and so doing it is not necessary to change the screens XML
files to insert
the <set> tag.
If there are no objections it could still be "the way
to go"

Doing so would require a change to the Freemarker
code. It would be worth
looking into.

Keep it simple:
<set
field="ProductOnlyShowingFirstN"
value="${uiLabelMap.ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}"/>
and
${ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}

Adrian,
yes I did read your solution and now I
have also tested and solved the
problem.
Thank you.
BTW, since this is something that will
happen more than once (above
all if
we replace some splitted english-ordered
sentences with a whole label)
I ask
for a best practice to do it.
I propose the one that I have implemented
right now as following:
In order to display the following UILabel:
<property
key="ProductOnlyShowingFirstN">
<value
xml:lang="en">NOTE: Only showing the first
${viewSize} of
${listSize} products. To view the rest,
use the Products tab for this
category.</value>
<value
xml:lang="it">NOTA: Sono elencati solo
${viewSize} di
${listSize}
prodotti. Per visualizzare gli altri, usa
il pannello Prodotti di questa
categoria.</value>
</property>
I have used the following line in the
actions tag:
<set
field="uiLabelMap_ProductOnlyShowingFirstN"
value="${uiLabelMap.ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}"/>
and the following line in the .FTL file
${uiLabelMap_ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}
So the guideline could be that the field
used has the same name has the
UiLabel except the "." replaced
by the "_"
Does this make sense?
Thank you,
Bruno
P.S.
To implement this it has been necessary to
change the screen xml file
and
the ftl file.
I also tried to use the #assign tag in
order to have this local to the
.FTL
file with the following lines:
<#assign
uiLabelMap_ProductOnlyShowingFirstN =
uiLabelMap.ProductOnlyShowingFirstN>
<div>${uiLabelMap_ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}.</div>
but this does not work :-(
There are no way to make this work?

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Ok sorry now it makes sense.
my languages are limited but like in
spanish the sentence structure is
different than english so the
placement of the variables would be
different.
so the approach have the $() in the
uilabels files is what you are
suggesting.

So the only solution is to split
the strings and have the ${} into the
ftl ?
It is not the case to think to
implement an iterative strings
rendering
until no more ${} are found?
(this is why I used dev ml)
This would also solve the issue
that splitting the sentence in several
labels it is necessary to stick to
english words order that
generally is
different from other languages.
Thank you

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
probably should be in user ml
use
uiLabelMap.yourstringid
then move the text to
config/name of
fileUiLabels.xml
take a look at
CatalogCommonScreens.xml for where you may find the
UiLabels.xml files like
<property-map
resource="ProductUiLabels"
map-name="uiLabelMap"
global="true"/>
<property-map
resource="CommonUiLabels"
map-name="uiLabelMap"
global="true"/>
note you will have to break it
up so the $() stay in the ftl, i
believe.

Thank you very much for
your suggestions, I have been able to answer
you
only now...
The issue, i think, is not
related to the availability of the
information
in
the context, the two
variables are already defined in the context.
The
problem I have is that the
UI label rendering should do a "double
rendering"
and it seems not to do so.
I try to better explain
(sorry for the message length).
I am working on the file
\applications\product\webapp\catalog\find\miniproductlist.ftl.
At
lines
46-50 of this file there
is the following:
<#if
(listSize > viewSize)>
<div>
<div>NOTE: Only showing the first ${viewSize} of
${listSize} products. To
view the rest, use the Products tab for
this
category.</div>
</div>
</#if>
The viewSize and listSize
variables are correctly rendered since
they
are
correctly defined in the context
by the miniproductlist.groovy
script.
The problem is that this
string is english only and I would like to
transform in a standard
UiLabel, so I added the following in the
ProductUiLabels.xml file:
<property
key="ProductOnlyShowingFirstN">
<value
xml:lang="en">NOTE: Only showing the first
${viewSize}
of
${listSize} products. To view the
rest, use the Products tab for this
category.</value>
<value
xml:lang="it">NOTA: Sono elencati solo
${viewSize} di
${listSize} prodotti. Per
visualizzare gli altri, usa il pannello
Prodotti
di questa
categoria.</value>
</property>
and replaced the above
lines in the miniproductlist.ftl file with
the
following:
<#if
(listSize > viewSize)>
<div>
<div>${uiLabelMap.ProductOnlyShowingFirstN}</div>
</div>
</#if>
well, in this case what I
get on the screen is the following:
NOTE: Only showing the
first ${viewSize} of ${listSize} products. To
view
the rest, use the Products tab for
this category.
where you can see that the
variables are not rendered even if they
are
defined in the context.
In my opinion a cyclic
rendering should be done on the string
until no
more
${} are found because all
have been rendered.
I think that this is the
reason why in many cases labels are divided
into
several labels (sometimes of one
word only) that are then included in
ftl
files to form the whole sentence.
Doing this can be a workaround for
the
variables rendering (because the
variables are not included in the
UiLabels
string but in the ftl
directly) but we already discussed in the ML
that
this
should be avoided because
it imposes the english words order that is
often
different for other
languages.
Many thanks,

Hello Bruno,
Unfortunately I
see that the parameters ${viewSize} and
${listSize}
are
not
rendered as
expected but the whole string is displayed as it
appears
in
the
UiLabel.xml file.
${viewSize} and
${listSize} means that we should put this values in
the
screen context first then this
will be available in the UiLabel.xml
file.Suppose you are
preparing context in the *Screens.xml then you
should
write down something like
this :-
<set
field="viewSize" value="2"/>
<set
field="listSize" value="2"/>
Or if you would like
to put this values in the *.bsh file that is
included
in your *Screens.xml file
then you should write down the following
code.
context.put("viewSize","2");
context.put("listSize","2");
If you are keeping
your values in the parameters then you should
read
the
values from the parameters
map inside your UiLabel.xml file.
In this case you will
read by ${parameters.viewSize} &
${parameters.listSize}
For example :-
<set
field="parameters.viewSize"
value="2"/>
<set
field="parameters.listSize"
value="2"/>
& while putting
the values in *.bsh
parameters.put("viewSize","2");
parameters.put("listSize","2");
You should notice that
in the screen definition all the Decorator
comes
after setting this context values
and decorator includes(set) the
values
from Property Files.So all the
values kept in the context(either in
parameters or context
map) will be available in those *UiLabel.xml
files.
And for the localization
thing I agree from the Scott's comment.
So I think I am safe
on that point :-)
Please let us know if
you still have some more question.

Hi,
I am trying to
add the following UiLabel that includes some
parameters
<property
key="ProductOnlyShowingFirstN">
<value xml:lang="en">NOTE: Only showing the
first
${viewSize}
of
${listSize} products. To
view the rest, use the Products tab for
this

<value xml:lang="it">NOTA: Sono elencati

prodotti. Per visualizzare gli altri, usa il pannello
Prodotti

</property>
I would like
to use it in miniproductlist.ftl to replace an
english
constant
text.
Unfortunately
I see that the parameters ${viewSize} and
${listSize}
are
not
rendered as
expected but the whole string is displayed as it
appears
in
the
UiLabel.xml
file.
What is the
correct way to display parametrized labels?
Many thanks,
Bruno
