Hey there,
i feel stupid asking this, but I need some help with using the language helper's lang() function inside an advanced module.

Here's what I did

modulename/language/english/modulename_lang.php
contains my $lang array 
 
$lang['test'] = "Test"
in my view i go 

<?=lang('test');?>
result: nothing!

what am I doing wrong? what puzzles me is understanding how the language helper is supposed to load my language files without me having to tell.. ?

    The language file needs to be loaded first before that will appear. To load you can do the following:
    $this->load->module_language('modulename', 'modulename');
    This is assuming the module the language file is in a module of "modulename" and is named "modulename_lang".
