Payment Plugin development / languages

Hello,
I successfully developed a new payment plugin (allowing austrian and german users to pay through their own online banking tool).
I now search the documentation on how to include language files into the XML manifest.
can anyone guide me to an example for this please?

kind regards

Hello

This eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/develop...n/dev-payment-plugin should help

Thank you Tuan for your (lightspeed) answer!

However, I already went through the development documentation, but could not find any reference to "language files" (did I overlook something?). As such payment plugins are not installed through the Joomla-Installer, but through your own one, I would need some guidance here...

Maybe you could screenshot the relevant parts from another (existing) payment plugin manifest?

thank you again

Hello Ruediger

At the moment, we store all language items related to payment plugins in component language file. So please add the language items to the component language file if it's possible

Ok, I now took a different approach, and it seems to work fine (at least as far as I can see for the moment):

My plugin now also has a "language" directory, which is also copied to the host based on the manifest file:
...
</config>
<files>
<filename>mypayment.php</filename>
<folder>mypayment</folder>
<folder>language</folder>
</files>
</install>

In this folder the standard Joomla language structure is implemented, and the language files are stored there accordingly.

in the __construct method of the plugin I also load my language files:

$baseDir = dirname(__FILE__);
$language = JFactory::getLanguage();
$language->load('com_eventbooking_payment_mypayment',
$baseDir, $language->getTag(), true);


You might want to check this out and adapt your documentation for other developers (if you agree this works)...
