p:dataTable - how to customize text of "No records found."?

[rhume]

I need to customize the "No records found." text in p:dataTable. Is there an easy way to do this?

Also, is this text translatable? I need to display an english and french version.

Thanks!

I assume you don't have the user's guide?

Use <p:dataTable emptyMessage="....."

You can localize messages by using message/resource bundles. Look on the internet how to do that. If you have set up you use something like this:

<p:dataTable emptyMessage="#{messagebundle.noRows"}

You will make message bundels for all the languages you need.

And.... just buy the manual, it really is not the price of the thing. Primefaces is a real nice set of open source components.

Optimus, yes I did buy the userguide. Thanks!

Sorry for digging up this old thread.

Is there a way to customize the text for all dataTables eg. in the web.xml or faces.config ?
or do i have to change all tables separately ?

Resource bundle internationalization..silly question

ohh..see it is replied in previous post also


@gollrich
you need to use emptyMessage attribute for all tables and you can give same styleclass for all tables to look like same through out all tables

And to add on to this thread going down a parallel path ...

Is there a way to do parameter substitution on the message all within an EL expression in the error message.

What I would like to use is ...

Code: Select all

emptyMessage="#{messages.label_no_records_found}"

but instead of the

Code: Select all

"#{messages.label_no_records_found}"

some magic EL code that I have not been able to find after much searching so that a message in the properties file looks like this ...

Code: Select all

label_no_records_found=No {0} found

would end up looking like this "No Cars found" ... obviously "Cars" was the valuable of a variable made available to the EL expression.

Something that does the same as this ... but all in a one line expression as that is all that is available ...

Code: Select all

<h:outputFormat value="#{messages.label_no_records_found}" >
    <f:parm value="Cars" />
</h:outputFormat>

Thanks,
Arvid

Look people, Thread Necromancy is not approved of on this Forum.
If you have a question DON'T ASK IT IN A THREAD THAT IS 19 MONTHS OLD!!

Especially if that question has absolutely nothing to do with PrimeFaces: OP, go learn JSF.
