Hello all,
What is $msg variable, and where can I read more about it? (is not in xwikivars.vm...) And
how does $msg.get() works?
Please, I really need some help. I want to include support for languages in my datepicker
and Sergiu told me to put the strings in ApplicationRessources.properties and now I'm
trying to get them in a js file with
$msg.get("core.datepicker.somethingdefinedbymehere"), but it seems that the
server does not know how $msg is, but it knows who $xwiki, $context and all other are....
So please, please, I would like to know more about this variable or how to get the strings
from ApplicatonRessources.
I'd really appreciate some help because I'm stuck on this....
Thank you very much,
Evelina

The ApplicationResources files are used for templates and skin
properties. However if you're developing an XWiki application (XAR)
then you should use a page in your application to contain the
translations as described on http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/
DevGuide/InternationalizingApplications
Note that I don't know what you're developing...
BTW this means that we need to create a translation page for the
default wiki and put all translations in there and NOT in the
ApplicationResources files.
So please, please, I would like to know more about
this variable or
how to get the strings from ApplicatonRessources.

Hi,
It seems that I introduced a bug a while ago, but this is because the
MessageTool is created in the wrong places.
Now, to explain a bit how to find more information about $msg.
If you don't know what variable is, you can write $msg.class to find
out what kind of object is that. In this case, you find out it is a
com.xpn.xwiki.web.XWikiMessageTool instance.
Next, you open your favorite IDE (let's say Eclipse) and navigate to
that class. You want to know where is that object placed in the
context, so you can right click the class name, or the java file in
the tree browser, and select References->Project.
The first result is exactly XWiki.getMessage, which I told you to try.
Since it is not in the API, you can look if there is an equivalent
method in the api.XWiki class, which you can call from velocity.
Another search result is XWiki.prepareResources. Looking at this
method, you see that this is the place where the $msg variable is
placed in the context:
XWikiMessageTool msg = new XWikiMessageTool(bundle, context);
context.put("msg", msg);
If your script does not have $msg, then it means that this method is
not called, or an error occurred before putting the MessageTool in the
context. So let's see where is this method called.
You right click the prepareResources method and search for
References->Project, and so you see that it is called either in
XWiki.prepareDocuments, or in XWikiightServiceImpl#checkAccess. in
XWiki.prepareDocuments it is only created for a registration request,
so this leaves the checkAccess as the only place where
prepareResources is called.
After looking inside checkAccess, I see that all the code branches
have a prepareResources call, so the problem is that checkAccess is
not called in some places. Searching for the references to
XWikiRightService#checkAccess (the interface method, not the
implementation one), we see that the only relevant place where it is
called is XWiki#checkAccess, and opening this method we see:
if (action.equals("skin") &&
doc.getSpace().equals("skins"))
return true;
return getRightService().checkAccess(action, doc, context);
So the problem is that for the /skin/ action, we skip the checkAccess
method, thus we don't create the MessageTool.
I'll fix this problem right away, so you should svn update in a few minutes.

As always, Sergiu saved my day :D. Indeed, now $msg.get() from javascript works fine in
xwiki, although usually it shouldn't work, as Catalin said (javascript is client-side
and velocity server-side) but in xwiki somehow really works.
Thanks again Sergiu. And of course, thank you all who answered my question.
It's a very nice community here at xwiki :D and I'm happy to be part of it.

As I know, $msg == java context.get("msg") == XWikiMessageTool class
You can read about it in javadocs in
xwiki-platform-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/web/XWikiMessageTool.java
Please, I really need some help. I want to include
support for languages in my datepicker and Sergiu told me to put the strings in

As I know, external javascript files(<script src=..>) do not parsed by
xwiki velocity/groovy parsers (as .vm files), so xwiki variables won't
work here.
Perhaps you need to create vm file with your javascripts and include it
to somewhere by #template(yourfile.vm)
Sorry I don't know else more about it :)

Artem, in the current sources, javascript files that get through
SkinAction are interpreted by velocity and groovy. Those that are
taken from the filesystem directly indeed cannot be parsed.
