JustTexts
=========

[](#justtexts)

Multi language text administration tool.

The purpose of this tool is to administer text containers for multiple languages via a browser and place it in i18n compatible format in the file system to be used in all kinds of programming languages, either backend or frontend.

With JavaScript, the texts can be used via i18n.js (see:  for details).

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

This package requires JustAPI as REST API backend, so checkout JustAPI into vendor/justso/justapi. Checkout this package into vendor/justso/justtexts Add a 'language' attribute to config.json file from JustAPI containing a list of language codes you want to use and an entry in the "services" section of config.json for the JustTexts services.

Example:

```
...
"languages": ["de", "en", "fr"],
"services": {
    ...
    "justtexts/*": "file:vendor/justso/justtexts/services.json"
}
...

```

### Download required libraries

[](#download-required-libraries)

The following libraries are needed:

- Backbone.js:
- Require.js:
- text Plugin:
- i18n Plugin:
- jQuery:
- Underscrore.js
- Bootstrap

Just download them as minimized versions together with the corresponding .map files into vendor folder.

### Adapt Apache configuration

[](#adapt-apache-configuration)

Alter your Apache config file to point the '/justtexts' directory to the JavaScript part of the package and for easy access to required libraries:

```
Alias /justtexts /path/to/my/project/vendor/justso/justtexts/frontend
Alias /vendor /path/to/my/project/vendor

```

After reloading the apache configuration ("service apache2 reload") the application should be accessible via

Usage of text administration
----------------------------

[](#usage-of-text-administration)

Texts are grouped as 'pages'. So, at first, create a page in the list and give it a name. It is good practice to use the same name as the html page's name (not the title), so if your URL is , it would be easy for you to find the corresponding texts later if you name the page 'my-page'.

Creating a page is easy: just press the "Add page" button and click on the "Name" field in the empty list row. After entering a name and leaving the field (by clicking somewhere else or pressing the tab button) the page is created. Changing the name is easy as well: just click on the name and change it. Again, the change is made persisting when you leave the field. By moving the mouse over the row, a 'x' icon is displayed at the right of the row, allowing you to delete the page.

After creating a page, a second list is displayed right of the first one. There you see all texts yet defined in this page - none. With the "Add text" button you can create new text blocks for the page, each having a unique name and the text itself. The text is later accessed via its unique name. Creating, altering or deleting texts is just the same as with pages. Just WYSIWYG.

Accessing texts
---------------

[](#accessing-texts)

Texts are placed in a directory 'htdocs/nls' in JavaScript files compatible to i18n.js (see above) and can be accessed with this package, which is a require.js plugin. So, just require "i18n!my-page" in your AMD module to access texts for your page with the name 'my-page'. The names of the text containers are the names of the parameter's attributes. i18n takes care of loading the texts in the language your user prefers - if it exists. Else, it defaults to the language defined first in your config.json file.

Translation
-----------

[](#translation)

Translation means calling the administration and changing the language to the desired one. The text in the base language (this is the language defined first in your config.json file) is displayed side by side for each text container to make translation easier.

JustTexts takes care on texts changed after translations. So, if your text in the base language is changed, the texts in the container of all other languages is marked as outdated. In the administration, outdated texts are marked in red, so it is relatively easy to find such texts and re-translate them if necessary.
