headermenu.xml

Yeah I ask allot of questions but its a large plugin ^_^
so...

no new menu link is created when installing the plugin;
headermenu.xml:

Source code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE data SYSTEM "http://www.woltlab.com http://www.woltlab.com/XSD/headerMenu.dtd"><data>	<import>		<headermenuitem name="wcf.header.menu.linkpartner">			<icon>linkpartnerM.png</icon>			<link>index.php?form=linkpartnerRequest</link>			<showorder>4</showorder>		</headermenuitem>	</import></data>

and in the package:

	Source code
1	<headermenu>headermenu.xml</headermenu>

and still not being installed, why is this?

You have to use the pagemenu.pip.

The headermenu.pip is outdated since Burning Board 3.1.x.

This is caused by a wrong language category, it should match the existing one, otherwise you will cover the existing one (this is a bit weird).

It's a bit difficult to explain: This issue is cased by the way the language system currently works. Each language item is resolved itself, first it tries to guess the language category multiple times (each time with a bigger range of possible values) until it finds one. If the language system was unsuccessful it displays the raw value (the language variable itself).

But when it actually finds a valid category it assumes that every other language item would match the same category, whereas it might not. An example:

WBB Portal 2 uses the language category "wbb.portal"
Some 3rd party developers used the category "wbb.portal.box"

In this situation the language system first resolves "wbb.portal" as valid category and loads the appropriate items. Next it encounters a variable which is not available within this category and tries to guess the right category, ending up with "wbb.portal.box" with a successful match. The next item which starts with "wbb.portal.box" is now assumed to be located within "wbb.portal.box" but it actually resides within the category "wbb.portal" which is not assumed to be valid anymore, thus this (and any similar variables) cannot be resolved successful anymore.

I hope this explanation was helpful, if not feel free to ask a specific question - at least English is not my mother language (even though this topic is not even easy to explain in German!)

Edit: This issue is solved in WCF 2.0
Edit2: Which language category did you pick for your language variables?

Using the english one. (standard)
Maybe it is because I copied the pagemenu.xml from portals?

made some quick edjustments and then found out the lang variable was wrong..
maybe that is causing it, is there an way to fix it or delete the other language variable

(deinstalled the other plugin servral times now and changed the language variable)

edit;

deleted wbb.header.menu category cause it was in my language file (deleted it in de database)
still it aint displaying it correctly
