Filtering translated spells by class

[eduardopato41]

Hi! I wanted to use your module to facilitate the process of adding new spells to my players' characters. Sadly, I created all phb spells in Brazilian Portuguese (using the official translated book) and nothing shows when filtering by CLASS. I believe the "spell-classes.json" are responsible for this, right? Is this something I can add this to the "pt-BR.json" on "lang" (to retain this changes over updates and stuff)? How should I add them for this to work? Or do I need to edit "spell-classes.json" directly? Thanks!

PS.: I don't know if this qualify as a issue but I could really use some help. I'm not a dev so i'm kinda lost :(

I'm sorry to only just see this; I realized my notifications were off because it's in the League's github.

Yes, spell-classes.json is the hacked way that CB does filtering by class (I guess this information is not easily accessible otherwise). Unfortunately I don't think adding anything to the lang file will help, because that's not consulted for classes.

You are welcome to hack this yourself for your install, but I am going to see if there's a better way of doing this long-term. Not just the language issue, but that new spells (like from Tasha's) are not currently included.

No worries. I'm still adding all monsters from the Monster Manual! After that I will hack this solution haha
Thanks for replying. And thank you, this module is awesome and exactly what I needed!

I know this is an old issue but its something that has cropped up for me as a content creator for some larger 3rd party publishers. They have custom spells in their content and users want to be able to sort them. I had a thought on a solution. Its not the greatest but it could work.
The content creator can create a json in the same format you use for the SRD spells for their own spells. Then you can create an import tool in Compendium Browser that can be pointed to the JSON file and the spells would be imported into Compendium Browser. My thought is it would simply copy all of the new spells into your existing json file. This would prevent you from having to add additional lines of code into the js file when they import. Its just additional data in the json. They would have to reimport every time there is an update to Compendium Browser which is unfortunate but it seems a small price to pay for the convenience of the feature. Hope its something you can add at some point. Thanks!
