Hi, Dan,
Great stuff. Just a quick question about gettext support.
Does it mean that the next generation framework will support
the full language_country notation, instead of the current
double char language code. If so, it would certainly be
a immense improvement for international users.
Cheers,
CK

I mentioned this a week ago on this mailing list and figured I should
update you all on the progress.
Progress has gone splendidly!
We have really got this code moving in the right direction.
Heres a run down of the new stuff:
* Multi-language support added and uses gettext
* If gettext is missing stuff then it can optionally do translations
using babelfish.
* XML-RPC support
* Preferences system
* Admin screens
* App submenu's
* op history (shows you the last 5 places you have been in the app)
* Nicer setup screens using tabs
* More xslt widgets
* Docs are starting to slowly appear
Interface Layer:
I broke out the parts that take the resulting XML and pass it thru
XSLT and to the browser and moved all that to an interface class.
This also included things like handling login, logout and final error
handling. I think wrote an XML-RPC version of the interface class and
things worked out great. I wrote my XML-RPC interface from scratch
for the new framework, so its very nice and tight and fits perfectly.
I will soon embark on writing a SOAP version of the interface class,
and it should be possible to create any number of interfaces.
The nice thing about this is that once past the interface class
everything else happens along the normal process, such as the ACL
checks, language, preferences, hooks and everything else. The app
developer also doesnt have to do anything different whatsoever. So
long as the apps functions use safe_args and return arrays as is the
standard in the new framework, then everything else is handled
transparently and safely.
More details can be found at http://www.kuykendall.org/phpgroupware/
I encourage everyone to take a look and give me feedback. The code is
in the phpGroupWare cvs tree in the proposal-branch
|cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/phpgroupware login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
co -r proposal-branch phpgroupware
cd phpgroupware
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/phpgroupware
co -r proposal-branch admin addressbook api calendar skel wcm |
For those with coding skills, looking at the code its far more
enlightening than using the demo or reading the docs.
