Any ideas about an algorithm to generate a more comprehensible error message? (In reply to comment #2) > Any ideas about an algorithm to generate a more comprehensible error message? I'm afraid that's not trivial. Can we postpone this bug to 2.0.1? fine for me. additionally, tooltips must be shortened, because not all browsers display them entirely. useful maximum should be about 50 chars. How about
"You cannot {event} this document."
That's short and works in English, assuming that the event name is a verb.
If we provide i18n for event names, we can extend it to other languages:
"Sie können das Dokument nicht {event}".
sounds good. if it doesn't work in a particular language, we can always use "you
cannot invoke workflow event {event}" instead.
(In reply to comment #5) > How about > > "You cannot {event} this document." The problem here is that the message doesn't tell why the document can't be published (workflow/permissions/...). Can we live with this? |
situation: doc 1 is submitted and therefore not editable; the edit commands are not active (ok), the tooltip message to these commands should say something like "document is not editable since in state review". The actual tooltips are not helpful ("What You See Is What You Get" or "The event edit is not executable on document ...").
