the latest dicussion revealed a i18n problem with the cocoon-action.
Let's say we have a simple action-set
<action-set>
<action type="..." action="Add"/>
<action type="..." action="Delete"/>
</action-set>
This action-set can be used in HTML as follows
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Add">
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Delete">
Now here is the problem: the value attribute is the key for the action set
as well as the caption of the input button. Now think of a i18n site. The
HTML should look like for locale "de":
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Hinzufuegen">
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action" value="Loeschen">
But the action-set has still english keys. So you would need an action-set
per lanuage. This is IMHO really *BAD*!!!!!!!
So I propose to change this as follows:
locale en:
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add" value="Add">
locale de:
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add" value="Hinzufuegen">
...so there is no i18n dependency. AAAND while changing this I'd also like
to add a way to pass another parameter to the action:
<input type="submit" name="cocoon-action-Add/parametervalue" value="Add">
This would make an MultiAction very easy to implement! :) But I'm sure
there are other use-cases as well...
So I'd like to deprecate the old "cocoon-action" syntax (but still support
it) and like to introduce the new syntax.
[prefix][delimitter][actionkey]{[delimitter][paramtervalue]}
| | | | |
| | | | +-optional:
| | | | will be passed as action
| | | | parameter named (e.g.
| | | | [prefix]-paramter)
| | | |
| | | +------- introduce the parametervalue
| | | (e.g. '/')
| | |
| | +------------------- the key of action (the value
| | attribute of the current impl)
| |
| +------------------------------- (e.g. '-' or ':')
|
+----------------------------------------- prefix (e.g. again 'cocoon-action')
What do guys think?
