Re: catalogs ? not multilingual
After banging my head for pretty much the entire day, could somebody guide me
through this process??
I did the following:
1) I created a new category
2) clicked on content
3) chose "Category Name" from the "Add Product Category Content" table,
clicked on Prepare Create
4) Chose From Date to yesterday
5) entered Locale String "de"
6) entered Text "deutscher Text"
7) clicked on Create
repeated the very same for "en" and "english Text". Yet, nothing changes
when I change the locale in the ecommerce-application...
I also tried the following, without any difference:
8) in category view clicked on Edit Content
9) clicked on Association
10) entered "Webstore Content" in Content Id To
11) Selected Content Assoc Type Id (Alternate Locale)
12) clicked on Create

Why not use the left side bar model in catalog for CMS.
and yes Have a preference for Auto Create.
Should be relative easy using SECAS

Well, I just wanted to stop by and say that whoever came up with the concept
of Menu and Form Widgets is a Bloody Genius!
Thank you so much for hinting me there, too. This concept makes everything
alot easier!!!

Why not create data in files like in DemoProductCategoriesI18nData.xml or DemoProductI18nData.xml ?

Hmm, yeah :)
Both files make a good read - thx!
I think that as for the categories, I will probably just create an entity of
my own (with productCategoryId, locale, name, description and imageUrl) and
rework the Sidedeepcategory,categorydetail and breadcrumbs ftl files. Later
in the process I am urged to create a new set of "wizzards" for the creation
and editing of new categories anyway, so i got the feeling that this may
actually be easier than to mess with the cms. Especially since I am using
Magnolia for the real content anyway...
It is a bummer though, looking at the logic behind the ofbiz cms, i can
clearly see that everything is in place just fine - the structure is really
well done and makes a whole lotta sense. It's just that as for categories
and/or products, I don't really want to hussle with so many screens to go
through... If it takes me more than 5min to create a product in
multilanguages, I doubt that I can find coworkers who would even touch it at
all... so perhaps it is best to do the workaround as i intend it for now...
which reminds me, perhaps it would make more sense to auto-create the
DataResources and Assocs when using the catalog/create button?!

Have a look into DemoProductCategoriesI18nData.xml. Also did you have a look into attachments on this page ?

I have stumbled upon this well written article:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/How+to+localize+Product+and+Categories+descriptions+(work+in+progress...)
but even after carefully following the steps, I couldn't get this thing to
work...
Any idea?, Btw, why are 7 steps necessary for the localisation of a category
name... Is this really necessary?
