[TYPO3-mvc] Domain model object localization in FE

[Chatelain Jean-Christophe]

Hi,

I want to create a plugin that let users localize domain model object in
frontend.

I created an action < localize > in my model controller where I pass the
record to be localized and the language in wich it should be localized.

 

...

/**

                 * Create a localized culture.

                 *

                 * @param Tx_Pagextmvc_Domain_Model_Culture
$originalCulture the Culture to display

                 * @param string $sys_language_uid the language to
localize to (shortname - RFC 1766)

                 * @param Tx_Pagextmvc_Domain_Model_Culture
$localizedCulture a freshly localized Culture object which has not yet
been added to the repository

                 * @return string A form to localize a Culture

                 * @dontvalidate $localizedCulture

                 */

                public function
localizeAction(Tx_Pagextmvc_Domain_Model_Culture $originalCulture, 

 
$sys_language_uid,

 
Tx_Pagextmvc_Domain_Model_Culture $localizedCulture = null ) {

                               

 
$this->view->assign('language',$sys_language_uid);

                               $this->view->assign('originalCulture',
$originalCulture);

                               $this->view->assign('localizedCulture',
$localizedCulture);

                }

 

Then I created my Localize view where I set a form to create a new
object and I added the properties for _languageUid and _localizedUid.

 

... 

<f:form method="post" action="create" name="newCulture"
object="{localizedCulture}" >

<f:render partial="Culture/formFields"
arguments="{domainObject:domainObject}" />

                <f:form.hidden property="_languageUid"
value="{language}" />

                <f:form.hidden property="_localizedUid"
value="{originalCulture.uid}" />

                <f:form.submit value="{f:translate( key:'save')}" />

</f:form>

 

 

This doesn't work at all, give me this error : The value must be of type
"Tx_Pagextmvc_Domain_Model_Culture", but was of type "NULL".

 

I would be glad if someone can point me to the right way to do this. I'm
learning extbase (and also DDD and MVC) and it's a little bit confusing.

 

Thanks in advance.
