[Mapbender-dev] proposal: new column in db

[Christoph Baudson (WhereGroup)]

When experimenting with internationalization I realized that there is a 
general need to separate content from structure in Mapbender.

An example is the tooltip for each module, which originates from a 
database entry "e_attributes" in table "gui_element". A typical entry 
would look like this:

onclick='mod_addWMS()'  onmouseover='this.src = 
this.src.replace(/_off/,"_over");'  onmouseout='this.src = 
this.src.replace(/_over/, "_off");' title="Adding WMS"

It's not easy extracting the translation of the title from this field. 
So I propose to add a new column "e_title" to gui_element, where the 
tooltip may come from. By this way, it will be easy to translate the 
title as it is isolated.

The title may also be used for the headers in the module "mod_tab".

Please vote on my proposal ASAP, so I can check in the relevant code 
before my vacation starting Saturday.

Thanks
