Hi JUX Team,
First of all, thank you for a great module — it works very well.
While configuring it on a multilingual Joomla site, I noticed that not all parameter labels can be translated via language files.
For example, in mod_jux_news_wall_pro.xml several labels appear to be hardcoded, such as:
label="Columns"
label="Enable Filter"
label="Readmore Lightbox"
label="Search"
label="Content Alignment"
Since these are written directly as text instead of language keys, they cannot be translated using .ini language overrides.
Would it be possible to replace hardcoded labels with language constants, for example:
label="MOD_JUX_NEWS_WALL_PRO_COLUMNS_LABEL"
so they can be properly translated?
Additionally, some option values such as:
Left, Center, Right
Default
also appear to be hardcoded in XML.
Using Joomla language keys (either custom keys or Joomla core keys like JGLOBAL_LEFT) would allow full multilingual compatibility.
Date localization
I also noticed that month names appear in English on the frontend (e.g. “February”).
If PHP date() is used for formatting (for example F j, Y), month names will always be English.
Would it be possible to use Joomla’s date helper instead, for example:
HTMLHelper::_('date', $item->publish_up, $params->get('formattime'), true);
This would ensure month names follow the Joomla site language automatically (Danish, German, etc.).
I believe these improvements would make the module fully compliant with Joomla multilingual standards and benefit all international users.
Thank you for considering this.
Best regards,
Henrik Larsen
