module Authlogic # This class allows any message in Authlogic to use internationalization. In earlier versions of Authlogic each message was translated via configuration. # This cluttered up the configuration and cluttered up Authlogic. So all translation has been extracted out into this class. Now all messages pass through # this class, making it much easier to implement in I18n library / plugin you want. Use this as a layer that sits between Authlogic and whatever I18n # library you want to use. # # By default this uses the rails I18n library, if it exists. If it doesnt exist it just returns the default english message. The Authlogic I18n class # works EXACTLY like the rails I18n class. This is because the arguments are delegated to this class. # # Here is how all messages are translated internally with Authlogic: # # Authlogic::I18n.t('error_messages.password_invalid', :default => "is invalid") # # If you use a different I18n library or plugin just redefine the t method in the Authlogic::I18n class to do whatever you want with those options. For example: # # # config/initializers/authlogic.rb # module MyAuthlogicI18nAdapter # def t(key, options = {}) # # you will have key which will be something like: "error_messages.password_invalid" # # you will also have options[:default], which will be the default english version of the message # # do whatever you want here with the arguments passed to you. # end # end # # Authlogic::I18n.extend MyAuthlogicI18nAdapter # # That it's! Here is a complete list of the keys that are passed. Just define these however you wish: # # authlogic: # error_messages: # login_blank: can not be blank # login_not_found: does not exist # login_invalid: should use only letters, numbers, spaces, and .-_@ please. # consecutive_failed_logins_limit_exceeded: Consecutive failed logins limit exceeded, account is disabled. # email_invalid: should look like an email address. # password_blank: can not be blank # password_invalid: is not valid # not_active: Your account is not active # not_confirmed: Your account is not confirmed # not_approved: Your account is not approved # no_authentication_details: You did not provide any details for authentication. # models: # user_session: UserSession (or whatever name you are using) # attributes: # user_session: (or whatever name you are using) # login: login # email: email # passwword: password # remember_me: remember me class I18n class << self # All message translation is passed to this method. The first argument is the key for the message. The second is options, see the rails I18n library for a list of options used. def t(key, options = {}) if defined?(::I18n) ::I18n.t(key, options.merge(:scope => :authlogic)) else options[:default] end end alias_method :translate, :t end end end
