As the originator of management_page_charset, I should have jumped into this thread earlier. My appologies for my late arrival. On Thursday 15 January 2004 17:22, Martijn Faassen wrote:
it assumes the only place management_page_charset can be coming from is a property, which is not true.
Ive missed the use case that needs this. management_page_charset was added as a transition aid for people who already had sites where their use of the management interface assumed something other than latin-1 was used for plain string properties. That is, a transition towards using unicode objects for storing all natural language strings. I wouldnt like to see management_page_charset grow into something bigger than this - its too ugly.
Considering the amount of rewriting necessary to make this saner and the scariness of doing that just before a Zope 2.7 release, I'll skip it and live with my Formulator hack solution.
Can you point me to a desicription of this hack please. -- Toby Dickenson
