[Chameleon] flaw in new MLT design?

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Hi list,

I think I have run into a flaw in the new MLT design.

If you make a widget which extends an existing widget, and the widget file
contains MLT code, it seems impossible to get the text internationalized.

For instance, I have a widget called GeoservicesClearWFSFilter, which
extends ClearWFSFilter. The right language file is read and put into the
array, but the keys in the array are called GeoservicesClearWFSFilter
ofcourse (the widget name).

My widget file is minimal:

include_once(CHAMELEON_PATH."/widgets/ClearWFSFilter/ClearWFSFilter.widget.p
hp");

/**
 * GeoservicesClearWFSFilter
 */
class GeoservicesClearWFSFilter extends ClearWFSFilter
{
}

But the ClearWFSFilter widget tries to read with a key named ClearWFSFilter,
and therefore finds nothing in the MLT array:

$szNoFilterMessage = $this->moMLT->get( 'ClearWFSFilter', '1', 'There is no
filter to clear.' );

The only solution I see for this is to use:

$szNoFilterMessage = $this->moMLT->get( $this->mszWidgetName, '1', 'There is
no filter to clear.' );

Otherwise the MLT system cannot deal with widget inheritance .....

This will require quite some changes though in the Chameleon code base :-(
.......

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Bart
