Currently menu items are shown in alphabetical order in applications and
no clear order in system configuration. This is done using static
weights for menu items based on English names that does not work for
other locales.
Sorting can't be done at the time of adding menu items as users of
multiple locales may use the interface at the same time.
Implement a sorting mechanism based on existing order as well as labels
of menu item. This allows the flexiblity of grouping menu items in
future as it may be need for system configuration. In case of help menu
Remove sort order for all modules except for help menu as here we want
that specific order.
- There is no reason to limit the number of languages supported by the
application. This is what happens when LANGUAGES is set during Django
configuration. Users should be able to set a language using browser
preferences and see at least the Django translated messages even if
Plinth messages are not translated (example user create/edit form).
- If we wish to limit the number of language options shown duing
language selection (for quality perception reasons), we should perform
the limiting at the time of configuration.
- Note that when a new language is requested in translation tool, we
create an empty file and that may lead to language being shown but
with few strings actually translated. This will have poor impact on
user experience. I wonder if we should filter language at all,
keeping this in mind.
- In appears that in Debian it is possible to set the timezones from one
of the listed items in zonetab.info or addtitional timezones from the
directory /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/. Add these too.
- By default all FreedomBox images have Etc/UTC as time zone. This is
now properly listed.
- After a time zone is set, don't show the option 'No time zone set' any
more.
- Change the label to 'no time zone set'
- Update the help text to 'time zone' instead of 'timezone'.
- Don't allow strings to be sent as arguments. The mixup with
lists/tuples could be dangerous.
- Don't escape arguments. subprocess.Popen takes care that arguments
are passed on nicely to the actions.
- Update tests.
