Hello I translated the phpbb in spanish and then tried it out.

Everything seemed to be ok exept for one thing. When an user wants to update his/her profile they are taken to the regular profile form and up to that point every thing seems ok exept that when they press the submit button they are taken to a blank page and the script does not execute the update.

Does anyone know what I could have done wrong and how could I fix this problem?

thank you.

This is not a phpBB Support forum, I suggest you check over at phpbb.com first, and if you do not get any help with them, then ask someone here. You will most likely get better results from them, as it is their software, and they know every line of code in it by heart... :D

I visited phpbb.com but no one replied to me. Does anyone know anything about it?

First off, I would suggest removing the language file, and checking to see that helps.

If you me you translated the whole code, then, since that is a unsupported modification, you definately wont get any help at phpbb.com, and it might be difficult for us, since I doubt very few people know spanish and are programmers

they didn't have a spanish language file already? :confused:

Actually the problem is in one of my non-spanish forum as well.

and yes they did have a spanish file already, not the spanish that I wanted.

I noticed that many people had the same problem also. Yesterday I reinstalled the forum, overiding the previous one. Everything worked just fine, but all the posts were gone. Then I started a restore file by file and I noticed that my config.php file was the one affecting the whole thing. Any ideas on how I can fix this config.php file without ereasing the posts?

The posts are in a database, they are not in a file. To change the language of phpBB, you should only have to edit the language files, nothing else.

ok, forget about the language. Let's take for example the one forum that wasn't translated but has the same problem. that's the forum that concerns me the most. When an user tries to change their profile information they are taken to a blank page. Does anyone know how I could fix this?

please help. thanks

Make a clean install, with a different table prefix, to the same database. Then, edit the config file, and change the table prefix to the one you had before.

and then i would recommend deleting the unused tables (the ones with the prefix you aren't using)

Hey I fixed it.

Actually it was just a miss-configuration on the admin panel.
You know how you can allow or dis-allow users to upload avatars right? well if I had the configuration on "yes" to allow users to upload avatars from their computer, then I would get this blank page.

I infer that it is due to my webhosting provider security or something. I tried putting it on "no" and it works just fine now. Thanks for all your help.

or maybe if I change permissions.......naaaaaaa forget it.

thanks all.
