Merging html and fields into i18n

Postby Morley » Tue Oct 19, 2004 5:41 pm

Using HTML in i18n works well. But what about merging both HTML and field calls simultaneously.

I need to convert the following into i18n:
Code: Select all
var msg = '';
msg += '<html>Welcome <b><font color="red">' + user_name + '</font></b><br>';
msg += 'of <b><font color="red">' + gusercomid$to_com.company_name + '</font></b> ID ' + globals.gservoy_id;
plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog( 'Info',msg);
I've tried the following workaround which, on the face of it, is logical, but it's missing a critical factor -- it also doesn't work.
Code: Select all
var title = i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcome');
var msg = '';
msg += '<html>' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg1') + '<b><font color="red">' + user_name + '</font></b><br>';
msg += ' ' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg2') + ' <b><font color="red">' + gusercomid$to_com.company_name;
msg += '</font></b> ' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg3') + ' ' + globals.gservoy_id
plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog(title, msg);
Is there a way someone has worked out?

Hi Morley,

I do this all the time. What doesn't work in your code? You're on the right track.

The first attempt renders the first word properly, thereafter forgets that it's interpreting html. In the following I added <html> before each piece of html code.
Code: Select all
var title = i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcome');
var msg = '';
msg += '<html>' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg1') + '<html><b><font color="red">' + user_name + '<html></font></b><br>';
msg += ' ' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg2') + '<html><b><font color="red"> ' + gusercomid$to_com.company_name;
msg += '<html></font></b> ' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg3') + ' ' + globals.gservoy_id
plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog(title, msg);
Better, but I'm missing something. There's a line break at each section, rather than a continuous line of text.

Morley,

Take out the var msg = '' - you don't need it.

I can't duplicate your results. If I do this code:

Code: Select all
var x = "<html><b>" + i18n.getI18NMessage("s.solution_title") + "</b>"
x += " _ " + i18n.getI18NMessage("s.tt_admin")

plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog( "title", x, "ok")


Everything is just as expected (one line).

Bob, the difference between your code and mine is I'm switching into and out of bold and red, back and forth. Here's my code, then what I'm after done without i18n, followed by what this code renders. I have my doubts if Servoy can currently do what I'm attempting.
Code: Select all
var title = i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcome');
var msg = '<html>' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg1') + '<b><font color="red">' + user_name + '</font></b><br> ';
msg += + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg2') + '<b><font color="red"> ' + gusercomid$to_com.company_name;
msg += '</font></b> ' + i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg3') + ' ' + globals.gservoy_id
plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog(title, msg);

Why don't you do this:

the key '7office.dlg.welcomemsg' looks like:
Code: Select all
<html>Welcome <b><font color="red">{0}</font></b><br> of <b><font color="red">{1}</font></b> ID {2}</html>


the method looks like:
Code: Select all
var msg = i18n.getI18NMessage('7office.dlg.welcomemsg', new Array(user_name, gusercomid$to_com.company_name, globals.gservoy_id));
plugins.dialogs.showInfoDialog(title, msg);

Marcel - excellent!

I totally forgot about replacing the placeholders with array values!
