Replace values list with language constant

It will display old saved values in view, and on form when you will edit exist record it resets on new values. I think so.

How will I have to deal in import with language constants? Do I write language constant or value in import file? Can I use some language override file or do I have to put defaut values in language manager in Joomla?

klox7 Do I write language constant or value in import file?

Yes, language constant - it will be a values.

Than translate it where you want.

Does anybody maybe know how to add custom .ini file for new constants (or overrides) in my Joomla template?

klox7 add custom .ini file for new constants (or overrides) in my Joomla template?

Do you mean the J! core feature and language manager? Or a spcial solution "outside the box"?

Apart from J! manager, you may edit the following files directly. Overrides are created and stored here... example for en-GB

FRONTEND

• language\overrides\en-GB.override.ini

BACKEND

• administrator\language\overrides\en-GB.override.ini

FYI - I remember FlexiContent was able to load extra custom language files. They had to be placed inside the respective flexicontent template folder. Is this your goal?

pepperstreet FRONTEND

• language\overrides\en-GB.override.ini

BACKEND

• administrator\language\overrides\en-GB.override.ini

This is exactly what I'm avoiding. I don't like how Joomla manages overrides because I can't group constants together.

If I edit administrator\language\overrides\en-GB.override.ini directly and add some comments inside then everytime someone adds another constant through admin it rewrites the whole file and deletes any custom code inside.

So I was thinking another file in overrides folder or custom file in my template folder.

I thought something like this would do it but no. :)

$language = JFactory::getLanguage();
$language->load('custom' , dirname(__FILE__), $language->getTag(), true);

klox7 everytime someone adds another constant through admin it rewrites the whole file and deletes any custom code inside.

Ah, good to know. Never checked or noticed that behavior. ;)

So I was thinking another file in overrides folder or custom file in my template folder.

Have a look at "FlexiContent" documentation... there is a hint about this feature. For technical background I would suggest to ask directly in their forum. (Or check their files manually.)
