how to generate xml install file and lang files for module

Post by andriesinfoserv »

i've uploaded a tarball of a little module i pieced together but i'm not sure how module devs are generating their modules' lang files and the xml file that is usually included with the tarball for users to use to install the module in cmsms admin. i guess i'm using the wrong terminology in my searches as I haven't found any info.

thanks in advance.

1. You need to add your center to the translation center
talk to reneh our translation center manager

2. Add the appropriate svn externals so that when you 'svn update' translations are pulled.

Here's a reference for the first two points:

3. to generate the .xml file you go to Extensions >> Modules and click the 'XML' icon on each row.
Follow me on twitter
Please post system information from "Extensions >> System Information" (there is a bbcode option) on all posts asking for assistance.

If you can't bother explaining your problem well, you shouldn't expect much in the way of assistance.
