Hi devs,
In order to implement http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-8584 I had to
choose between using the document translation bundle on demand (only
when needed) and using it automatically (in some scope).
The problem with on demand is that if you have a live table you need a
custom live table results page just to demand the translation bundle
when live table results are fetched.
So I decided to use wiki scope, but, as it turns out, you need special
rights to register a document translation bundle on the entire wiki. A
simple user creating an application with AWM won't have the
application translation bundle registered.
The reason I choose the 'wiki' scope is that there was no 'space'
scope. Space (application) scope makes a lot of sense in my case and
I'm wondering if it's hard to implement it. Note that I already make
the application creator an admin of the application space, so
requiring space administration rights for space scope is fine for me.
WDYT I should do for 4.5:
(1) use the document translation on demand and generate a custom live
table results page or
(2) push for Thomas to implement space scope if it's simple :)
Implementing 2 is quite easy as Thomas pointed out. We didn't have the need till now
for registering a component at the space level but it's a valid use case.
Now you don't really need space level if I understand correctly your use case. All you
need is to have translations available for the generate application's home page (where
the livetable is). Using a Space scope would be a workaround.
Ideally we would just need a Request scope so that a component can be visible during a
full request. I guess it should not be that hard to implement either. We could just save
the list of components registered for that request in the execution context.
It would be intermediary between page and space scopes.
WDYT?
Thanks
