Stojan Peshov commented on MAGNOLIA-2124: ----------------------------------------- Hmm, you are absolutely right. As long as activation isn't i18n aware, my point is worthless. I haven't seen the activation workflow in details, but i assume that it can be easily adjusted to activate only the current language. That is, of 'course only the solution for those using the workflow module. For all the rest, simple exchange can be modified. I've been thinking lately about other workaround. A simple (i18nIgnore) property added in the dialog in config could give us the ability to exclude some of the fields from i18n saving mechanism. There should be minor modifications in Save class for this functionality. > I18nContentSupport for dialogs > ------------------------------ > > Key: MAGNOLIA-2124 > URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-2124 > Project: Magnolia > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: gui > Affects Versions: 3.6 > Environment: Irrelevant > Reporter: Stojan Peshov > Assignee: Boris Kraft > Fix For: 3.6 > > Attachments: i18supportForDialogs.patch > > > In MAGNOLIA-1431 it is stated that we should make copies of dialog controls > (or even locale tabs) with locale extensions if we want to have i18n aware > dialog. > This solution leads as to many copies (tabs) if we want to cover many > languages. > Therefore, we've modified the initialization of dialogs in order to have one > dialog for all languages. > The solution works like this: > When a page is displayed i18nContentSupportFilter sets the current locale and > when a dialog is opened all the control's names are suffixed with the locale > (if the locale is different than the fallback locale) > ex. a dialog with edit control named "text" will become "text_[locale]". > The rest of the job remains to the Save handler which creates the localized > content (nodeDatas). > If you edit the dialog then the content of the current language is filled in > the controls. > This way we have only one dialog and unlimited number of languages, without > the need of creating additional tabs (or controls). > Note: This way there is no possibility to edit more than one language at > once. > For this functionality we modified the following: > - DialogControlImpl.initializeConfig > - I18nContentSupportFilter > - DefaultI18nContentSupport > - I18nContentSupport > All of the classes have minor changes, that don't affect other > functionalities. > We attached the patch and hope that you'll like it. :) > p.s. we also have created a language chooser (changer) tag that successfully > implements the suggested solution -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.magnolia.info/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://documentation.magnolia.info/ ----------------------------------------------------------------
