Thank you very much for your suggestions, I have been able to answer you
only now...
The issue, i think, is not related to the availability of the information in
the context, the two variables are already defined in the context. The
problem I have is that the UI label rendering should do a "double rendering"
and it seems not to do so.
I try to better explain (sorry for the message length).
I am working on the file
\applications\product\webapp\catalog\find\miniproductlist.ftl. At lines
46-50 of this file there is the following:
<#if (listSize > viewSize)>
<div>
<div>NOTE: Only showing the first ${viewSize} of
${listSize} products. To view the rest, use the Products tab for this
category.</div>
</div>
</#if>
The viewSize and listSize variables are correctly rendered since they are
correctly defined in the context by the miniproductlist.groovy script.
The problem is that this string is english only and I would like to
transform in a standard UiLabel, so I added the following in the
ProductUiLabels.xml file:
<property key="ProductOnlyShowingFirstN">
<value xml:lang="en">NOTE: Only showing the first ${viewSize} of
${listSize} products. To view the rest, use the Products tab for this
category.</value>
<value xml:lang="it">NOTA: Sono elencati solo ${viewSize} di
${listSize} prodotti. Per visualizzare gli altri, usa il pannello Prodotti
di questa categoria.</value>
</property>
and replaced the above lines in the miniproductlist.ftl file with the
following:
<#if (listSize > viewSize)>
<div>
<div>${uiLabelMap.ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}</div>
</div>
</#if>
well, in this case what I get on the screen is the following:
NOTE: Only showing the first ${viewSize} of ${listSize} products. To view
the rest, use the Products tab for this category.
where you can see that the variables are not rendered even if they are
defined in the context.
In my opinion a cyclic rendering should be done on the string until no more
${} are found because all have been rendered.
I think that this is the reason why in many cases labels are divided into
several labels (sometimes of one word only) that are then included in ftl
files to form the whole sentence. Doing this can be a workaround for the
variables rendering (because the variables are not included in the UiLabels
string but in the ftl directly) but we already discussed in the ML that this
should be avoided because it imposes the english words order that is often
different for other languages.
Many thanks,
