Vasko Gjurovski commented on MAGNOLIA-2124: ------------------------------------------- Ok, it looks like there is a need to separate the nodes that can be localized and those that don't. So why don't do it? Just separate the nodes in to two types (config nodes and content nodes, or any other terminology that suites better)? I haven't looked at the code but I believe that it is not more than just a method isNodeContentNode() that can be configurable in the admin central (like the node type and name are configured). It would be by default false. This way we can make difference between the conifg nodes (those that do not need to be localized) and content nodes (those that can be localized). > 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: 3.6.1 > > 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/ ----------------------------------------------------------------
