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

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
