Hello Members,

sorry for having my post in a different thread(that I thought was related)

I have tried adding a language (Primary language) in the student application form and I cant trace the editable field. There are so may languages worldwide and so currently wanted to add “Somali” as a home primary language field as its mandatory field. approach

Thank You.

Hi, Tess! The fix that was suggested should work, but we have also made an update to version 22 that will automatically add Somali as an available language, without causing errors or duplicates if you have already added it manually. You can view the commit at the following link.

Hope this helps!

Sorry for raising an old thread. I have several languages that I would like to add to the “Home language” form fields. Is adding them to the DB table the only option? If I add them that was, will they not be removed by the next update?

Hi achief, you can add them to the languages table in the database and they won’t be overwritten with future updates. However, if these are languages missing from the list in general, feel free to share a list of them and we can add them to the next version, so all schools have access to them. Thanks!

Thanks @ross.

Hi @sandra

Kindly add Putonghua to the language list.

Thanks

Hi Tieku, I’ve added this to v28. You can apply it to any installation with the following SQL, the INSERT IGNORE will prevent any clashes when this line is run in later updates.

INSERT IGNORE INTO `gibbonLanguage` (`gibbonLanguageID`, `name`) VALUES (NULL, 'Putonghua');
