i18n menu macro

Reply Threaded

Hi, is it be possible to internationalize the menu.xml file to get i18n
navigation, so that instead of having:

<menu label="Home" path=...

I would have something like this:

<menu label="$messages.Home" path=...

Hi,

Its not supported directly, but you could make it work in a custom
Menu by using the label from menu.xml as the key:

public class I18nMenu extends Menu {

public String getLabel() {
if (label == null) {
return null;
}
return getMessage(label);
}
}

<menu label="key" path=...

and host the properties in I18nMenu.properties

Menu.getRootMenu() returns a Menu instance which cannot be casted to any
subclass (I18nMenu), of course.
So I'll write my own menu-renderer.

Some people at work have been doing some work with Ageci and creating
an AgeciMenu subclass. In this scenario a MenuFactory class would be
very useful.

Oops you are right. I often have to create menus from RDBMS so I
created a custom FlexiMenu and don't normally have this problem.

Perhaps you can find some inspiration for custom rendering here:

http://code.google.com/p/clickclick/source/browse/trunk/clickclick/core/src/net/sf/clickclick/control/menu/FlexiMenu.java

And example of how to use this menu:

http://code.google.com/p/clickclick/source/browse/trunk/clickclick/core-examples/src/net/sf/clickclick/examples/nav/MenuBuilder.java

You can even see a screenshot of the menu in action ;-)

kind regards
