Localization Shortcut plugin

Localization Shortcut plugin adds a shortcut to the CMS dashboard. It allows the user to change the locale and/or timezone settings within the CMS context. This can be particularly useful when users log into the CMS through an SSO-service (therefore bypassing the login options).

Install

Install the plugin version property in the <properties> section of the main pom.xml.

Set the latest version that has been released for your brX(M) project version.

<bloomreach.forge.localizationshortcut.version>4.0.0</bloomreach.forge.localizationshortcut.version>

Install the following dependencies in the <dependencies> section of the cms-dependencies module's pom.xml:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.bloomreach.forge.localization-shortcut</groupId>
      <artifactId>bloomreach-localization-shortcut-repository</artifactId>
      <version>${bloomreach.forge.localizationshortcut.version}</version>
    </dependency>

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.bloomreach.forge.localization-shortcut</groupId>
      <artifactId>bloomreach-localization-shortcut-cms</artifactId>
      <version>${bloomreach.forge.localizationshortcut.version}</version>
    </dependency>

Setup

• Use the CMS Console (/cms/console) to set up this plugin:

• A dashboard shortcut node (localizationShortcutPlugin) will be installed under /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-dashshortcuts

• The locales available in the dropdown are the same as the ones that have been defined for your project. They can be altered here: Localization modules

• To change labels for a locale, find the frontend:pluginconfig child node that corresponds with your locale and alter its properties

• If no frontend:pluginconfig node is present for your locale, copy an existing one and name it according to your locale. Then alter its properties.

• A "show.timezones" property has been added to switch between showing or hiding the dropdown for changing the timezone in the plugin dialog.

• The timezones available in the dropdown are defined as values of multi-valued String property "selectable.timezones". Valid timezone values can be found in the IANA tz database.

• When no "selectable.timezones" property is present, ALL timezones in the IANA tz database will be listed by default.
