Not a problem. Here's a tip to alter things without editing the jars themselves:
Within the WEB-INF of both magnoliaAuthor and magnoliaPublic, you can create a folder called 'classes' to put custom classes and resources. Anything here is available to the webapp using the standard classloader mechanism that also loads the classes and resources from .jar files. In the event of a naming conflict where a resource in the 'classes' folder is named identically to one in a jar, the classes directory version takes presidence. My suggestion of creating the folder structure classes/info/magnolia/module/admintemplates in WEB-INF and adding message_templating_custom_en.properties to it effectively overrides the equivalent file packaged in the magnolia-2.1-RC2.jar file. This can be done with anything in any of the jars. --David Robert Van Overmeiren wrote: >I'm not a schooled Java developer, but do understand that the class >loader builds the things in the 'work' directory from the classes in the >JAR files when the engine is started. > >My IDE lets me mount the JAR file and add key/value pairs, but the JAR >is 'Read-Only'. > >I can't save the changes. > >I chmod'ed the JAR 777, but still can't save. > >Guess its time for servlet school. > >-----Original Message----- >From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 10:12 AM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] Can you still use a literal string for a >label or description? > >They are actually stored in magnolia-2.1-RC2.jar > >You can create this file path in the WEB-INF folder of magnoliaAuthor >and magnoliaPublic to make custom resources: >classes/info/magnolia/module/admintemplate/messages_templating_custom_en >.properties > >Restart the web app to make them appear. > >--David > >Robert Van Overmeiren wrote: > > > >>You mean the files in >>'/work/Catalina/localhost/magnoliaAuthor/loader/info/magnolia/module/ad >>m >>ininterface'? >> >> >> >>From this I gather that the labels & descriptions are now dynamic in > > >>support of the new internationalization functionality. >> >>If I'm creating my own labels & descriptions, do I need to add them to >>the 'messages_en.properties' text file so the CMS can pull them in? >> >>I suppose they would all need corresponding translations in all the >>other properties files to maintain the support for the 14 languages? >> >>-----Original Message----- >>From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 9:05 AM >>To: [email protected] >>Subject: Re: [magnolia-user] Can you still use a literal string for a >>label or description? >> >>Ooops.
