How to remove the language select box?

[Jacopo Cappellato]

We have recently discussed about moving the the language select box out
of the header; it seemed to me there was a general consensus to go on
with it, and I too think it is a good idea.

What is the best way to implement this?
A screen for language selection in the WorkEffort application seems a
good idea, but if the applications are not loaded this will prevent the
language selection.
One option is to:

1) add the screen to the WorkEffort application
2) display the language selection box in the header, but only for the
WebTools application (we could use a parameter to hide/show the select
box from the header)

Does it make sense?

I always pictured a popup screen like the field lookup screens.

So, the header would simply display the current language with a "Change
Language" button next to it. Click the button, a screen pops up with the
language selection list. Select a language, click "Set" and the popup window
goes away. The main screen the displays the newly-selected language.

Assumption: When the value of language changes the screen will submit itself
so the language change takes into effect.

While playing around with the existing language selection list, I encountered
what may be a bug.

Starting in the Example component, I switched to the Italian language. The page
displayed the new language. I went to the Accounting component. The language is
still English. I switched it to Italian. The page displayed Italian. I go back
to the Example component and switch it back to English. I go back to Accounting
and it is still in Italian.

It seems the language selection is not carrying across sessions.

Sessions are maintained per webapp. This is part of the Java Servlet  
spec.

David,

Thanks for the reply. I kinda already knew that. I was wondering out loud if
this is something that has been addressed - since other bits of OFBiz data
travel between sessions.

Do you see any problems with persisting a user's language choice so that all
OFBiz components will recognize the setting change?

Can we move the new time zone selection too?

Guido,

Did you try using the ofbiz-642-locale_tz.patch file? It moves both select boxes to separate screens.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I didn´t try the patch. It was just
because I din´t see any comment about it in this thread. I should have
checked the Jira issue.

Thank you! and I think it is a great UI improvement.

Guido,

If you like the patch, then please vote for the Jira issue. That will increase its chances of making
it into the project.
