$conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] in settings.php conflicts with String Overrides Module

If by D4 you mean Drupal 4, it appears only supported for 5 and up.

Are you using Locale? Because different languages all have different string overrides.

same here... using 3 languages, i18n and locale. Nothing gets saved for "english". Haven't tried other languages.

ha! It takes you to post a comment on issue just to find a solution a moment later :)

If you used the other method of overriding strings (like I did) using $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] in settings.php before installing this module, that's the problem.
Just comment out that part in settings.php and use the module. It works fine here. Hope it helps.

Ah, that makes sense. Setting to fixed and changing the title so people searching around could find this if they're having troubles. Thanks a lot!

Actually, maybe having a note in README.txt would help.

I just had the same run in with this. I had about 4 strings replaced in the settings file and then installed the module.

All of the strings that I had set up in the settings file appeared in the string override ui. But, having $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] enabled in settings seemed to not let me add any more overrides in the string override ui.

I commented out the strings that I set up in $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] and now the module works just fine.
It's all good now.

This issue persists.
Maybe a maintainer could just put a note about this in the installation instructions on the project page?
It's a really confusing experience to have your changes just vanish on form submit.

Already in there :-) https://drupal.org/project/stringoverrides#troubleshooting

Do you think we should add this to a README.txt file or something like that? Or is just on the project page enough?
