use custom language files

Normally module authors add language files using this example.

If you want to enable custom language files in your addon please go this way:

create a file called register_language.php and put it in the root of your module directory.

This file should contain this content:

/**
 * @module          your module
 * @author          LEPTON project
 * @copyright       2015-2016 LEPTON project
 * @link            http://www.LEPTON-cms.org
 * @license         http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html
 * @license_terms   please see LICENSE and COPYING files in your package
 *
 */
 
 // include class.secure.php to protect this file and the whole CMS!
if (defined('LEPTON_PATH')) {   
   include(LEPTON_PATH.'/framework/class.secure.php');
} else {
   $oneback = "../";
   $root = $oneback;
   $level = 1;
   while (($level < 10) && (!file_exists($root.'/framework/class.secure.php'))) {
      $root .= $oneback;
      $level += 1;
   }
   if (file_exists($root.'/framework/class.secure.php')) {
      include($root.'/framework/class.secure.php');
   } else {
      trigger_error(sprintf("[ %s ] Can't include class.secure.php!", $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), E_USER_ERROR);
   }
}
// end include class.secure.php
 
 
require_once('info.php'); 
if (isset ($wb)) {
	/**
	 *	load the correct language-file for frontend
	 */
	if (file_exists (LEPTON_PATH.'/templates/'.DEFAULT_TEMPLATE.'/frontend/'.$module_directory.'/'.LANGUAGE.'.php')) {
			require_once (LEPTON_PATH.'/templates/'.DEFAULT_TEMPLATE.'/frontend/'.$module_directory.'/'.LANGUAGE.'.php');
	}
	else {
		$lang = (dirname(__FILE__))."/languages/". LANGUAGE .".php";
		require_once ( !file_exists($lang) ? (dirname(__FILE__))."/languages/EN.php" : $lang );
	}
}
else {
	/**
	 *	load the correct language-file for backend
	 */
	if (file_exists (LEPTON_PATH.'/templates/'.DEFAULT_THEME.'/backend/'.$module_directory.'/'.LANGUAGE.'.php')) {
			require_once (LEPTON_PATH.'/templates/'.DEFAULT_THEME.'/backend/'.$module_directory.'/'.LANGUAGE.'.php');
	}
	else {
		$lang = (dirname(__FILE__))."/languages/". LANGUAGE .".php";
		require_once ( !file_exists($lang) ? (dirname(__FILE__))."/languages/EN.php" : $lang );
	}
}

 

Include this file wherever neccessary in your addon with

//	load the correct language-file
require_once (LEPTON_PATH."/modules/your_module/register_language.php");

All the user has to do is

• for frontend: put the modified module language files in a directory with the same name as the addon placed in /your_template/frontend/addon_name
• for backend: put the modified module language files in a directory with the same name as the addon placed in /your_theme/backend/addon_name

 The system will now load first custom language file if they exist.
