Ok, If I convert to using XXX.xml instead of XXX.properties will be able to embed the HTML, or is the general rule that no properties are allowed to have HTML in them otherwise they get encoded on the way out to the screen?
Using /ofbiz/framework/common/config/CommonUiLabels.xml as my example to work from so what used to be XXX.properties keyName=some text to the screen XXX.xml - I am assuming that I have to have at least one xml:lang="en" as a value <resource xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";> <property key="keyName"> <value xml:lang="en">some text to the screen</value> </property> </resource> Jacques Le Roux wrote: > 1st thing : OFBiz trunk no longer uses .properties files but .xml files > 2d thing : we don't allow HTML in labels (actually there are still > some, but it should not at term apart some special cases like the > famous CommonEmpty) > > I think you will have to create a specific worker for that, ie no > longer render your strings as ${uiXXXLabelMap.CUSTOMER_ORDER_NUMBER} > but using something like > Static["org.ofbiz.....LabelWorker"].renderUiLabelMap("${uiXXXLabelMap.CUSTOMER_ORDER_NUMBER}") > where renderUiLabelMap returns a stringBuilder embedding the original > String > I can see any other means maybe there are and someone will suggest you > something easier. > > Jacques > > From: "Stephen Rufle" <[email protected]> >> In the ftl I use >> ${uiXXXLabelMap.CUSTOMER_ORDER_NUMBER} >> >> Does this process get passed through some class that I can change and >> send a patch for?
