Changing js.browser_update text doesn't apply on no JS views

  1. Change js.browser_update in Customise > Text.

  2. Open Discourse in IE10

  3. Default message is shown instead of customised one

AFAIK JS text customizations run in Javascript. Since our mode for old browsers is plain HTML without Javascript, anything JS won’t run in there. This behavior is expected.

It’s set here. https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/vendor/assets/javascripts/browser-update.js.erb#L29

So it should be applicable. :man_shrugging:

Oh, that won’t work anymore as we are removing all globals, with I18n being the one that was removed last week.

It may work after a rebuild @zcuric.

Not working unfortunately. We did a release today and rebuild the app, same thing.

I have the same problem. I thought when I first changed js.browser_update it did display on an old browser (but I’m not 100% sure now), but today I see that it shows the original text. Is there any way round this… maybe treating this particular message differently, as mostly when this message is displayed Javascript won’t be on? Maybe a short plugin?

La razón por la que viste este trabajo en un navegador y luego no en otro, podría ser porque algunos navegadores muy antiguos no admiten la traducción del lado del cliente, mientras que otros sí.

Primero intentamos ejecutar la traducción y, si no funciona, recurrimos a una instancia codificada de forma rígida del mensaje predeterminado en inglés:

Desafortunadamente, no hay mucho más que podamos hacer al respecto. Esperamos que la gente deje esos navegadores en algún momento.
