This would allow the system administrator to put custom strings in /etc/mantis/custom_strings_inc.php, and have them override the language strings (e.g. lang/strings_english.txt) in a way that won't break when upgrading the the package. -- Alistair Cunningham +1 888 468 3111 +44 20 799 39 799 sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://integrics.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#439959: No link for custom_strings_inc.php
Package: mantis
Version: 1.0.7+dfsg-1
There should be a symlink from core/custom_strings_inc.php to
/etc/mantis/custom_strings_inc.php. This would allow this code in
core/lang_api.php to work:
# Allow overriding strings declared in the language file.
# custom_strings_inc.php can use $g_active_language
$t_custom_strings = dirname ( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) .
DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'custom_strings_inc.php';
if ( file_exists( $t_custom_strings ) ) {
require( $t_custom_strings ); # this may be loaded multiple
times, once per language
}

That does not seem to be an optimal solution. You should be able to use this procedure anyways: 1) create a custom_strings_inc.php in /etc/mantis 2) link it to /usr/share/mantis/www/ and finally 3) include it from config_local.inc.php As config_local.inc.php is not touched during installation/upgrading (neither are self-created files) this is the preferred way and should not break when upgrading the package. If it would break, then it would be a bug.

Therefore removing the debian package will break because the directory is not empty, and installing the package on a new machine will not include the symlink.

Therefore removing the debian package will break No, it will not really break. But leave the local modifications alone. And thats fine, cause custom strings are really modifications and not something everybody needs. because the directory is not empty, and installing the package on a new machine will not include the symlink. Thats right. But where is the problem in this? Anyways, I'll think about touch'ing a custom_strings.inc.php during postinst and symlink it into the directory. This should solve your problems.
