Re: [Nuxeo-localizer] Question re: using manage_editLocalProperty

[Juan David Ibáñez Palomar]

Hi Michael,


The code you've sent has a DTML method for the form which is
also the action, right?

Well, this is not a good idea, usually you do the form in DTML
and the action of the form in Python, which modifies the objects
and does a redirect back to the form. Try this approach.


Regarding the Localizer API to be used..

* For LocalPropertyManager

 From unrestricted code you can use a lower level API, for
 example:

   ob._setLocalPropValue('title', 'en', 'hello world')

 The parameters are the id of the local property, the language
 being updated and the version for that language. Other related
 methods are '_setLocalProperty' and '_delLocalProperty'.

 From restricted code you've to use:

   ob.manage_editLocalProperty('title', {'en': 'hello world'})


* For the message catalog

 The method to be used is 'manage_editMessage', like this:

   manage_editMessage('hello world', 'es', 'hola mundo')

 The parameters are the message to be translated, the language
 of the translation and the translation itself. Other related
 methods are 'manage_delMessage'.


Looking for the solution to your problem I've seen that the API
needs to be improved.


Another thing, are you working from restricted or unrestricted
code?, that is, are you developing your application through the
web or are you building a Python product? You'll get a more
accurate answer if I've this information.




Cheers,
