[Typo3-dev] pls. help: locallang_general.xml vs. locallang_general.php

[mario]

Dear dev,

I am trying to develop my first typo3 ext (really, to combine a couple
of extant extensions).

On a point I am trying to use something I read on this list (see below
1), but I get an error msg (see below 2). I am unable to find something
which helps me within the archives.

Thanks a lot for any advise.
mario

yes, I guess you mean something like
typo3/sysext/lang/locallang_general.xml

you can acces them f.e. in your tca.php files like

'starttime' => Array (
	'exclude' => 1,	
	'l10n_mode' => 'mergeIfNotBlank',
-->	'label' => 'LLL:EXT:lang/locallang_general.php:LGL.starttime',
	'config' => Array (
		'type' => 'input',
		'size' => '10',
		'max' => '20',
		'eval' => 'datetime',
		'checkbox' => '0',
		'default' => '0'
	)
)


2// If I do something along the lines above, I get the following error
msg.
