Language Editor v0.1 based on jEditable.

demo | source

This is my first contribution to the CodeIgniter community. I needed a way to easily edit the language file without having to open the file itself. So I thought I’d design a (very) simple non-obstrusive interface.

This is pretty simple with very little configuration to do. This actually consists in

edit in place script from http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/jeditable


/js/jquery.jeditable.mini.js

a simple config file


/system/application/config/language_editor.php

a controller


/system/application/controllers/editor.php

the library


/system/application/libraries/language_editor.php

a slightly modified version of the language helper


/system/helpers/language_helper.php

At the moment, it doesn’t support adding new text element, but it’s on the to-do list. It’s in very beta stage, so if you come across bugs, report’em here.

Also, be aware that there is no security layer at all. Meaning, anyone can access this controller, unless you add your own security check. So be careful if you ever use it on a production site.

I modified the language helper so it implements the jEditable plugin. If you already use the helper in your page, it will not break anything thing.

// Added a third optional true/false parameter (default true) 
// It allows enableing/disableing of the edit in place feature
function lang($line, $id = '', $eip = true)
{
    $index    = $line;
    
    $CI =& get_instance();
    $CI->config->load('language_editor');
    
    $line = $CI->lang->line($line);
    if ($id != '')
    {
        $line = '<label for="'.$id.'">'.$line."</label>";
    }
    
    // Returns differs if Edit In Place is enabled or not
    if($CI->config->item('enable_eip') && $eip !== false)
        return '<em><p class="eiplang" id="' . $index . '" lang="english">' . $line . '</p></em>';
    else
        return $line;
}

The config is pretty simple.

// This is the master switch to disabled edit in place system-wide.
$config['enable_eip']    = true;

// This array contains the different languages.
$config['available_languages']    = array('english');

// This is the path to the language file (included in CI)
// Unless you have you language files somewhere else, do not edit these two params.
$config['path']            = './system/language/';
$config['path_custom']    = './system/application/language/';

// Unless you change the name of the controller, do not edit
$config['base_controller']        = 'index.php/editor/';

Syntax errors everywhere.

Like WTF

$link = "<a >language_editor->_base_controller) . "\">Back to language list</a><br />"; 

May be just post bug. You should put your code in archive ready for download…

and what does that mean? Do you want to include this editor in your CMS or you are hijacking my thread?
