Re: Template in Content module

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi David,

From: "David Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

What is it that you are trying to implement Jacques? In other words what sort of requirement do you have or feature are you trying 
to support?

The primary need is for a client. He will need to use the content component in order to provide reusable blocks modifiable by people 
from his company and used in an eCommerce site. Most of the layouts are already defined. But the final client has not yet completly 
finalised his choice (in term of blocks and their contents, etc.). So having the content component working is mandatory.

Or are you just trying to clean up the Content Manager? There is a lot of stuff in the Content Manager that either doesn't work, 
or that is for an unclear purpose, and personally I'd like to see a redesign of most of it and eliminate a lot of what is there, 
possibly including the ListLayout and related pages...

The List Layout purpose is unclear. It seems to show only Templates created with the TEMPLATE_MASTER type but I did not digg depp 
yet.

In other words most stuff is not grounded in any sort of requirements or trying to enable specific user actions and that makes the 
tools kind of difficult to use, and even more difficult to try to define and fix...

I'm not able to cope with it this week but I guess that will be one of my 1st 
August tasks...

Thanks for your comments, I will let you know my progression as soon it will 
begin.

Hi,

I would like to make this
https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/content/control/ListLayout more clear (and
the content module at large as a
client would  like to use it in French)
So from ManagerReferenceContent.pdf p.114 I decided to change "List" to
"List Own Created Layouts" but the screen has changed since
this page was written and I'm not sure it's ok since it seems there are 3
concepts mixed here :
Template
Layout
Content Data Ressource

Could someone (Al?) give me some light before I really dive in, please ?

Thanks

Jacques

Hi,

I'm looking closerly at the Content application. I find the List and
Find buttons very confusing. You understand when you use
Find, but what is the List button used for ?

I had a look at the ManagerReferenceContent.pdf file, but I'm sorry to
say that it does not help a lot. Maybe because there is a
notion of Layout and Content Data Ressource mixed here ?

Also when I use the clip column I always get this error

Erreur lors de l'appel de l'événement:
org.ofbiz.webapp.event.EventHandlerException: Problems processing event:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Could not find resource bundle
[ContentErrorUiLabel] in the locale [fr] (Could not find
resource bundle [ContentErrorUiLabel] in the locale [fr])

Is this because something is missing in French, or ? (BTW what for is
used the clip feature ? :o)


Also just got this one, and sorry but have no time to look at it...


https://localhost:8443/content/control/EditLayoutUrl?contentIdTo=TEMPLATE_MASTER&mapKey=&contentId=CMSS_DEMO_HOME&drDataResourceId=CMSS_DEMO_HOME

org.ofbiz.widget.screen.ScreenRenderException: Error rendering screen

Actually I got plenty of other errors. Do the content data need a
cleanup ?

Thanks

Jacques
