[TYPO3-dev] ext developer: please convert locallang.php to locallang.xml!

[Rupert Germann]

Hi,

In the new tt_news version I uploaded yesterday the locallang files are
converted to XML.

there was only one problem that might happen with other extensions, too:
tt_news adds a wizard icon to the new-content-element wizard. The script
which adds this icon (class.tx_ttnews_wizicon.php) had a hardcoded
reference to a locallang.php file in it. I had to change some lines to make
it work again with XML files:

old:
function includeLocalLang()     {
        include(t3lib_extMgm::extPath("tt_news")."locallang.php");
        return $LOCAL_LANG;
}

new:
function includeLocalLang()     {
        $llFile = t3lib_extMgm::extPath('tt_news').'locallang.xml';
        $LOCAL_LANG = t3lib_div::readLLXMLfile($llFile, $GLOBALS['LANG']->lang);
        return $LOCAL_LANG;
}

greets
rupert
