I am using the default Links module to create a list of links in DotNetNuke.
So I have added the module inside the page and gave a title of "Links". Then I have added two links pointing to page of my site (Link 1 and Link 2).
Now I would like to translate the page and its modules to another language. I have been able to translate everything on the page except the title of every link inside the module (Link 1/Link 2).
Is there a way to accomplish this? Am I using these features in the correct way?
Generally speaking, is there a way to localize DNN standard modules?
A bit late but might I suggest the ealo text html module. This might be the solution
With core localization features (as of 5.6) - when you localize a page you are effectively making a copy - and the intent is that you localize the text in the module on the second page manually - meaning that you physically update the second links module's text/links etc.

My Models / data silos are in a different class library which contain data annotation - Required, Max Length and some custom validation. This all works great in English however is there a way to swap the English validation message for the Spanish using a global resource file contained in the web project. The class library is used both on the web site and other components so I cannot be assured that the resource file will be in the same project.
Assuming you are talking about a .Net MVC application, I suggest you have a look at this blog post about internationalization in MVC3:
http://afana.me/post/aspnet-mvc-internationalization.aspx
For a project I am currently working on, we decided to place the resource-files in a separate project, so that we could keep all the resource-strings in one place, and then simply referring to the language-project from any other project that needs multi-lingual support.
I am new to Symfony and I need to work to a large project with many themes to modify them. How can I find where actually is the theme file in which module, just looking at the HTML browser output? Or do I need to look somewhere else, routing for example?
What you want to do is use the Web Debug Toolbar.
Once you have that running on the page, using appname_dev.php, simple click the view link and it will show you which templates have been used. If you need to know which layout to use then use logs link, click none the sfPHPView.
I inherited the management of a Symfony site and need to add some HTMl form tags to one of the "static" pages via the CMS. The scenario I have is:
/index.php/splash/welcome pulls up the welcome screen.
We want to be able to add a subscription button on that page.
The HTML has been supplied for us by the company that handles the subscriptions.
The form post method has an action that references a script on a remote site (no lectures on the security implications please ;-).
When I add the <form... and <input... tags via the CMS admin panel, the tags get removed automatically by Symfony.
Is there a way to tell Symfony to allow these tags?
Thanks in advance,
Marty.
This is goign to depend completely on how the developer set up the CMS. Youre using a rich text editor in source mode i would take a look at that editor's config file and documentation because its probably the one responsible for stripping the tags.
If its just a plain text area i would check the submit action for the edit form and take a look at the code... he may be using something to strip them in there.
If youre using one of the Symfony CMS plugins (Diem, Apostrophe, Sympal) i might be able to help further if i know which one youre using. If its something custom we would need to see the code. This isnt really indiciative of the Symfony core, but rather the CMS youre using.
My site currently has some static pages. I'm looking for a rails wysiwyg webtool with which I can change those static pages (with images) dynamically. The number of pages is fixed and I don't have to be able to dynamically add new.
Update
The site already has a design template assigned which I don't need to change. I only need to be able to change the content of some of the pages.
Someone can suggest me something?
Thanks
Stijn
Are you looking for a server site tool that facilitates editing static HTML files but uses a web browser interface?
If so I think that only solves part of the problem. You pages still have, presumably, some common "furniture" like a Banner pane, Left pane, Right pane, Footer. If you want to change these you will have to edit every file. What about if you have telephone number in the Banner - if that changed it would be better to just change that centrally.
These are problems that a Content Management System addresses, so if you are not familiar with that you may want to read up on CMS.
To compare CMS systems see: http://cmsmatrix.org/matrix/cms-matrix?func=search
You can enter "Rails" or maybe "Ruby" in the Language field of the Search form
Try Radiant CMS
I have just started playing with the ASP.Net MVC framework, and today I created a simple UserControl that uses some CSS. Since the CSS was declared in a separate file and included in the View that called the UserControl, and not in the UserControl itself, Visual Studio could not find any of the CSS classes used in the UserControl. This got me thinking about what would be the most appropriate way of dealing with CSS in UserControls.
Declaring the CSS in the View that is using the UserControl gives more flexibility if the same control is used in different contexts and needs to be able to adapt to the style of the calling View.
Having the UserControl supply its own CSS would lead to a more clear separation, and the Views would not need to know anything about the HTML/CSS generated by the UserControl, but at the cost of a fixed look of the control.
Since I am totally new to the framework, I'm guessing people have already come to some good conclusions about this.
So, would you have the UserControl handle its own CSS, should it depend on the CSS declared in the calling View, or is there another, better solution?
If you look at a skinable toolkit like Yahoo UI it documents the classes used by each control and then provides a single skin file for the entire toolkit. By swapping out the single skin file you can change looks for your entire site.
I would assume that 99.9% of the time you would want to custom skin your controls and not have them come predefined with a look and feel.
As an example here are the CSS defines for Yahoo's TabView control
It should always be in your global CSS really. If you pass this on to a designer, you dont want to have to explain which control defines x style, etc.
A quick point... it's ok for your Views to be aware of HTML... that's what they are for. What I would recommend (if you want to be ubber cool), is to add a parameter to your "MVC UserControl" that specifies the class name. Example:
<%= MyHelperClass.Marquee("This text will scroll!!!", "important-text") %>
I'm of course pretending that "important-text" is the class name that I want to add to my control.
I am assuming that when you say "UserControl", you're referring to an example like in that link above.
