Shortening a wicket:message
Hey,
I have a component that constructs a wicket:message just like Erik does
in his blog post
(http://day-to-day-stuff.blogspot.com/2008/05/wicket-internationalization.html)
the .html is as follows:
<wicket:message key="sentence">
<wicket:container wicket:id="userComponent"></wicket:container>
<wicket:container wicket:id="actionComponent"></wicket:container>
<wicket:container wicket:id="targetComponent"></wicket:container>
<wicket:container wicket:id="donationTarget"></wicket:container>
</wicket:message>
the .properties file is the following:
sentence=${userComponent}: I'll ${actionComponent} if ${targetComponent}
${donationTarget}.
# replaces ${userComponent} in 'sentence'
userComponentText=${user.firstname} ${user.lastname}
# replaces ${actionComponent} in 'sentence'
actionComponentText.action=${sentenceActionText}
# replaces ${targetComponent} in 'sentence'
targetComponentText=${targetGroup} pay ${sum} Euros to ${target}
this results in nice sentences based on various cases handled in the
java file - an example output might be:
"John Jones: I'll climb on the highest mountain if my friends pay 100
Euros to my Auntie"
My problem now is, that on some pages the output should be shortened, so
the above sentence should be something like:
"John Jones: I'll climb on the highest mountain if my friends ..." or
"John Jones: I'll climb on the highest mountain if my friends pay 100
Euros to"
Anyone got an idea?
cheers,
Michael

you can copy wicket:message releated functionality into a new tag that
takes an extra maxlen attribute, or you can create a patch for the
core.
