Wow, that is interesting! I will have a look at this again for the next update
Thanks!

I've just discovered your component, and i think it's a good project !
Really interresting, and promissing!

I'm a developper too, of extensions, so i've got ideas for this component (but not always time!)

About liveupdate files, what can be done is to set "standard" in file_folder tags.

For example, using "administrator" is not good, because it is a joomla core folder.

I think, we can use exactly as it is for joomla language packs : "admin" and "site".

So that, we can add a function, if "admin" or "site" not found, to use the path indicated in file_folder tag.

Something like this :
[code type=php]
if (in_array('admin', $fileFilter)) {
$path = $adminPath.$fileName;
}
elseif (in_array('site', $fileFilter)){
$path = $frontendPath.$fileName;
}
else {
$path = $filePath.$fileName; // (or only $filePath, if use of all file_folder tag, but getting file path without filename can help to use filepath as target in xml)
}[/code]

Where file path is the path wanted by user for a specific file, in config file.

For example :

[code type=config]file_filter = administrator/components/com_XXX/liveupdate/language/<lang>/<lang>.liveupdate.ini
source_file = administrator/components/com_XXX/liveupdate/language/en-GB/en-GB.liveupdate.ini
host = https://www.transifex.com
source_lang = en_GB[/code]


Like this, you can add file everywhere you need (for example, in a module folder, to be able to replace missing strings in a module, by english strings)

Hi Daniel,
unfortunately I'm not a coder (php illiterate), so I'm unable to write code for a pull request. But maybe somebody else can take care of this...

Don't know if you have found the solution, but if not, there is one :

In ROOT/administrator/components/com_ctransifex/helpers/package.php

Replace this :
[code type=php] $adminPath = JPATH_ROOT . '/media/com_ctransifex/packages/'.$project->transifex_slug.'/'.$jLang.'/admin/';
$frontendPath = JPATH_ROOT . '/media/com_ctransifex/packages/'.$project->transifex_slug.'/'.$jLang.'/frontend/';

if(in_array('admin', $fileFilter) || in_array('administrator', $fileFilter) || in_array('backend', $fileFilter)) {
$path = $adminPath.$fileName;
}
else {
$path = $frontendPath.$fileName;
}[/code]

By this :
[code type=php] $adminPath = JPATH_ROOT . '/media/com_ctransifex/packages/'.$project->transifex_slug.'/'.$jLang.'/admin/';
$frontendPath = JPATH_ROOT . '/media/com_ctransifex/packages/'.$project->transifex_slug.'/'.$jLang.'/frontend/';

if(in_array('admin', $fileFilter) || in_array('administrator', $fileFilter) || in_array('backend', $fileFilter)) {
$path = $adminPath.$fileName;
}
elseif (in_array('liveupdate', $fileFilter)){
$path = $filePath.$fileName;
}
else {
$path = $frontendPath.$fileName;
}[/code]

Replace this :
[code type=php] if(JFolder::exists($folder.'/admin')) {
JFolder::delete($folder.'/admin');
}
if(JFolder::exists($folder.'/frontend')) {
JFolder::delete($folder.'/frontend');
}
if(JFile::exists($folder.'/install.xml')) {
JFile::delete($folder.'/install.xml');
[/code]

By this :
[code type=php] if(JFolder::exists($folder.'/admin')) {
JFolder::delete($folder.'/admin');
}
if(JFolder::exists($folder.'/frontend')) {
JFolder::delete($folder.'/frontend');
}
if(JFolder::exists($folder.'/liveupdate')) {
JFolder::delete($folder.'/liveupdate');
}
if(JFile::exists($folder.'/install.xml')) {
JFile::delete($folder.'/install.xml');[/code]

And then, Replace this :
[code type=php] $admin = self::getFiles($folder . '/admin');

if($admin) {
$adminFiles = '<files folder="admin" target="administrator/language/'.$jLang.'">'.$admin.'</files>';
}
$content = str_replace('@@ADMIN_FILENAMES@@', $adminFiles , $content);
$frontend = self::getFiles($folder . '/frontend');

if($frontend) {
$frontendFiles = '<files folder="frontend" target="language/'.$jLang.'">'.$frontend.'</files>';
}
$content = str_replace('@@FRONTEND_FILENAMES@@', $frontendFiles, $content);

[/code]

By this :
[code type=php] $admin = self::getFiles($folder . '/admin');

if($admin) {
$adminFiles = '<files folder="admin" target="administrator/language/'.$jLang.'">'.$admin.'</files>';
}
$content = str_replace('@@ADMIN_FILENAMES@@', $adminFiles , $content);
$frontend = self::getFiles($folder . '/frontend');

if($frontend) {
$frontendFiles = '<files folder="frontend" target="language/'.$jLang.'">'.$frontend.'</files>';
}
$content = str_replace('@@FRONTEND_FILENAMES@@', $frontendFiles, $content);
$liveupdate = self::getFiles($folder . '/liveupdate');

if($liveupdate) {
$liveupdateFiles = '<files folder="admin" target="administrator/components/COM_NAME_OF_YOUR_COMPONENT/liveupdate/language/'.$jLang.'">'.$liveupdate.'</files>';
}
$content = str_replace('@@LIVEUPDATE_FILENAMES@@', $liveupdateFiles , $content);[/code]

Don't forget to replace COM_NAME_OF_YOUR_COMPONENT

You can do the same last change in ROOT/administrator/components/com_ctransifex/controllers/packager.raw.php

Then last edit in ROOT/administrator/components/com_ctransifex/assets/install.xml

Replace this :
[code type=xml] <fileset>
@@ADMIN_FILENAMES@@
@@FRONTEND_FILENAMES@@
</fileset>
[/code]
By this :
[code type=xml] <fileset>
@@ADMIN_FILENAMES@@
@@FRONTEND_FILENAMES@@
@@LIVEUPDATE_FILENAMES@@
</fileset>
[/code]

Then, in your Transifex config (added too in ctransifex), for file_folder, declare this :

SOURCE/liveupdate/language/<lang>/<lang>.liveupdate.ini

Hope this could help! B)

Note: this can be implement in a generic way, but it should maybe have to reconsider naming for frontend (as for admin, use of 'site' or 'frontend' and maybe not use of administrator to be able to use it in path for none language core folder)

Hi Daniel,
unfortunately I'm not a coder (php illiterate), so I'm unable to write code for a pull request. But maybe somebody else can take care of this...

That is interesting problem. Currently ctransifex can only package the language files of 1 extension & it tries to automatically figure out where to put the files:
https://github.com/compojoom/ctransifex/blob/master/source/administrator/components/com_ctransifex/helpers/package.php#L28

With the current code there is no way to put the liveupdate in the folder you want. Care to submit a pull request?
