which produces a single curly quote. You can paste the code between those. (screenshot)

Hi András,

the translation is the problem!

Switching my wordpress language setting from german to englisch fixed the problemn

(but that´s not the solution, i´m running an german news-magazine, my readers lynch me when changing to englisch) 🙂

any idea how to fix the code?

Cheers

Stephan

Oh, okay. Awesome job on finding the source of the issue.

Also sehen wir mal…

So, the problem is that in the translation the % mark is translated as ‘%’ and not as the html entity:˙. This is how the translation should look like:

Es wird Situationen geben, in denen keine Out-of-the-Box-Vorlage zu 100&#37; perfekt ist. In unserem <a href="%s">Benutzerhandbuch</a> findest Du Anleitungen für benutzerdefinierte Anpassungen.

If you are familiar with changing translations with PoEdit or with the Loco Translate plugin, then this is easy to fix.

I will get this change in the repo so with the next version this should be fixed.

Let me know if you need help with changing translations, and if you use PoEdit or Loco Translate.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Andras,

do i hear some german roots? 🙂

I´m afraid i´ve got no skills in using poedit… i used it years ago, but it would take time to get along with it right now…

Isn´t there a workaround for me, till the next update fixes the problem?

Viele Grüße

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Well, no German roots, I just studied it for long and spent some time in Germany. 🙂 I’m from Hungary.

Then the easiest would be is to download this file with the fixed translation, unzip it, and upload the 2 files into the following folder.

wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lang

Overwrite the 2 files which are there. (Might be good to make a backup of the original files or rename them to .bak or something.)

Hope this helps.

Grüsse

Andras

That worked perfectly!

With the next update that problem should be fixed anyway?!

Thank you very much!

Danke

🙂 Happy I could help.

Yes, with the next update it should be fixed. I already contacted the people responsible for the German translation and it has already been approved.

Cheers,
Andras
