Just been thinking about a couple of my recent component tweaks and realized that sometimes in forms you just want to put a note at the top or bottom such as "welcome to our site" or perhaps a more detailed description of what the person needs to do or simply just some terms and conditions in the footer of the form

i had a number of forms that needed some personalization or additional notes about what or why this information is required
- to make the text easy to manage and for others to modify i created a language file entry for each note

Of course that's when I thought it would be great if we could have a brick type that creates a custom language file entry!

My thoughts would be that it is simply a text field that is configurable in a form brick and any text written inside is duplicated in the language file

The language file entry format could be similar to componentname_formname_custom_note1 or one could define a custom value for note1 using the brick label


************LANGUAGE FILE BRICK*******************
Welcome to my form!
In just as few minutes you will be on your way
But first we need to get some details

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
