[opencms-dev] multilingual-menus in opencms 13 corrected

Mon Aug 22 12:46:26 CEST 2022

Corrected reaction

Filip,

Thank you for your answer. 

This is how I understand it now: 

The localization for the default English workplace locale is included in opencms.war. 

The localizations for 8 supported foreign languages like "de" were before opencms 11 included in optional modules that were all loaded in a default install. 

The properties were in (sub)folders like /system/workplace/locales/de/messages/org/opencms/.. 

in files like messages-de.properties or clientmessages-de.properties

That is the situation described now in 

*	 https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/localization/multilingual-menus/  (Valid for OpenCms: 13.0) 
*	In a default installation, the folders shown in Figure  <https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/localization/multilingual-menus/#fig_available_workplace_locales> [available_workplace_locales] are present.

So by default all 8 supported foreign language localizations were activated. 

To deactivate a supported foreign language localization you should remove the corresponding module

Since opencms 11 The localizations for 8 supported foreign languages are placed in jar files like org.opencms.locale.de.jar in the lib folder. These 8 jarfiles are all loaded in a new install. 

The properties are in (sub)folders like /org/opencms/..

in files like messages-de.properties or clientmessages-de.properties

By default the /system/workplace/locales/ folder and its subfolders are not made. And are not needed anymore.

So by default all of the 8 supported foreign languages are activated. 

To deactivate a supported foreign language localization you should delete the corresponding jar-file. 

Finally

The advice 

To put the message bundles you may add in your locale usable, you have to export your locale folder, say pt for Portugese, to {webapp home}/WEB-INF/classes. Therefore, put your localization in a module and set the export point via the module configuration.  <https://opencms.cse.unsw.edu.au/alkacon-documentation/howto_workplace_translation/step1-workplace-translation.html> Here's an old (but still mostly valid) tutorial on how to add the localizations (the wizard mentioned there is not available anymore).

Seems far outdated (from opencms 7) : If Opencms does not place localizations for supported foreign languages in modules any more and surely not in that way, so why should creators for a non-supported language localization do it like that ?

And the link is not working anymore. 

It can still be found on http://www.incmnsz.mx/opencms/alkacon-documentation/howto_workplace_translation/

So please correct the documentation.  

Regards,

Hein van der Kallen

Hello Hein,

localization files are now part of the corresponding libs inside WEB-INF/lib/ (libs contain java properties files). You can use it as a source for some modification.

If you want to develop new localization more seriously, check this script:

https://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/blob/master/copy-messages.sh

It can collect all "en" files from git repo as a source for translation and copy files between RFS and VFS (using mounted OpenCms). Anyway, it's been some time since I used this tool, so I don't remember all the functions...

Regards

Filip Kratochvil

Hi

According to 

 <https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/localization/multilingual-menus/> https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/localization/multilingual-menus/  (Valid for OpenCms: 13.0) 

In a default installation, the folders shown in Figure  <https://documentation.opencms.org/opencms-documentation/localization/multilingual-menus/#fig_available_workplace_locales> [available_workplace_locales] are present.

But in a fresh opencms 13 (default without legacy tools) the workplace folder only contains 

*	commons
*	editors
*	resources

Folders. (and NO locales folder) 

Also the system folder contains other subfolders.

Please explain what happened to  multilingual-menus. 

And bring implementation and documentation in sync. 

Regards,

Hein van der Kallen

Onderwerp: Re: [opencms-dev] Search index configuration

Hi Fabian!

- How can I import users and groups that have been exported from e.g. 10.5? In other terms, as the password mechanics seem to have changed, how can I migrate local users and groups to a fresh install of OpenCms 13?

Check the configuration file „opencms-system.xml“. Somewhere aound line 35 is the <passwordhandler> configuration.

Change this back to:

                              <passwordhandler class="org.opencms.security.CmsDefaultPasswordHandler">
                                            <encoding>UTF-8</encoding>
                                            <digest-type>MD5</digest-type>
                                            <param name="compatibility.convert.digestencoding">false</param>
                              </passwordhandler>

Then the old MD5 encoded password should still work. 

- Can I no longer add/modify search indexes and sources through the GUI?

Yes, this is the case.

Kind regards,
Alex.

Hi,

I had finally the chance to fiddle with OpenCms 13. And two things struck me right away:

- How can I import users and groups that have been exported from e.g. 10.5? In other terms, as the password mechanics seem to have changed, how can I migrate local users and groups to a fresh install of OpenCms 13?

- Can I no longer add/modify search indexes and sources through the GUI?

Many thanks,

\Fabian
