Hello Lachlan,
Hello all,
I've been searching this week end on how to customize the display
of a WOToManyRelationship destinationDisplayKey.
Here's what I have:
-a framework with my objects classes
-an application with a WOToManyRelationship
I suppose what you want could be done by your EO subclass. i.e.,
overriding the method indicated by destinationDisplayKey to return
what you want.
If I use some of the attribute to compose the string it works perfectly.
But I need to access a key in a .string file (included in the
framework).
So I tried WOApplication.application().resourceManager().stringForKey
(anAttributeOfTheEntity, "NameOfTheStringFile", null, null, null)
but even if it compiles fine, I just get "null" when the values are
displayed in the page.
So I'm assuming WOResourceManger isn't suppose to work in a
Framework...but I may be wrong.
Later I'll also need to pass a value for the available language, and
I'm not sure on how to "bind" that in the WOToManyRelationship..
So my second guess was to create the method that got to the .string
file directly inside my component.java file.
But this time I don't know what to put for "anAttributeOfTheEntity"
in stringForKey(anAttributeOfTheEntity, "NameOfTheStringFile", null,
null, null)
I really don't know how to do this:(
I'd like to change the value of the display string, but I just
can't find how to. Precisely I'd like to get the value from
a .strings file using WOResourceManager.
My issue is that I cannot use a custom method in the framework as
it appears WOResourceManager doesn't work, at least I couldn't
make it work (I used WOApplication.application().resourceManager
(), but I got null value,
That's weird.
So I tried adding a method to my application component class, but
it looks like WOToManyRelationship doesn't even call my method!
What are you passing?
And I would have to pass the destination objet to this method to
be able to extract the requested key(s) and create the display
string...
Why?
with regards,
