uddeIM 1.0 released

Hey, great work. Thanx a lot.

I'm new to Joomla. And it
But there was a little problem, installing the component in german or any other language than english. It says

There is no German (UTF- language file installed. uddeIM will use English (UTF-.

I found out that it looks for "German.php" instead of "german.php". So I got this message (at least at unix/linux systems).

I've modified install.uddeim.php at line 183 from
[code:1]
if (file_exists($pathtoadmin.'/language'.$postfix.'/'.$mosConfig_lang.'.php')) {
include_once($pathtoadmin.'/language'.$postfix.'/'.$mosConfig_lang.'.php');
[/code:1]

to

[code:1]
if (file_exists($pathtoadmin.'/language'.$postfix.'/'.strtolower($mosConfig_lang).'.php')) {
include_once($pathtoadmin.'/language'.$postfix.'/'.strtolower($mosConfig_lang).'.php');
[/code:1]

Maybe, this would help?

Thanx again.

There's a setting in the uddeIM configuration to choose if you language file is utf-8 or standard which is iso 8859-1

So maybe there's no german language file with utf-8. So you maybe check if there's a utf8 german language file or else you can set this setting at the system tab at the backend to standard iso 8859-1

The problem "rbickel" has is that the installed language file seems to be uppercase, instead of lowercase.

@rbickel: Do not modify the code. "strtolower" is not neccessary since Joomla language files are always lowercase. If not there is something wrong with your installation, maybe you have modified the language file and saved with a wrong filename (Windows user?).

I have tried to install the latest version to a joomla 1.5 site. But this error keeps coming out.

Poor server
Either the web server is overloaded, so it looses the connection to the database server or the database server is overloaded.

You can try following:
Remove the folder templates from the installation package (it contains several hundred files) and remove the corresponding lines from the XML file. Then try to install uddeIM and after installation upload the template folder separately (ftp). This minimizes the server load during install because of copy operations.

Sorry if this has been asked (it did by me) But I don't think anyone answered, sorry if I did miss it.
Thanks for this component, works great with our non CB installation.
I do have a question, how do you hide the admin from the users list? If there is no way at present, will there, in a future release, be an option in the setup in the back end to hide admin?
Cheers
