Pierre Smits commented on OFBIZ-13049:
--------------------------------------
Hi Jacques,
Thank you for your reaction.
{quote}I re-read the comments above where Daniel and Michael were not
enthusiast.

Regarding the feedback from Daniel, I repeat what I commented earlier:
{quote}I am just utilising what is available OOTB. implemented and reviewed by
quite a few contributors in the period between 2008 and 2010 (amongst other
Bruno Busco, David Jones and even you) under ticket OFBIZ-1999 and follow-ups.
{quote}
I am *not* introducing different technologies or concepts alien to what is
already available in the OFBiz. As for
{quote} Introducing another layer of indirection via the database will reduce
the navigability of the UI further.

We use data everywhere to showcase the flexibility and usability of OFBiz. The
user experience (the appeal of OFBiz as an Open Source business management and
e-commerce solution) is dependent on data.
Similarly the customization appeal and experience is affected by hard coded
aspects. Everywhere we have that, we make it challenging for adopters to apply
and maintain their customizations without disrupting ongoing updates from the
OFBiz community. Having application main pages displaying what is most
important through PortalPortlet and associated records facilitate just that
flexibility and adaptability. I regard this ticket equally beneficial to
adopters and their developers as OFBIZ-12928.
{quote}Would you mind to assume this task before we continue with subtasks here?

Thank you for the suggestion. I will keep it in mind for future consideration.
For now, I'm focused on prioritizing straightforward improvements that
significantly benefit both the user and developer experience.
Participating in an open source project is as much about enhancing the user and
developer experience through collaboration as it is about refining the
codebase. I truly value our positive collaborations I've had in this project
and look forward to more in the future.
This means that I don't just create new tickets for myself to work on; I also
do it to encourage fellow contributors to offer valuable feedback on the matter
at hand and to engage in the development process.

> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ALL APPLICATIONS
> Reporter: Pierre Smits
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: CommonPortletData.xml
>
>
> Currently the OFBiz product has configurable Main pages in applications
> Accounting, Order, SFA, and plugin MyPortal. Unfortunately, none in the
> community felt the urge to implement the concept further in other
> applications.
> Having a configurable Main page of an application improves both the appeal of
> OFBiz to (potential) adopters and their users, and to developers.
> With a configurable Main page, developers have less screens to consider when
> doing customisation, while at the same time trying to stay in sync with
> changes from the project.
