I have a lot of repeating texts inside of my SAPUI5-App. Hence I have the same value with different keys in i18n.
I don't want to merge them into one key because of readability.
one example:
PROFILE_CHAPTER_A=Details
GREET_MESSAGE=Greetings
[...]
WIZARDSTEP_A=Something
WIZARDSTEP_B=Different
WIZARDSTEP_C=In
WIZARDSTEP_D=These
WIZARDSTEP_E=Ones
WIZARDSTEP_F=Details
[...]
#I wish for something like this
GREETING_FORUM={GREET_MESSAGE} {0}, Hello in our Forum!
GREETING_ WEBSOP={GREET_MESSAGE} {0}, Welcome to our Webshop!
You see that PROFILE_CHAPTER_A and WIZARDSTEP_F have the sam value.
In this case I don't want to reference to only one of them because if I'm inside of the view I want a clear naming of the i18n. But if I mean the exact same thing I want to change it only once and not in 5 different keys.
An example of what I imagine should be possible. Maybe I just want to change the "Greetings" to "What's up" or something else and then I just want to reference the first word and have it used by everything else.
Is this i18n-nesting possible in (SAP)UI5? And if not, can it be added?
We use the namespace concept for i18n files:
# Global used
core.detail = Detail
core.button.ok = Ok
# Assuming there is a view with namespace: my.great.app.detail
detail.title = title
# Assuming there are dialog in my.great.app.detail
detail.dialog.confirm.title = Done, saving?
detail.dialog.delete.message = Really?
# another (sub) view: my.great.app.detail.specialParts
detail.specialParts.title = very special
Works also flawless for multi component apps, if you prefix component name.

I would like to write a generator plugin to add some post-like items to my blog. The items are supposed to appear in the blog index, but they have no page associated to them (you can't click on them).
I know I need something like
class QuoteGenerator < Generator
safe true
def generate(site)
# add a single post
site.posts << QuotePost.new(site, site.source, "Blub")
end
end
But what I don't understand is how to implement my Post subclass. I've found that other plugins (like this one to embed Flickr photos) write the data they want to a markdown+YAML file, and then reference this file:
class QuotePost < Post
def initialize(site, base, title)
# Nooo, I don't want to create a .md file for this
name = "2016-05-13-test.md"
dir = ""
# (write out .md file here)
super(site, base, dir, name)
end
end
But then, I would hardly need a Plugin in the first place. I could just generate the markdown files myself (with an external script).
What I'd like to do is to just set a couple of variables in my Post subclass, and have them available in the template for the blog index. How can I do that?
The case you've described looks to be unrelated to Post, since usual posts are file-based. Collections may be suitable, but again - that's not clear how you getting the content.
I'd suggest two major options:
Use _data/ to set an object list, where each item has the required properties if you can define them via a static JSON/CSV/etc file (or generate it once, to separate external data producer and jekyll visualization).
Use :pre_render hook and a plugin if you have to define the data via code -
your hook will also receive a payload hash as a second parameter which allows you full control over the variables that are available while rendering
Having your data in site.data variable allows you to iterate through items, render something or include a template and so on. Also there are plugins which generate new pages based on site's data.
The right answer depends on how you're getting the content, which markup you need and how those items will be used.
I have an object with a variable containing a String.
I have a window containing a LabelMorph/TextMorph (or some other Morph that displays Text?).
How do i bind the LabelMorph/TextMorph to the variable, so that the label updates when the String in the variable changes?
classic Smalltalk-80 dependent/change/update mechanism?
Pharo Announcement framework?
something different??
How would i do this? Which Morph should i use?
Simplest is to use an updating String morph:
UpdatingStringMorph on: self selector: #myLabel
This will send #myLabel (or any other message) to self (or any other object) and display it.
This is a solution provided by Benjamin Van Ryseghem on the Pharo Mailinglist:
For this kind of situation, my solution is to use a ValueHolder.
Instead of storing your string directly in an instance variable, store
it into the ValueHolder.
I tried this in a Workspace:
|string label|
string := 'Wait till i change..' asValueHolder.
label := LabelMorph contents: string contents.
string whenChangedDo: [:newValue | label contents: newValue ].
label openInWindow.
[ 5 seconds asDelay wait. string value: 'I changed :)' ] fork.
Depends on what you want to achieve.
You might want to take a look at a way to do it with Glamour in a current Moose image.
In a workspace, do-it:
GLMBasicExamples new magritte openOn: GLMMagrittePersonExample sampleData
That shows how to work with announcements on save. The earlier examples are a better way to start understanding how to work with Glamour (and because of the way the examplebrowser is build, the Magritte example doesn't update the list when it is nested):
GLMBasicExamples open
That has several other examples that update on change.
I know this doesn't exactly match the form of www.example.com/class/function/ID/, but what I want to display to the user would make more sense.
This is what I would like to do:
www.example.com/project/id/item/item_id/
So, an example would be:
www.example.com/project/5/item/198237/
And this would be the behavior:
www.example.com/project/ --> This would show a list of projects (current implementation)
www.example.com/project/5/ --> This would show a list of items on project 5 (current implementation)
www.example.com/project/5/item/ --> This wouldn't really mean anything different than the line above. (Is that bad?)
www.example.com/project/5/item/198237/ --> This would show details for item 198237.
So, each item is directly associated with one and only one project.
The only way I can think how to do this is to bloat the "project" controller and parse the various parameters and control ALL views from that "project" controller. I'd prefer not to do this, because the model and view for an "item" are truly separate from the model and view of a "project."
The only other solution (that I am currently implementing and don't prefer) is to have the following:
www.example.com/project/5/
www.example.com/item/198237/
Is there any way to build a hierarchical URL as I showed at the beginning without bloating the "project" controller?
There are 3 options, sorted by how practical they can be:
Use URI Routing. Define a regular expression that will use a specific controller/method combination for each URL.
Something like that could help you, in routes.php:
$route['project/'] = 'project/viewall';
$route['project/(.+)'] = 'project/view/$1';
$route['project/(.+)/item/'] = 'project/view/$1';
$route['project/(.+)/item/(.+)'] = 'item/view/$2';
That is, considering your controllers are item and project respectively. Also note that $n in the value corresponds to the part matched in the n-th parenthesis.
Use the same controller with (or without) redirection. I guess you already considered this.
Use redirection at a lower level, such as ModRewrite on Apache servers. You could come up with a rule similar to the one in routes.php. If you are already using such a method, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use that, but only if you are already using such a thing, and preferably, in the case of Apache, in the server configuration rather than an .htaccess file.
You can control all of these options using routes.php (found in the config folder). You can alternatively catch any of your URI segments using the URI class, as in $this->uri->segment(2). That is if you have the URL helper loaded. That you can load by default in the autoload.php file (also in the config folder).
I'm fairly new to Joomla (I've been more of a Wordpress guy) and I have a question about module positions.
Can a module know what position it's in. For instance can I do something like this:
if(modulePosition =='left'){
Do this...
}else{
Do that...
}
It seems easy enough, but I've searched for hours and can't find anything that will help me with that. I know there is a countModules function but from what I can tell, that just checks to see if the module is active or not.
Thanks for your help!
I found the answer! Mostly thanks to #Hanny. His idea of using the modules id got me googling for that and I came across the answer. For anyone else that happens to be looking to do something similar here it is.
You use a global variable $module (who'd a thought, right?)
So my code now looks like this:
$class = '';
if($module->position == 'position1'){
$class = 'class1';
}
and so on...
Pretty simple, huh?
To find out what else you can do with the global variable $module just put this in your code and see what info you can use:
echo(print_r($module));
Thanks for all your help!
The short answer is 'yes', you'll assign a module a position based on your template. When it shows up you can have conditionals like that regarding that position (different templates have different naming conventions for positions, so make sure you know what they are before coding).
For example, some use "Position12", others may use "leftcol", etc. You just have to check in the template files to see (you can check the .xml file in the template directory to see the positions listed in the template, or look in the index.php file for the jdoc includes).
In some of my experience, the only time you'll really ever need code like that is in the core layout files of the template (for example, if you have different widths of columns depending on modules being present or not), otherwise there won't really be a time where you 'may or may not' have a module showing up - because you'll explicitly be telling them where to be and when on the back end.
I tried to comment under john's solution but I don't have a enough rep points-- I wanted to add it doesn't matter what you name the module position in your template case-wise the position name you get back from $module->position is always all lowercase regardless of how you named the position in the template... ie. in your template xml somewhere you might have topBar position will be named 'topbar' not 'topBar' when you try to check it with
if($module->position == 'topBar') //always false... use instead
if($module->position == 'topbar') //what you need to use
I'm going to disagree with Hanny. I think the answer is no, not as you describe.
The template knows when it has reached a module position, and it gets a list of modules assigned to that position, then calls for them to be rendered. But it doesn't pass that information on. It's not stored in JApplication or JDocument etc either (like, nothing stores where in the template the rendering is up to or anything).
There are some hacky ways to almost get what you want though. If you know the template positions you need to search (sadly there's no easy method for getting this from the template - otherwise you could parse your template's .XML file for <position> elements...), then you could do something like:
<?php
$positions = array('left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom')
$found_in = false;
foreach ($positions as $cur_position)
{
$module_positions = JModuleHelper::getModules($cur_position);
foreach ($module_positions as $cur_module_in_pos)
{
if ($cur_module_in_pos->module == 'mod_MYMODULE')
{
$found_in = $cur_position;
}
}
}
if ($found_in)
...
Of course, this doesn't work well if your module is included multiple times on the page, but maybe that's an assumption you can make?
Otherwise it'd be up to hacking the core - you could use a JDispatcher::trigger() call before the template calls a module, set some var etc. Unfortunately there's no such event in core to start (a pre_module_render or something).
A module instance is assigned to a single position and this is stored in the database and normally you would style the position in the template. A module instance can only be assigned to one position. So while it's an interesting question, it's not really a practical one.
The exceptions to this are the following:
loadposition ... you might want to know if a module is being loaded using the plugin because this would put it potentially somewhere besides the styled area for the position. THough i would recommend always making a new instance for this precisely so you have more control.
loadmodule ... module loaded by name using the plugin. In this case again you are probably better off making a new instance of the module and styling it. Also I'd put it in a span or div anyway, depending what it is.
jdocinclude:module ... loading a module directly in a template. Again if you are doing this I would wrap it in a span or div. In this case you are also allowed to include a string of inline styles if you like that kind of thing.
Rendering the module to a string and echoing it, again that is basically a very customized solution and you would want to set the styles and options.
How do I tell the Zend_Form that I want an element (and it's ID-label, etc) to use another ID value instead of the element's name?
I have several forms in a page. Some of them have repeated names. So as Zend_Form creates elements' IDs using names I end up with multiple elements with the same ID, which makes my (X)HTML document invalid.
What is the best solution to fix this, given that I really have to stick with using the same element names (they are a hash common to all forms and using the Zend_Form Hash Element is really out of question)?
Zend_Form_Element has a method called setAttribs that takes an array. You may be able to do something like $element->setAttribs(array('id' => "some_id"));
or you can do $element->setAttrib('id', 'some_id');
Thanks, Chris Gutierrez.
However, as I said, I needed to get ride of the default decorator generated IDs like -label. Wiht the $element->setAttribs() it is not possible, however.
So based on http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-7125 I just did the following:
$element->clearDecorators();
$element->setAttrib('id', 'some_id');
$element->addDecorator("ViewHelper");
Whoever sees this: please note this was enough for what I needed. But may not be for you (the default settings has more than the viewHelper decorator).
