#237 vocab override feature

[dwpoon]

It would be nice if config.inc.php could override certain built-in UI vocabulary terms, say, to match house terminology.

For example, in our organization, we have deployed two instances of MRBS (with different access rights): one called "Meeting Room Booking System", and another called "Office Booking System".

With this feature, I could specify
$vocab_override['en']['mrbs'] = 'Office Booking System';
on the latter system and not have to hack lang.en every time I upgrade.

The suggested patch is the minimal change to implement this feature. It's ugly copy-and-paste programming; I suggest cleaning it up before incorporating it into MRBS.

Suggested patch against MRBS 1.4.8

Good idea. Implemented in Rev 2273.

Thanks,

Is this or is this not actually working in 1.4.9? I see that this feature request is still open and I can't seem to make the vocab_override variable(s) do what they're supposed to do.

[Campbell Morrison]

Should be. What have you got set and where?

Nevermind. I had a require_once("language.inc") in my config.inc.php that
must have been there for an older version. Removing it seems to have fixed
the problem.

Thanks,

I've got custom strings for the email confirmations and for the booking
types. Here's how I've got it in my config.inc.php:

$vocab_override['en']['mail_body_new_entry'] = "A new entry has been
booked.\n" .
"If this is for an event, please be
sure " .
"to fill out the event form: " .
"
https://intranet.systemsbiology.net/Plone/administration/communications/events-1\n"
.
"If this is for a video conference, " .
"please be sure to fill out the VTC
form: " .
"
https://intranet.systemsbiology.net/Plone/administration/information-technology/services/vtc\n"
.
"Details on your room booking are
below:";
$vocab_override['en']['mail_body_changed_entry'] = "An entry has been
modified.\n" .
"If this is for an event, please be
sure " .
"to fill out the event form: " .
"
https://intranet.systemsbiology.net/Plone/administration/communications/events-1\n"
.
"If this is for a video conference, " .
"please be sure to fill out the VTC
form: " .
"
https://intranet.systemsbiology.net/Plone/administration/information-technology/services/vtc\n"
.
"Details on your room booking are
below:";
$vocab_override["en"]["type.I"] = "ISB";
$vocab_override["en"]["type.E"] = "Tenant";

It looks to me like it follows the examples in the systemdefaults.inc.php,
but maybe I'm missing something. I'm also not getting any errors from php
so php doesn't think anything bad is happening.
