Wai updated OFBIZ-4931:
-----------------------
    Attachment: OFBIZ-4931.patch

Regarding Content Path Prefix.
No changes were made for this. Even though it is not multitenant friendly.

Regarding Template Path Prefix. Depending on the productType of the product in 
question, the template(eg. screen name) can come in 2 forms.
1) screen name only (eg. productdetail)
2) fully qualified screen name (eg. 
component://ecommerce/widget/CatalogScreens.xml#productdetail
Code was modified accordingly to prepend the prefix string to the screen name 
for both cases.

> 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.
> Regarding a catalog's "Content Path Prefix" field, it also exhibits the same 
> flaw. That of blindly prepending this field.  This field is generally used to 
> specify the product images to be shown in the ecommerce component.
> When this field is empty, the generated image url in ecommerce is shown below 
> (note that it is using "image" webapp context):
> /images/products/ENCHILADAS/small.png
> If you were to specify "/zzz" for "Content Path Prefix", the resulting url 
> for the generated image tag is shown below (note that it is using "zzz" 
> webapp context):
> /zzz/images/products/ENCHILADAS/small.png
> As you can see.  "Content Path Prefix" specifies a "zzz" webapp context with 
> a subdirectory "image".  I doubt this was the intent of the field.  The 
> question is, where exactly are you supposed to place this field value? 
> I propose to remove the catalog's "Template Path Prefix" field from the 
> catalog's user interface and assoc code to reduce the confusion.
