Configuration Editor is a Joomla Backend component developed to edit other components configuration and language files. It's class can also be used in any other component.
It can help in the process of translating a component, as long as the file is in the required format
It saves in the database the last edited date and user

• The files (configuration or language) have to be on the following format:

  
  	$var_name = "var_value";	//comment
  ?>

  Note that there is a TAB before each $var_name
• Configuration and language have to be done using variables NOT constants, in other words, you should not use the DEFINE function.

Once you have the Configuration Editor component installed, you can you its class in your own components. This class builds an array with all configuration or language variables.

require_once($mosConfig_absolute_path.
"/administrator/components/com_configeditor/configurationfile.class.php");
$filepath	= "/administrator/components/com_your_component_name/config.php"
//Creates a new ConfigurationFile Object and builds an array
//with all variable names, values and comments
$jconfig	= new ConfigurationFile($mosConfig_absolute_path.$filepath);
$CONFIG		= array();
//$CONFIG will recieve the variable list (will not be using the comments here anyway)
$CONFIG		= $jconfig->varlist;
//using the configuration variables
echo $CONFIG['var_name'];

To use this component in order to edit the configuration or language file you have to submit the file relative path as the following example:

<form action="index2.php?option=com_configeditor&task=edit" method="post" name="adminForm">
	<input name="file" type="text" value=" echo $filepath;?>" />
	<input name="submit" type="submit" value="Edit Configuration file" />
form>
