Please add this proposal in the Feature Tracker with the .diff as a file. Thanks.

hello,

I like the idea. Would be a good addition. :)
I tested your patch:

Remarks:
1. Post the proposal as a patch in the feature tracker with
instructions of use (i.e. create the new table, etc.)
2. You are modifying /media/system/js/mootools-core-uncompressed.js
and I guess this is an oversight.
3. "Search text you want to change" is not working here
4. Not standard coding

regards
JM

Hi,

while supporting our component we come often across people who want
to change the language output.
It has to be explained then in which file the string can be found so
that it can be edited.

With the new version of Joomla! it is possible to create language
overrides so that the changes aren't lost anymore during the
updates. This is great, but the user still has to find the correct
language file in order to detect which language constant he has to
override.

With this pull request I'd like to suggest a new manager which
simplifies that.
It's a new tab in language manager in which users can create
language overrides for any installed language.

In the edit view a search can be done for language strings the user
wants to change. The script will then take completely care of the
override.ini files.

This way people can change any language output of their site without
having to know anything about language constants or override.ini
files.

Please let me know what you think about that.

Regards
Chraneco

Hi,

thank you very much for your feedback.

Post the proposal as a patch in the feature tracker with instructions of use (i.e. create the new table, etc.)

The created tracker item can be found here:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=27320

Hopefully I created the patch file correctly (I'm new to Github)

One new database table has to be created additionally:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS #__overrider (
id int(10) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT COMMENT 'Primary Key',
constant varchar(255) NOT NULL,
string text NOT NULL,
file varchar(255) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

You are modifying /media/system/js/mootools-core-uncompressed.js and I guess this is an oversight.

Sorry, this was indeed unintentional, I reverted it.

"Search text you want to change" is not working here

This may have several causes:

1. A JavaScript error occured. Hopefully this is solved with my last commits. I tested it with Firefox 8, Opera 11.60, Safari 5.1.2 and Internet Explorer 9 so far.

2. The database table didn't exist (I should have mentioned that there's a new one).

3. An SQL error occured. With commit d447c14 the third argument '), (' for instantiating JDatabaseQueryElement (line 1165) in method 'values' of file 'databasequery.php' was removed. I think the method 'values' cannot be used as usual anymore due to that. As a workaround I create one of the queries in model 'strings.php' manually now (without using JDatabaseQuery).

Not standard coding

Do you mean the code style?
I tried to apply that code style guide:
http://developer.joomla.org/standards/
but I guess it holds only for the platform?

Which style guide do I have to use?

Regards
Chraneco

Hi. If you haven't done so, please add an issue in the Feature Tracker
here: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemBrowse&tracker_id=8549.
Thanks! Mark Dexter

Hi,

I already handed the link in with my second post above, but here it is again for completeness:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=27320

Regards
Chraneco

Going on now the discussion on tracker

WOuld you send a pull request to https://github.com/elinw/joomla-cms/tree/pbf2011 please so it can be tested in pbf.

Hi,

I'm not sure how to do that (I'm new to Github).
If I click on 'Pull Request' it wants to edit the current pull request rather than create a new one for another branch.

Shall I simply change it to yours?

Regards
Chraneco

@Chraneco leave it as is. I'll merge your pull request into my local check out and issue the merge request (it'll keep your history, just a couple of merge commits on top).

Thank you very much!
