Searching categories doesn't work

[Hans-Gerd]

Hi,
on community search from existing categories doesn’t work. Result: no matches found.

Many not translated terms for example “no matches terms found”, “search for existing categories”, “Add New Event”, “Enter URL for event information”, …

Cheers,
Hans-Gerd

Hi! You posted this topic in our Pre-Release Forum for Community Events 4.5, however the pre-release period has now ended and Community Events 4.5 is generally available.

If you are still using one or more beta releases, please do take the time to update to the latest stable releases and let us know if you still need assistance.

Thanks!

Hi Hans-Gerd,

Thanks for the note 🙂

Can you confirm if you have since upgraded from the beta/pre-release to the latest Community Events version and are you still experiencing the same issue?

If you are, can you let me know if this relates to WPML (as a note: currently, we do not officially support integration between Community Events and WPML).

Thanks!

Hi Barry,
there is no issue with choice of categories: Reason is our custom-built form edit-event.php.

But in mine opinion the solution with the listbox is not so good, because the choice of many categories is more expensive as before with checkboxes.

Hi Hans-Gerd,

So do you mean you don’t wish to upgrade, because you prefer the previous version of the Community Events form/your customized version – or is the lack of translations for parts of the new user interface the biggest problem?

I just want to be sure I’m understanding you correctly.

[Hans-Gerd]

Hi Barry,
no, we will upgrade to the newest version after solving the issues. The issue with translations we have solved on our website, but there is another issue regarding our customized version.

But also I think choosing many categories by listbox is a more inconvenient solution than choosing categories by checkboxes.

Cheers,
Hans-Gerd

Sounds good!

Hi,
just found an similar issue:
The same term “search for existing categories” is used also for tags. Missing in POT-File.
See screenshot

Hi Hans-Gerd!

That probably shouldn’t be used twice in two different contexts, good catch!

It is however present in the POT file (see here) … is it possible you are still using our beta release?

Hi Barry,
I’m just a little confused: I see only one string opening your link: “Search from existing categories”

But there have to be two strings – see screenshot above:
“Search from existing categories” = “Suche in existierenden Kategorien” (this exist) and
“Search from existing tags” = “Suche in existierenden Schlagwörtern”

Cheers,
Hans-Gerd

The same string is used for both, which may be an oversight (and I logged a bug for the team to investigate further/consider creating a unique string for each taxonomy).

For the time being, though, I’m afraid the same string is shared in both locations.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
