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

Real time saver and great Component Builder tool ! I have been developing with J-Cook Pro Component Builder for several months now and can say with all honesty that this product/service is second to none. The product is feature rich and is being improved and added to all the time. Do yourself a favor if you need to build a Joomla! Component then you can do no wrong in trying the product. You will save on time and effort while being able to deliver your project on time. J-Cook pro does the hard work for you you then have the freedom to fully customise the end result for your own needs. 

One word: Awesome.
