[12:41:24 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> athena7: with the new skin, do you know if the messages file supports actual i18n (multiple files with different en_US type suffixes) or just L10n (just translate it into your portal's locale)?
[12:41:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i don't think that it currently does
[12:42:00 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> adding support would be a great feature though
[12:42:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> thanks just want to make sure I have my facts straight for my presentation
[12:42:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yes it would
[12:43:01 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I'm hoping if we can move more of the framework to Spring-MVC and such we can start using more of the i18n framework Spring provides
[12:43:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah
[12:43:27 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that'd be great
[12:43:34 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i wouldn't think it'd be that hard to add support
[12:43:41 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> just have to make it point to the right file
[12:43:50 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> a lot easier now that all that's abstracted out into it's own file
[12:44:09 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> yup
[12:44:29 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> as with much of what's been done ... it will make a lot of these future tasks easier (at least that's the idea)
[12:44:57 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> so you also mentioned previously that the new theme is easier to skin
[12:45:06 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> could you summarize in a few lines why exactly?
[12:51:10 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> I just did some poking ... messages.xml does support i18n
[12:51:26 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> the layout just hardcodes the locale right now
[12:51:32 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> but that could be a very easy tweak
[12:51:35 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> neat
[12:53:06 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh that's good
[12:53:21 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> you just use the xml-lang attribute in the messages file
[12:53:25 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> gary added a huge number of css hooks
[12:53:41 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> which should make it easier to skin, since there's a lot more places to attach css classes
[12:53:53 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> also the structure is just a little more general
[12:54:20 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah
[13:06:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i've been able to recreate the yale theme with a lot more css and a lot less xml editing
[13:06:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> which is good
[13:06:40 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> cool
[13:06:52 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> also gives you more flexibility to make skins that have components in different places
[13:08:30 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> ah
