[opencms-dev] Re: language file and modules

[Jorg Heymans]

Hi Publius,

My experience with language files is that they need to be enclosed in an 
xml block that refers to the class (dots replaced by underscores) that 
uses it. Now you specified "<com_opencms_testmodule>" as the enclosing 
block, this should probably be set to the name of the class that 
generates this dropdown.

Alternatively, search for the Strings "administration" and "explorer" in 
the VFS, maybe you find where there are specified and which classes are 
referencing it. Sorry i can't be of more help, my experience of language 
files refers only to contentdefinition classes and backoffice classes.

Regards
Jorg Heymans
