Matthew Carroll	Sunday 12 November 2006 5:18:34 pm It's in the latest 3.9 specification, see the specs .pdf, page 19: http://ez.no/community/developer/specs/feature_request_list_for_ez_publish_3_9 ...I suppose we just have to hope it isn't dropped again. Matthew http://carroll.org.uk
Matthew Carroll	Sunday 12 November 2006 9:02:26 pm Hmm... doesn't look like there's any mention of it in the new feature documentation in snv: http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/doc/features/3.9/ I'd be interested to hear from any ez devs: can we expect to see this in 3.9?

Xavier Dutoit	Monday 13 November 2006 1:56:33 am Hi, From what I've seen, that's been dropped again. X+ http://www.sydesy.com
Matthew Carroll	Tuesday 21 November 2006 1:38:07 pm How frustrating. I actually found it quite embarrassing after building a large 4-language site for an international network, having to explain to the organisation why they needed to put 'English' urls on press releases in Portuguese, etc, if they wanted to direct people to any page except the front of the site. The strange thing is, it's not listed in the feature list under either 'done' or 'skipped' - it just seems to have vanished. http://ez.no/community/developer/roadmap/ez_publish_3_9 I would have thought that after being skipped in 3.8 for technical reasons, and listed in the feature list for 3.9 it should have been a 'priority 1' task this time round. If it has been skipped (which seems very likely now 3.9 is at release-candidate stage) my feeling is that it should at least be listed as 'skipped', priority [1], so it isn't missed next time round.

Xavier Dutoit	Wednesday 22 November 2006 1:13:52 am Hi, Agree with you. Fill a bug report. X+ http://www.sydesy.com
Matthew Carroll	Thursday 23 November 2006 4:14:31 pm I found an existing feature request so I've bumped that with a comment: http://issues.ez.no/8886 Any response from the ez crew about what happened to this feature? Thanks Matthew http://carroll.org.uk
Laurent BOURREL	Friday 22 December 2006 3:12:15 am Hi, No news from the ez crew about this subject ? Even in the bug report, there's no answer about why it is so complicated... Does someone has an idea of a hack to implement this ? Perhaps using a filter design pattern like in J2EE to change the aliases on the fly ? Thanks for your ideas !
Matthew Carroll	Friday 22 December 2006 2:08:42 pm Hi Laurent As well as bumping the bug report, I also asked about this on the eZ publish development list. The only answer so far: "A more detailed explanation of this issue will follow in the coming days." http://lists.ez.no/pipermail/sdk-public/2006-December/002513.html Matthew http://carroll.org.uk

Xavier Dutoit	Monday 22 January 2007 11:32:53 pm Hi Jan, From a technical point of view, your answer makes perfectly sense. However, based on what we've seen on real situations, you can add assume quite a few things to simplify: 1) You don't add languages on a daily basis on sites. That's more or less defined since the beginning, and if you add a language, running a big long script to update everything isn't a big problem, and way less than having to find translators ;) 2) The content is not translated issue and language preferences order. (keep in mind that you won't change the priority order, and if you do, running a script isn't a big deal). More over, you won't have 3 site access in norvegian with different language priorities. Therefore, you can safely assume that for each single object, you only have one url per language, hence only 4 for ez.no for instance. About the optimisations you mention, wouldn't it be possible by storing 4 time more urls to keep them and not overcomplicate the system ? Saying that you have one url per language of the object (independent of the site accesses) is not perfect, but it's way better than one url for all the languages, isn't it? X+ http://www.sydesy.com
