Lines 78 and 79 in the PR are the same as the lines in the existing file?

This is the original installation administrator/components/com_actionlogs//tmpl/actionlogs/default.php:

79                         $extension = strtok($item->extension, '.');
80                         ActionlogsHelper::loadTranslationFiles($extension); ?>

@dmb0058 Yes, that's right. But administrator/components/com_actionlogs//tmpl/actionlogs/default.php is for component, the module does not have that similar lines and I believe that's the reason causing the issue. Could you check to see if the change in this PR address your issue?

[dmb0058]

Ahh I see, sorry. I noticed that administrator/modules/mod_latestactions/tmpl/default.php doesn't have the ActionHelper lines but I was looking at the wrong place for the PR (github_newbie :))

I applied the patch and it works perfectly - thank you 🥇

Great. Could you please go to https://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/46540 and report your test result? We require two successful tests for each PR before it can be merged

I have 42 actions logged throughout my component.

Before applying the patch none of the translated strings appeared in the "Latest Actions" module on the Home Dashboard, instead the message keys were reported.

After applying the patch each of the 42 translated strings are now correctly displayed with the username and action/item inserted.

Is this enough to merge the PR?

Hello @dmb0058, there will need to be a 2nd test minimum for the maintainers to be able for the PR to be RTC and merged once the maintainers team evaluate/decide to include it in the next/appropriate release.

Thank you for reporting the issue and for the test.
