Hi, I use Gloc plugin to create some localisation and it works great on my local webbrick server. Unfortunately It doesn’t work anymore when I upload the gloc dir to vendor/plugins on my host. I always get this error: “uninitialized constant GLoc” The error occures when environment.rb is executing this: ``` GLoc.set_config :default_language => :nl GLoc.clear_strings_except :fr, :nl GLoc.set_kcode GLoc.load_localized_strings ``` Did I miss something? I’m getting really frustrated because my whole app uses Gloc greetings, Temmesta ---

Hi, Sounds like the plugin isn’t being initialised. So you’re sure it’s in vendor/plugins/gloc/\* ? Maybe you should modify gloc’s init.rb and just add a line to output loaded or something so that you know if it’s being called or not. Ur host might’ve set things up differently somehow (?). If it’s not being called you could just manually add it to the load path and require it. Golly ---

I’m happy that you replied so quick :). I’m absolutely sure it’s in vendor/plugins/gloc . I’m a rails newbie so I’m not sure how I can output something from the init.rb. I can’t do puts ‘blablabla’ because I won’t be able to see server output with my dreamhost account. So then I tried to to add this in my environment.rb : config.load\_paths += %W( {RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/gloc {RAILS\_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/gloc/lib ) this didn’t work :(. I also tried other plugins and they work so I’m not sure it’s a problem with my host. Any suggestions? Temesta ---

I could give you temporary acces to my files so you could take a quick look at it. I would really appreciate it if you want to do this. Let me know something and I’ll e-mail you a login and passw. I’ll create simple gloc test controller & view so you can see it doesn’t work. greetings, Temesta ---

Hmm, it’s really wierd that other plugins are loading but GLoc isn’t… ok, try just adding the gloc paths to the load path and manually require it then. Again it’s very odd that that’s happening. And also u can u can just use puts to see if the init file is being loaded but you can output text to a file and check that instead. good luck 🙂 Golly ---

Do you have the following in your RAILS\_ROOT/vendor/plugins/gloc/init.rb require ‘gloc’ require ‘gloc-ruby’ require ‘gloc-rails’ require ‘gloc-rails-text’ Bill Davenport wrote: > > The error occures when environment.rb is executing this: > > > > ``` > > GLoc.set_config :default_language => :nl > > GLoc.clear_strings_except :fr, :nl > > GLoc.set_kcode > > GLoc.load_localized_strings > > > > ``` > > GLoc.set\_config :default\_language =\> :es > GLoc.clear\_strings\_except :en, :es > GLoc.set\_kcode > GLoc.load\_localized\_strings > > I am using Rails 2.0.2 and put the initialization in environment.rb.

Seems that I had deleted a ) in my environment.rb file. However, a new error has cropped up when I do a script/server. /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.0.2/lib/active\_support/dependencies.rb:266:in `load\_missing\_constant’: uninitialized constant GLoc (NameError) bill V.
