[opencms-dev] Locale macro in XSD schema

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi again,

Forgot to say so but yes, our category widget does work just the way I assume you would like it to. When editing a page in a specific language, categories in the widget drop-down are also displayed in that language.

I'd recommend testing this approach and see if it will work for you. It's way more simple than writing a custom widget.

Best regards,
Paul

Hi again Arturo,

I'll stick with the example I provided - a list of news articles with category filters.

In the news article's XSD, the category element has this configuration:
<layout element="Category" widget="CategoryWidget" configuration="onlyleafs=true|property=category" />

By setting a value for the "category" property on a VFS resource (typically a parent folder of the appropriate content - in the example case this would be the "news" folder), you can control what categories are available in the category widget when editing news articles.

In the example, the property value would be "theme/" (without quotes).

The value "theme/" is a reference to the (category) folder /sites/default/__LOCALE__/_categories/theme/, which is the parent category of all the categories visible as category filters in the news list. By setting this value, the category widget for news articles will contain only these categories. Other categories will not be available.

You can of course also omit setting any value on the "category" property. In that case, all categories that are available for the path of the resource you're editing will also be available in the category widget.

Hope I was able to explain this, please let me know if anything is still unclear. :)

Cheers,
Paul

Hi, Paul:

Are you able to offer (with your categories taxonomy) a CategoryWidget dialog using this kind of configuration?

<layout element="CategoryExample" widget="CategoryWidget"
configuration="category=/__LOCALE__/_categories/Example/"/>

Obviously, __LOCALE__ (and with this, the category under the user would search) must change when the user tries to edit the content using another locale.

I believe the problem would be the same, both using /__LOCALE__/_categories/ or /_categories/__LOCALE__ as configuration value.

Regards.
