I do the following in such situation.
1. Create new screens in the widget folder, generally copying similar
screen from the e-commerce.
2. Modify the required screen to include ftl in my application. It
removes the reference to e-commerce ftl file.
3. Add a view map, generally copying similar view-map from e-commerce
and modify it to point to newly created screen in my application instead
of e-commerce.
Copying similar screens from e-commerce helps me re-using most of the
action stuff (bsh, field definition etc).
Thanks,

Hi,
as long as I go deeper and deeper in ofbiz I can appreciate the very good
design of this application.
Now I need to make a my own eshop module and I want to be sure I am using
all the re-use mechanism you have designed.
- I have created an eshop application under the hot-deploy, here I have all
my data files using the "ext" reader, with the data file I have defined my
show, website, facilities, catalogs and categories.
- In my eshop application, I have the controller.xml file that (as seen in
ecommerce clone example) includes the ecommerce application controller with
the line
<include
location="component://ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/WEB-INF/controller.xml"/>
- In my eshop application there is also the images folder with a modified
copy of the ecommerce.css file and all required gif
Now I need little changes in some of the .ftl files. I want not to modify
the original files of the ecommerce application so that I can better follow
the development and update without conflicts.
Is there a mechanism that let me have one or more additional .ftl files in
my application and all standard .ftl under the original ecommerce?
For example:
I have changed the minilastviewedcategories.ftl. I would like to have a
modified copy of this file in my own application.
I can create a copy in my application but in order to make ofbiz using it I
need to local copy also all the other files in the chain that are:
CatalogScreens.xml, CommonScreens.xml and the controller.xml
Could anyone make some light for me on this?
Thank you
-Bruno
