Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-12918: ----------------------------------------- Yes I thought about that afterward, better wait indeed, not a big deal anyway > Move from hard-code menu location to parameterized > -------------------------------------------------- > > Key: OFBIZ-12918 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-12918 > Project: OFBiz > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: accounting > Reporter: Pierre Smits > Assignee: Jacques Le Roux > Priority: Major > > Customization is a key aspect of the OFBiz (Open For Business) platform, > providing businesses with a robust and adaptable base to customize their > enterprise software solutions according to their unique operational > requirements. > The *Menus.xml file of a component, essential for designing user interfaces > that are both intuitive and tailored to the specific roles and tasks of its > users, plays a significant role in this context, as referenced within screen > widgets and Freemarker templates. > However, as customizations and the project's source code evolve over time, > the likelihood of encountering merge conflicts increases significantly, > especially when attempting to incorporate customizations alongside ongoing > bug fixes and enhancements from the project. > To improve the appeal of OFbiz and the developer experience, it is > recommended to shift from fixed menu locations to a parameterized approach in > our components and plugins. This change would enable developers to more > seamlessly incorporate a 'custom' menu, facilitating the integration of > project updates. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
