Hi all,
i have a problem with languageIndependent fields.
My ContentType "staffmember" has a
the value of languageIdependent fields is not changed after the
canonical field is changed.
I have a ContentType called StaffMember and for example an
StringField 'email'
atapi.StringField(
name='email',
required=False,
searchable=False,
languageIndependent=True,
validators = ('isEmail',),
storage=atapi.AnnotationStorage(),
widget=atapi.StringWidget(
label=_(u"Email"),
label_msgid='staffmember_label_email',
description=_(u""),
description_msgid='staffmember_help_email',
),
),
Since email doesn't change when translating (compared to jobTitle
or such) it's marked as langageIndependent.
When I translate that person, the 'email'-value of the canonical
version is kept - so far so good.
But when I change the value in the canoical version after
translating (imagine this persons email changed because he changed
his department) the original value is kept in the translated
version - with no chance for me to override or sync it again.
As far as i see this only happens to text- and stringfields, files
and images are not affected.
Am i missing something or is it a bug?
I use:
Plone 3.2.1
Zope (Zope 2.10.6-final, python 2.4.4, darwin)
Python 2.4.4
LinguaPlone 2.4
Archetypes 1.5.10-dev
ATVocabularyManager 1.5-alpha

Philip

Hi Philip,
we had a very similar problem. Could it be that the value _does_ get
written to the translation when you edit the canonical, but that you
just don't see it, because the translation didn't get reindexed?
Hello Wolfgang,
could that have been fixed in http://dev.plone.org/plone/changeset/
22566 ?
In other words, if you edit the canonical and change the email, then
edit the translation (to trigger the reindexing), do you then see
the updated value?
Good idea, but sadly not. LinguaPlone shows different values when I
use Boolean-, Line- and StringFields.
For this usecase we introduced a checkbox-Field
"reindexTranslations" to several of the content types we use. The
person editing a canonical object can tick this box to indicate that
reindexing should be done. An event-handler for
zope.lifecycleevent.interfaces.IObjectModifiedEvent then checks if
the property is set, and if so, it reindexes all translations and
unsets the property again.
Of course you could just reindex all translations of an object
automatically every time you save, but that will introduce some
extra waiting time for the editor...
That would still be better than more UI or differing values. But
reindexing the catalogue has no effect.
Or is your problem different, i.e. the value does not get propagated
to translations at all?
I guess that's the problem.
Philip
Cheers,
Wolfgang
