CodeIgniter reusable message library - codeigniter

I'm using Message library (http://codeigniter.com/wiki/Message/) to display error messages on my site. This is the code that I'm using to display a message:
$this->message->set('error',$this->config->item('error.login'));
Right now I'm storing common messages in my config file (config/config.php) instead of writing the message every time. Is there a better way to do it? The config file is getting very long.
What I'm looking for is a better way to store re-usable text strings.

CodeIgniter's language class is what you're looking for:
CI Language Class
$this->message->set('error',$this->lang->line('error.login'));

A config file is more or less how you'd want to do it. It is simple, clear and light. But just because you are keeping it in a config file, that does not mean you need to keep it in config.php. The Config class allows you to have multiple config files, so have a special one for messages. Heck, you could even have several special ones for languages, and leave the one you are looking for in the config.php file!
$this->config->load( $this->config->get( "language_file_name" ) );

UI5 - Load proper i18n_xy.properties at onInit and later on manually

We have the requirement, that we shall host an SAPUI5 application inside a java-application's host, which our vendor offered to us by implementing and exposing jxbrowser.
This vendor's java application offers an api, which can be accessed from within our SAPUI5 application.
This java api offers also an environment (or config-settings), where, amongst a rich set of settings, also a user language can be obtained.
And this language is neither a sap-logon language param nor is it guaranteed to be always the language which is set up in the "jx-browser" ( if possible at all, like in all real browsers ), and it uses the standard i18n _xy_AB acronym's naming style.
And I want to load the proper i18n_xy.properties at onInit of my first view and set them in the code.
We do have currently 4 of them ( _de,_it,_fr ), and the fallback is also present.
I am a little idiot, because I found some quick n dirty code, but this was about one month ago and I simply forgot the link and all of that. So now I need to ask( and maybe even for a best practice solution to this...)
So, additionally, another (my personal) requirement is, that, once I retrieve the right i18n file, I want to set it, in a way, that, whenever later on, I would use
info = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle().getText("obfuscated");
I always obtain the right text in the right language.
What I think of, is: Load the proper file ( according to the environment settings from the api ) in onInit, set this i18n as the proper one for the rest of the application's runtime and use a easy name for it, which will then be referred to as, maybe this:
info = this.getView().getModel("i18n_loaded").getResourceBundle().getText("obfuscated");
Is this possible, is this the right way, and , if not, which one is, according to some kind of guidelines, the best practice for this scenario ?
You can pass the parameter in the url:
sap-ui-language=en
Or set the default language in your JavaScript code:
sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage("en-US");
I was not completely aware, that the determination of the used locale also works the other way around.
Meaning, if the ressource bundle contains e.g. 4 i18's,called i18_en, i18_it, i18_de, i18_fr, and the either the app is set up by
sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage("en-US");
or the url-param, this not only means, that:
All ui-elements will be translated propery, once the locale's acronym is properly spotted
ALSO this is automatically replaced by the proper spotted ressource file and the translated text is retrieved properly....
info = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle().getText("obfuscated");
I was aware of how this fallback determination of a locale works, but I was not aware that it works also the other way around.
I close my question and i do not care about any rewards.

Dynamic File Outbound Gateway based on header

I'd like to archive files that come in on a directory based on \name\date structure - so even every day the directory will change. Any suggestions appreciate.
I'm was on track to create a file outbound-gateway where the directory is dynamic, where the header is enriched with a method that generates the path of the directory.
I was thinking of something like this
<file:outbound-gateway id="archive" request-channel="input"
reply-channel="channel" directory="#Header[archiveLocation]}"
mode="REPLACE" delete-source-files="true">
</file:outbound-gateway>
But it doesn't seem to be the way to do it.
Based on previous related answers, I'm familiar with the samples at
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-integration-samples/blob/master/advanced/dynamic-ftp/src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/integration/dynamic-ftp-outbound-adapter-context.xml
My concern of doing it this way is, would there be any resource issues if I need to create tens, or hundreds of different outbound-gateway?
Since I can put the data in the header, is there an easier way to do it. Or is the directory field set at context initialization, and cannot be dynamic?
Thanks
After finally creating an account on Stack Overflow all these years to post a question, found the answer later. I can use directory-expression.
<file:outbound-gateway id="archive" request-channel="input"
reply-channel="channel" directory-expression="headers.archiveLocation"
mode="REPLACE" delete-source-files="true">
</file:outbound-gateway>

Custom Symfony2 Validator Constraint Messages

I want to use custom error messages for validation constraints on dozens of fields in my project.
I do not want to set the message on every one of these, because that would be a blatant violation of DRY. Repeating the same string in every declaration like: #NotNull(message="custom msg") would mean that if I decide to change the message in the future I'd have to hunt them all down replace them, but even worse I might use the wrong string on some of them and be inconsistent.
How do you deal with this?
Is the best option really to extend every symfony stock constraint and set my default there, and use my own custom annotation class?
Please note that using the translator is not an option for me, so I am looking for a solution that does not include the symfony translation component.
Thanks a lot for the help in advance.
Assuming you are working with English as the app's language, and you've configured translator: { fallback: en }, you can override these constraint messages universally. Start by creating this file: app/Resources/translations/validators.en.yml
And use the following translation format:
This value should not be blank.: Your custom message here
Whatever the standard message is.: Another custom message
This also works for any other language setting, assuming you've made a validators.lang.yml for it!
You can also place this file in your bundle directory under Resources/translations, and a few other places.

Examining Magento's final XML structure

Anyway to examine the final XML structure magento comes up with after parsing & combining all the different XML files?
There is nothing of that sort which turned up on searching on the internet and I think for someone like me, magento layouts were a bit too much in the beginning & I would try to do everything on the code side.
Another thing which will help in picking up the name of different nodes that we can use, right away from the final XML structure.
Never ran into this but I believe we will have a better picture of what's overriding what.
The following will get you the merged configuration from app/etc/*.xml, app/etc/modules/*.xml, as well as each (active) module's config.xml file; when retrieving the config though there is no indication of what was overwritten, as the merges happen as each config file is being parsed:
Mage::getConfig()->getNode()->asNiceXml(); // or asXML() | asArray() | etc.
However, you seem to be asking about how the application makes use of this information. This is a function of application design.
Also, you mention "all of the different XML files." It's worth noting that these are not maintained in one massive object instance. For example, layout XML is accessed using the layout update object Mage_Core_Model_Layout_Update and can be accessed meaningfully after it's been loaded and manipulated for a given rendering scope (e.g. loadLayout() in a controller action):
Mage::app()->getLayout()->getUpdate()->asString(); // or asSimplexml() or asArray()
Yes - Commercebug. As well as a whole load of other useful features, you can also view the entire XML structure that Magento has produced.
http://store.pulsestorm.net/products/commerce-bug-2
I believe the following will output the XML: echo Mage::getConfig()->getXmlString();
You can create a script with something like this:
header("Content-Type:text/xml");
require_once '../app/Mage.php';
Mage::app();
echo Mage::getConfig()->getXmlString();
based on answer from benmarks I did
echo "<pre>".htmlspecialchars(Mage::getConfig()->getNode()->asNiceXml())."</pre>";
If you want for example to see the blocks configuration in Magento 1 you can put this in a file, place the file at the root of the site and navigate to it in a browser:
<?php
include("app/Mage.php");
Mage::app();
//just see blocks...
echo "<pre>".htmlspecialchars(Mage::getConfig()->getNode()->global->blocks->asNiceXml())."</pre>";
die();

distinguish use cases in NSAutosaveElsewhereOperation

I try to add AutoSave support to the Core Data File Wrapper example
Now if i have a new/untitled document writeSafelyToURL is called with the NSAutosaveElsewhereOperation type.
The bad thing is, I get this type in both typical use cases
- new file: which store a complete new document by creating the file wrapper and the persistent store file
- save diff: where the file wrapper already exists and only an update is required.
Does somebody else already handled this topic or did somebody already migrated this?
The original sample use the originalStoreURL to distinguish those two use cases, which solution worked best for you?
Thanks
