Re: [Nuxeo-localizer] Localizer and ZPT

[Juan David Ibáñez Palomar]

Hi,


EXPLANATION

This is the effect of the patch number 3 of Localizer.

Why? With a local folder object you can store images as img_en,
img_es, etc.. and then reference them with "folder.img". The
problem is that with the default behaviour of Image.__call__
you get the url ".../folder/img", then the image is cached by
the browser and it doesn't changes when the language changes.

The patch transforms this to the real physical path, which is
different for every image, "folder/img_en" or "folder/img_es",
this way it's possible to localize an image, doesn't matters
which language negotiation policy was choosed.


PROPOSAL

This patch comes from the old days when Localizer used SiteAccess.
Maybe it's posible to do something more elegant now. What about if
the patch preserved the normal url but appended the language extension?
In your example (if you used local folders) this could look like
"http://localhost:8080/Test/myimage_en"; instead of "/Test/myimage_en".

This way the url looks much more like the normal one, without throwing
off the use of Virtual Host Monster or SiteRoot stuff. But it would be
still different for every language and then the caching problem would be
avoided.

What do you think?


QUICK SOLUTION

In the meantime you can restore the normal behaviour commenting the line
that reads "Image.Image.tag = tag" in the "Localizer/__init__.py" file.


Cheers,
