customising language string

[rotezecke]

in V1 I had my language string for extra fields customised. http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/customizi ... ge-strings The renamed-admin/custom/lang/en_US/admin.inc.php file back then contained:

Code: Select all

$lang['admin']['extra2'] = 'My string';

that does no longer work. I also tried

Code: Select all

$lang['extra2'] = 'My string';

but that doesn't work either (I [manually] cleared cache in between).

Could someone please enlighten me what the correct syntax / procedure is? Thanks.

for the record, I updated from latest 1.12.? to 2.1.4 using phar installer.

I just tried this exact step:

Code: Select all

mkdir -p admin/custom/lang
vi admin/custom/lang/en_US.php

Code: Select all

<?php
$lang['extra2'] = 'some funny text';

and had no issues.
That said, in 2.x more things are modules. i.e: CmsContentManager and Designmanager etc. so you may be trying to change the wrong string in the wrong file.

Thanks heaps. from the instruction page (link above)

Create a directory named admin/custom/lang/en_US/ (en_US can also be another language)
The language filename is: admin.inc.php

but your (working) example you posted is one level up and has a different name

admin/custom/lang/en_US.php

I dont know who handles documentation but if you happen to read this, could you please update that page. Thanks

I updated the documentation. Thanks.
