Hello from germany,
what a wonderful thread name! Just investigating your very cool extensions and plugins. IncludeContentItem sounds great.

Though this is my first post here, I could not resist to make a request.

I would like to have an opinion about a RD Glossary and LinkMambot conversion? Is it possible? The initial developer seems to have no ambitions for a native version.

Thanks for listening.

Hi,

Went to the page. It's all in German.

Sorry, I've not studied German before. Need to understand the code before I can do the conversion.

Do you mean the coments in the code? Or the product description? Do you need a demo... i can send you a link ;-)

All of the above, especially the code. If I don't understand the code, I do not know the logic of the program flow.

Are there any german comments? I can try to translate them into english for you, if this is of any help.

Hi,

I just used Google Translate to translate the page, and also take a look at the codes.

Between components, modules and plugins, Joomla components are the most difficult to translate.

For modules and plugins, there are usually just one or two files to translate. For components, because it has both the frontend and backend piences, there are usually at least 10 files that you need to translate. And the worst part is you need to understand the logic flow among these 10+ files.

This is a very complicated component. I don't quite understand the original author's logic. I would suggest you write to the author, tell him that this is a very useful component, and ask politely if he can produce a Joomla 1.5 version. Frankly speaking, for the original author, because he knows the complete logic, he can easily do this in less than an hour. But not for an outsider who doesn't understand the logic.

Thank you very much for your thoughts and explanations. Me, and I think many others, already asked for a conversion by the author ;-) Thats why i actually asked here. (Same problem with PDF Indexer)

Anyway, I really appreciate the time you spend on my question! Maybe you could shed some light on my other post ;-)

Best regards.
