Documentation - Configuration

As of Huru Helpdesk version 0.89, as part of the continuing effort to leverage more and more of the Joomla! framework and remove some of the more archaic leftovers from Huru's roots as a port of an ASP application, Huru has changed to using Joomla! language files for translations.

For backward compatibility, upgrade installations will prioritize existing language strings contained in the database over those found in the new language files.  This means that, if you have modified the strings in your existing installation, your modifications will still be active after you upgrade to the new version.

Please note that, if Huru 0.89 sees strings in the database, it will give you a config warning on the administrator control panel.  This can safely be ignored, it is just a reminder that the database strings will override the language file strings.

Also, the administrator views associated with managing and maintaining the language strings in the database remain in version 0.89 for backward compatibility and can be used to maintain language strings present from earlier installed versions.  New language strings added for version 0.89, however, do not exist in the database and may be managed via the Joomla! language files if desired.

New installations will still have the huruhelpdesk_langstrings table installed to preserve code integrity, but no strings will be put into the table.

To edit the language strings in the Joomla! language files, you can edit the eb-GB.com_huruhelpdesk.ini files located in the languages/en-GB and administrator/languages/en-GB folders with a text editor.
