View/Edit/Save Language Files via Admin

[Design75]

The idea would be to (1st) create a function that copied the core language files to the template override directory.

(2nd) only including the files within the template override directory for editing.

I can't see how this would cause a security issue, all the html_includes define files are also in the language directories but then again that is why I ask, get community involvement, show a demo, get community requests and then package a plugin instead of just posting code that will result in a hundred more questions (seems my fingers got away from me).

So no, I don't see a security issue.

I have it functional except the coping of core files, I started with scratch code then I realized what I was doing was trying to recreate Define Pages Editor. Hmmm.....

Great idea !!

I had the same idea some time ago but are lacking the time to start with this project. I do not think there are any real security problems, since the define pages are doing the the same thing, except fir the copying part.
I do have a piece of code reading defines from a file and lining them up in a form, from another project.

That sound pretty cool and could possibly be useful.

The only thing that scares me, is that this may create allot more "blank page" threads, I have a script I put together many years ago that when a file was requested it made a backup and stored it in a separate folder and restored that file by request but that was when my repository was a plastic binder.
