Depends what ini file

If you're referring to the en-GB language ini file, of course it will be overwritten, every single time.
Thats why you have a full component built in Joomla core called "Language Manager" which allows you to make overrides in any language ini which will stay after you update.

If you refer to other ini files, they will most likely be overwritten too.
When it comes to php files, that depends. If you make an override for template php files, then not, but i guess you don't so yeah, that will be overwritten too.

Hello Eddie593,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Yes, that is depend on which file are you mentioned so that we can tell you that file is it will get overridden after update.

Yes, those privacy, group setting will be stay the same because after you update it will not touch in your database data.

By the way, thanks for sharing Darko

Hi Darko,

You can follow our documentation on this -> http://stackideas.com/blog/how-to-override-joomla-language-strings
If you still can't make it, can you provide us some language string which you would like to overridden in your Joomla language?
And provide us with your Joomla backend and FTP access as well.

Thanks for heading up on this, Steve

@Eddie look at these articles depending on your Joomla version
http://docs.joomla.org/Language_Overrides_in_Joomla
This is Joomla specific feature.

@Steve, what i did to deal with email logo is to create an override for the main email template file and replace logo call for it with my custom one.
It really is simple.

The file is
ROOT/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/emails/html/template.php
Copy that file and paste it into
ROOT/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_easysocial/emails/html
You probably won't have this folders, but you can create them. Just don't forget to put an empty index.html file in every directory you create manually.

After you paste it, open that file and edit this line:

<img src="<?php echo $logo;?>" />

replace it with

<img src="http://site.name/path/to/your/logo/image.png" />

Its a bit of the duct tape solution, but it will work.
Otherwise, I'm completely on your side when it comes to overriding it easier.

Im sorry but i can't seem to find a proper way to outline the code
Its always stripped down, maybe moderator can edit above post to show codes as they do show up on edit

hello Darko,

Thanks for sharing Your instruction is correctly

Hmm, I have a little bit lost in your previous reply, do you mean that you can't edit your own post in this post thread?

hello Steve,

I'm really sorry that missed up on your previous question, but you can follow the instruction as Darko provided that solution.

Hi Arlex,

that would be great if you can set it up for me. Basically our groups are called "teams and hubs"

And a few other changes. But if you can set it up like that than we can do the customization one last time.

That would mean in any future update, the changes wont be overwritten right?

How can i give you the access in a secure way?

Thanks

hello Eddie593 ,

Yes, we can assist you on this time, can you provide us some screenshot which language string you would like to modify?

Perhaps you provide us the language string at this post thread as well?

That would mean in any future update, the changes wont be overwritten right?

Yes, after overridden those language in Joomla overridden file.

How can i give you the access in a secure way?

*You can put the information in the optional information field below(SITE DETAILS). Don't worry about privacy. Only Support team can view the information.

Hi Arlex

Here you go.

I am also sending an image with an example of text we changed.

Theres a loooot of them though... cant we simply put the whole easysocial.ini there?

That would save me a bunch of time
