Different naming of field name at list and detail modes

[Brian Cheong]

Hi all,

I want to have a different naming for the field name at list and detail mode. For instance, I have a property, named projectName2010. At detail mode, I want to name it as "Project Name" but at list mode, I want to name it as "Project Name (2010)". Is it possible to achieve these with openxava?

Thanks.

Brian

I think you should use the internatinalization file i18n_xx to define your lables for modules, fields,, associations, tabs etc. See URL below

Hi Shankar,

I did use the internationalization file to change the field name. But I want the field name on detail mode to be changed only. Is it possible to do so? I want to have two different field names for list and detail modes but they are under the same property.

Possible I think
This is extract from the wiki page

Specific module field names can be overridden like this:
Classroom.location=Door Badge

For associations, there is often a qualified field, which can be overridden like this:
Project.currentManager.managerName=PM Name

In List mode, qualified names are automatically qualified by OpenXava like this: Manager name of Current manager. If this is not desired, it can be overridden like this:

Project.tab.properties.currentManager.managerName=PM Name

for detail mode use Entity.fieldname= Your Field Name

for list mode use Entity.tab.properties.fieldName=Your Property Name

Please go through the wiki page

Thanks

Hi Shankar,

Thanks alot for the explanation on that part.

Hi Shankar,

I have tried with the following code:

Resident.tab.properties.numberOfMale=Number of Male

for displaying at the list mode's table but not working at all. It displays the default field name "Number of male" instead.

By the way, I can display "Number:" at the detail mode with the code:

Resident.numberOfMale=Number:

Please help me. Thanks.

----------------------------------EDIT----------------------------------

I think I found why the code is not working. It is due to I have my numberOfMale property under occupation{selfEmployed[student[numberOfMale,numberOfFemale, totalStudent]]}. Thus, what should be the correct format for Resident.tab.properties.numberOfMale=Number of Male?

Still need help

Well, I got the solution. Instead of Resident., it should be villageInformation, which is having the collection view.
