Placeholders?Where can I modify them?

[robotnick]

Hi!
I've been checking the 3.2 documentation and I'm unable to find an answer, same with old documentation.
As far as I understand, the  {placeholders} are used in the Layouts so we can flexible addapt them to our needs. This is a great feature.

However, I've the following issue:
Where are the {placeholders} defined?E.g: {files_title_text} is substituted automagically by "Files:" string. Where does that "Files:" come from?So I can tell it to paint "Your files:"?

Also, my kindly suggestion is to remove styles from all the placeholders, otherwise the Layout forms loses part of its big potential.
E,g: The placeholder {pic_is_new} is in my case substituted by <span class="jdbutton jorange jstatus"> NEW </span>.

If I want to modify how the "New item" button is shown, I'm forced to:
a)Discover where the {pic_is_new} is defined so i can change it to, e.g, <span class="myownstyle">New</span>. This is the correct way.
b)The hackish way, hacking the jorange/jdbutton/jstatus class in the .css file so instead painting an orange button it paints a purple one.

Hope the suggestion makes sense and someone also can help me finding where those {placeholders} come from.

Hi.

The label text comes from the language files. So when you need a other text, search it in your frontend language file and change it. You can do this in the jD layout manager.

Thanks Arno, and the {pic_is_new}? So I can modify its styling

- when you have selected a pic for this status, it is used in the default php like this:

Code Select Expand

   
        $newpic = '<img src="'.JURI::base().'images/jdownloads/newimages/'.$jlistConfig['picname.is.file.new'].'" alt="" />';

        // compute for NEW symbol
        $days_diff = JDHelper::computeDateDifference(date('Y-m-d H:i:s'), $this->item->date_added);
        if ($jlistConfig['days.is.file.new'] > 0 && $days_diff <= $jlistConfig['days.is.file.new']){
            // is the old button used?
            if ($jlistConfig['use.css.buttons.instead.icons'] == '0'){           
                $body = str_replace('{pic_is_new}', $newpic, $body);
            } else {
                // CSS Button is selected
                $body = str_replace('{pic_is_new}', '<span class="jdbutton '.$status_color_new.' jstatus">'.JText::_('COM_JDOWNLOADS_NEW').'</span>', $body);
            }   
        } else {   
            $body = str_replace('{pic_is_new}', '', $body);
        }

- when you have activated the new css buttons in jD configuration, you can change the css classes in the file: JOOMLA/components/com_jdownloads/assets/css/jdownloads_buttons.css
- this can you also do in the jD layout manager
