--------------------------
Summary: Proposal to remove catalog's "Template Path Prefix"
Key: OFBIZ-4931
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4931
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Bug
Components: product
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Wai
In reference to the posting,
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Proposal-to-remove-catalog-s-quot-Template-Path-Prefix-quot-field-from-user-interface-td4633296.html
http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProdCatalog?prodCatalogId=DemoCatalog
It seems that the code blindly prepends the "Template Path Prefix" value to the
category's "Detail Screen" field resulting in a file path format that would
cause an exception.
Hence, if a catalog's "Template Path Prefix" is "zzz" and a category's "Detail
Screen" is "somedetailscreen", the resulting screen that ofbiz looks for is
"/zzzsomedetailscreen". Which ofbiz would not be able to locate based on the
format of the screen location. Hence, cause an exception.
If a catalog's "Template Path Prefix" is "zzz" and a category's "Detail Screen"
is "component://ecommerce/widget/CatalogScreens.xml#somedetailscreen", the
resulting screen that ofbiz looks for is
"/zzzcomponent://ecommerce/widget/CatalogScreens.xml#somedetailscreen". Which
ofbiz would not be able to located due to the improper format. Hence cause an
exception.
Since this code never worked since 2006 when it was first placed into the svn
repository. I don't think anyone has made use of it since.
I propose to remove the catalog's "Template Path Prefix" field from the
catalog's user interface and assoc code to reduce the confusion.
