-

Setting the through date on party expiration is default behaviour and part of 
GRC protocols. Having functions available for common order management officers 
to delete such records (even if added accidentally)undermines such protocols. 
Deletion of accidental records can always be done through functions in 
Webtools/entitymanagement.

Is it necessary to create a QuoteParty to replace QuoteRole as CustRequestParty 
was created to replace CustRequestRole or can fromDate and thruDate fields just 
be added?  Are new entities created whenever extensions entail changes to 
primary key which would be the case for the fromDate?  The expire functionality 
provided in OFBIZ-6463 cannot be implemented for this issue until this is 
resolved.

Re: Possible Documentation and help solutions - DITA

2015-06-06 Thread Taher Alkhateeb
Hi Paul, 

I am starting to use DITA and really like it. But I can see your point 
regarding people being put off. It might be in a sense a bit too powerful for 
OFBiz and it takes a while to wrap your head around the concepts like maps, 
topics, etc ... I'm on the fence, maybe leaning slightly towards keeping 
DocBook, but if a PoC shows how DITA can shine, then why not!

Hi Sharan, 

My suggestion is much more modest than that. I think there's no need to 
replace existing DocBook content, or to totally change the DocBook process 
we have. 

All I am suggesting is that people consider AsciiDoc as a first step when 
authoring help information. If they prefer to work with DocBook directly, 
fine. There are tools to transform AsciDoc into DocBook XML, such as 
AsciiDoctor (http://asciidoctor.org/), so in effect (correctly written) 
AsciiDoc *is* DocBook. 

I'll repeat the reasons why I like AsciiDoc. It's more human-readable than 
XML. You can write your documentation in any text editor. Both of these are 
important. In contrast, requiring XML and some more specialised tool is a 
barrier to entry, so less people could and would participate in documenting 
OFBiz. 

When I last looked into DITA quite a few years ago, it seemed to be a 
heavyweight thing that only made sense if you wanted multiple destinations 
and were willing to invest in proprietary tools like Framemaker, Oxygen or 
Arbortext. I am perfectly willing to believe that DITA is more complete 
than DocBook, and would allow better documentation, if only anyone was 
willing to invest the time, trouble and money to be able to use it. 

I'm pleased to hear there's now DITA support for Eclipse. Eclipse is not my 
favourite IDE, but I could be persuaded to use it. How much better would it 
be to say to potential contributors that they can use their favourite IDE or 
text editor, whatever that is? 

If everybody else loves DITA, I would work with it. But I worry that it will 
put many people off. 

Thanks 

Paul Foxworthy

 Confluence is the Apache approved tools for wiki so we still need to work
 within this constraint for now. In any case – I think we firstly need to
 do some review of the all the documentation we have before we start
 structuring it.

Hi Sharan,

There is a free tool to import DocBook into Confluence :
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.jboss.labs.confluence.plugin.docbook_import

There's also a commercial one to go in the other direction:
https://www.k15t.com/software/scroll-docbook-exporter/overview . *If* we
wanted to use the wiki as a place to develop help, we could ask the vendor
if they were willing to donate their product to an open source project.

Cheers

Currently in the branch the two bootstrap styles (Basic and yellow 'Sunrise) 
are entwined. The effect is that when changes are implemented in one theme they 
alter the user experience in the other theme.

It would be better to disentangle the 2 styles into separate themes.

 Project: OFBiz
  Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sharan Foga

 Jira created based on the steps suggested by Taher as follows:
 - First, we attempt to fix whatever is wrong in DocBook at the moment. If you 
 can share exactly what you spotted then this would save us a lot of time in 
 trying to dig to the problem. So a repeat process to identify the bugs from 
 you would be great.
 - Second, we decide on a category structure for the sections of the 
 documentation if we do not like the existing one
 - We also introduce or enforce a workflow that mandates an update of the 
 documentation on each JIRA that affects functionality that requires 
 documentation. For example, if we add or modify a screen in the party 
 component, then we must provide the documentation for that screen before 
 closing the JIRA for example.
 - As a last step we decide on the appropriate technology to move forward.

Is the reported issue only related to the search/find screen regarding products

Christian Carlow commented on OFBIZ-6456:
-

The patch may need to be revised again to better handle the order in which 
hyperlinks appear.  For example, at ordermgr/control/requestitems, the 
custRequestItemSeqId hyperlink gets rendered at the end of the form/grid list 
but before it was the first field to appear.  A workaround is to set 
custRequestItemSeqId as display and add a dedicated edit button but this 
would probably have to be done for various ItemSeq forms.  Extending form 
widgets to allow overriding the default field type sequence rendering  with 
something like field-seq attribute may be a solution.

 IMO, form widgets are generally easier to interpret when the field types are 
 sorted by type but this has to be done manually using sort-order.  I 
 propose improving auto-fields-entity to sort fields by type by default such 
 as text, then dates, then numbers, etc.

 This functionality would provide a way for OFBIZ-6456 to ignore the default

Sharan Foga commented on OFBIZ-6450:


Hi Taher

I've been looking at the help and all the component documentation help files 
seem to use the docbook section (recursive section) tag. I can't find any 
chapter tags or even the book tag in any of the files I've looked at. There 
must be a book tag somewhere! 

When I was doing the HR documentation – (from the Webhelp addon) it had been 
written as a complete docbook book with chapters, sect1, sect2 etc.

- I had tried to copy it into the HELP_HR.xml and it didnt work (i.e wouldnt 
display)
- I also tried to copy some of the sect1 and sect2 and that didnt work either 
(i.e wouldnt display)

I think these could be explained by not being allowed to nest any chapters or 
sect1 and sect2 tags into a section tag.

- I also tried to use some of the text formatting commands just as a line 
somewhere within the section 
eg.  paraemphasis role=bold Nodes In the Company Tree/emphasis/para 

but this didnt work either. The text was displayed but it wasn't displayed in 
bold.

I also tried some of the mediaobject and screenshot tags and they didnt 
work either.

The only tags that seem to work within a section tag are the following:

title
para
itemizedlist

If I had to guess I would say that it sounds like our docbook structure is 
built only on recursive section tags which could explain the limitations I've 
experienced.

Re: References for DITA as a tool for on-line help

2015-06-06 Thread Jacques Le Roux

OK DITA seems powerful but not an easy tool to work with (not only because of 
XML verbosity but also tags and concepts to learn)
Sincerely the examples in 
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture frightens 
me a bit (and remembers me how verbose is XML)
We would need to convince the community it's the gith tool for OFBiz 
documentation... and more...

Also I wonder if we simply don't know Docbook enough to be really able to 
compare them...
What would be the cost of moving from DocBook to DITA in OFBiz?

Is http://www.dita-ot.org/ of value?
Found this by change https://doconv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features.html
With http://www.dita-ot.org/2.0/readme/dita2docbook.html this would allow to mix tools (I think we should go that way, but have a tool of reference in 
OFBiz, still to choose if we don't keep Docbook)


Jacques

Le 05/06/2015 16:13, Ron Wheeler a écrit :

I have found another great reference for planning a DITA project in order to 
maximize the possibilities for reuse.
http://www.stilo.com/article-dita-reuse-conversion-together/

It is useful reading if you want reverse engineer some ideas about where the 
big benefits will come from DITA.
For example, it talks about creating a warehouse for conrefs where is recommends 
writing fragments conrefs that are included by name.
It suggests that these should be used for

 * GUI objects, fields, buttons, icons
 * Frequently used steps, with step results and info
 * All your notes and warnings
 * Pre-requisites that are commonly mentioned, like having
   administrative privileges
 * Boilerplate - legal, copyright, notices,

When you think about each of these as a multilingual fragment that can be 
called in by referencing a key, you can see that this
a) reduces translation - translate the key once and every place it is 
referenced has the translation done
b) improves consistency
c) makes customization a lot simpler - if you have changed a field label or button label, you only have to change the conref once and it is changed 
in your documentation.


There is also a discussion on using keys.
If we define variables such as version numbers, it makes it easier to ensure that versions (Java, Tomcat, OFBiz, etc.) are consistent everywhere 
with a single variable to change.

If URLs are keys, you only have to change one key when a web page or file moves.
Keys can also be used to select or exclude content which will make it easier for System Integrators to prepare manuals related to different 
configurations - include or exclude e-commerce, control industry specific content, etc.


It has specific ideas about how to plan and execute a conversion.

Ron

Affects Versions: Bootstrap theme
Reporter: Pierre Smits
Assignee: Pierre Smits

 Currently in the branch the two bootstrap styles (Basic and yellow 'Sunrise) 
 are entwined. The effect is that when changes are implemented in one theme 
 they alter the user experience in the other theme.
 It would be better to disentangle the 2 styles into separate themes.

QuoteRoles allows for delete and hasn't been replaced by an entity such as 
QuoteParty to allow for expiry so it also breaks the GRC protocols you

 Docbook and OFBIz Online Help
 -

 Key: OFBIZ-6450
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6450
 Project: OFBiz
  Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sharan Foga

 Jira created based on the steps suggested by Taher as follows:
 - First, we attempt to fix whatever is wrong in DocBook at the moment. If you 
 can share exactly what you spotted then this would save us a lot of time in 
 trying to dig to the problem. So a repeat process to identify the bugs from 
 you would be great.
 - Second, we decide on a category structure for the sections of the 
 documentation if we do not like the existing one
 - We also introduce or enforce a workflow that mandates an update of the 
 documentation on each JIRA that affects functionality that requires 
 documentation. For example, if we add or modify a screen in the party 
 component, then we must provide the documentation for that screen before 
 closing the JIRA for example.
 - As a last step we decide on the appropriate technology to move forward.

Reporter: Pierre Smits

 Currently, when using the boot-strap theme the user has to click on the + 
 symbol beside the clickable 'Applications' to get the drop-down menu of 
 available applications. And the 'Applications' clickable doesn't do anything. 
 However, it would deliver a better user experience when the drop-down menu is 
 presented when the user clicks the 'Applications' clickable.

Hi Sharan,

My suggestion is much more modest than that. I think there's no need to
replace existing DocBook content, or to totally change the DocBook process
we have.

All I am suggesting is that people consider AsciiDoc as a first step when
authoring help information. If they prefer to work with DocBook directly,
fine. There are tools to transform AsciDoc into DocBook XML, such as
AsciiDoctor (http://asciidoctor.org/), so in effect (correctly written)
AsciiDoc *is* DocBook.

I'll repeat the reasons why I like AsciiDoc. It's more human-readable than
XML. You can write your documentation in any text editor. Both of these are
important. In contrast, requiring XML and some more specialised tool is a
barrier to entry, so less people could and would participate in documenting
OFBiz.


That's exactly the point indeed, thanks to stress that Paul.


When I last looked into DITA quite a few years ago, it seemed to be a
heavyweight thing that only made sense if you wanted multiple destinations


This seems to answer to my question just asked to Ron on the user ML. So you think Docbook (more aimed to create book when DITA is more of online help 
kind, I read) or AsciiDoc are not able to OOTB deliver in this way?



and were willing to invest in proprietary tools like Framemaker, Oxygen or
Arbortext. I am perfectly willing to believe that DITA is more complete
than DocBook, and would allow better documentation, if only anyone was
willing to invest the time, trouble and money to be able to use it.

I'm pleased to hear there's now DITA support for Eclipse. Eclipse is not my
favourite IDE, but I could be persuaded to use it. How much better would it
be to say to potential contributors that they can use their favourite IDE or
text editor, whatever that is?

If everybody else loves DITA, I would work with it. But I worry that it will
put many people off.


That's the point we need to clarify...

Jacques

Hi Paul,

I am starting to use DITA and really like it. But I can see your point 
regarding people being put off. It might be in a sense a bit too powerful for 
OFBiz and it takes a while to wrap your head around the concepts like maps, 
topics, etc ... I'm on the fence, maybe leaning slightly towards keeping 
DocBook, but if a PoC shows how DITA can shine, then why not!

OK DITA seems powerful but not an easy tool to work with (not only because of 
XML verbosity but also tags and concepts to learn)
Sincerely the examples in 
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture frightens 
me a bit (and remembers me how verbose is XML)
We would need to convince the community it's the gith tool for OFBiz 
documentation... and more...

Also I wonder if we simply don't know Docbook enough to be really able to 
compare them...
What would be the cost of moving from DocBook to DITA in OFBiz?

Is http://www.dita-ot.org/ of value?
Found this by change https://doconv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/features.html
With http://www.dita-ot.org/2.0/readme/dita2docbook.html this would allow to mix tools (I think we should go that way, but have a tool of reference 
in OFBiz, still to choose if we don't keep Docbook)

Actually the question is how much these converters are reliable... Only a POC 
can demonstrate...

Le 05/06/2015 16:13, Ron Wheeler a écrit :

I have found another great reference for planning a DITA project in order to 
maximize the possibilities for reuse.
http://www.stilo.com/article-dita-reuse-conversion-together/

It is useful reading if you want reverse engineer some ideas about where the 
big benefits will come from DITA.
For example, it talks about creating a warehouse for conrefs where is recommends 
writing fragments conrefs that are included by name.
It suggests that these should be used for

 * GUI objects, fields, buttons, icons
 * Frequently used steps, with step results and info
 * All your notes and warnings
 * Pre-requisites that are commonly mentioned, like having
   administrative privileges
 * Boilerplate - legal, copyright, notices,

When you think about each of these as a multilingual fragment that can be 
called in by referencing a key, you can see that this
a) reduces translation - translate the key once and every place it is 
referenced has the translation done
b) improves consistency
c) makes customization a lot simpler - if you have changed a field label or button label, you only have to change the conref once and it is changed 
in your documentation.


There is also a discussion on using keys.
If we define variables such as version numbers, it makes it easier to ensure that versions (Java, Tomcat, OFBiz, etc.) are consistent everywhere 
with a single variable to change.

If URLs are keys, you only have to change one key when a web page or file moves.
Keys can also be used to select or exclude content which will make it easier for System Integrators to prepare manuals related to different 
configurations - include or exclude e-commerce, control industry specific content, etc.


It has specific ideas about how to plan and execute a conversion.

 Postal Address PDF Formatter Screen Problems
 

 Key: OFBIZ-6444
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6444
 Project: OFBiz
  Issue Type: Bug
  Components: party
Affects Versions: Release Branch 12.04, Release Branch 13.07, Release 
 Branch 14.12, Trunk
Reporter: Forrest Rae
 Attachments: OFBIZ-6444.patch


 A couple updates are needed to the postalAddressPdfFormatter screen:
 First, the screen template is set to use the HTML renderer which results in 
 this error in the log:
 [java] 2015-06-03 13:44:53,400 |0.0.0.0-8009-exec-13 |ModelScreenWidget   
   |W| In platform-dependent could not find template for xsl-fo, using the 
 one for html.
 Second, the various PostalAddress.fo.ftl files do not escape XML 
 properly, and addresses with an  in them end up causing a FreeMarker 
 template error.

 IMO, form widgets are generally easier to interpret when the field types are

 propose improving auto-fields-entity to sort fields by type by default such

 Have clickable 'Applications' present the drop-down menu of applications
 

 Key: OFBIZ-6324
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6324
 Project: OFBiz
  Issue Type: Sub-task
Affects Versions: Bootstrap theme
Reporter: Pierre Smits
Assignee: Pierre Smits

 Currently, when using the boot-strap theme the user has to click on the + 
 symbol beside the clickable 'Applications' to get the drop-down menu of 
 available applications. And the 'Applications' clickable doesn't do anything. 
 However, it would deliver a better user experience when the drop-down menu is 
 presented when the user clicks the 'Applications' clickable.

[jira] [Updated] (OFBIZ-6462) Redesign ordermgr/control/EditQuoteRole to resemble ordermgr/control/requestroles

Christian Carlow updated OFBIZ-6462:

Attachment: OFBIZ-6462_2.patch

This patch replaces QuoteRole with QuoteParty as was done for CustRequestRole 
with CustRequestParty.  QuoteRole was moved to 
order/entitydef/entitymodel_old.xml as OldQuoteRole.  The roleTypeId dropdown 
was limited to the same options as available for cust requests instead of 
displaying all roles.  The copy quote, create order from quote services, and 
ecommerce app were also changed to handle the new entity.

The upgrade service migrateQuoteRole has not been created yet.  Does it need to 
be included before the patch can be applied and the issue closed or can it be 
handled by another issue?

 The quote role form requires the create button to unnecessarily be clicked 
 before a new quote can be created and all roles are included in the dropdown 
 rather than those only relevant for the quote.

Thanks for the review Adrian.

This issue was primarily created to make find forms appear cleaner but it does 
effect input fields as well.  I thought it would be easier for users to 
interpret forms if they saw types such as date fields grouped together in the 
same area instead of spread out throughout the form in whatever order they were 
defined in entitymodel.  I'm trying to automate the cleanup of various forms 
that employ auto-fields-entity and auto-fields-service that otherwise 
require using sort-order or changing the order in which fields are defined in 
model entity which could require a lot of work.

I see your point about most relevant fields appearing first speeding up data 
entry.  Many entities have typeId fields which are typically the second most 
important fields but my code would render them at the end since they are 
commonly rendered as dropdowns.

I'll probably close the issue for now as won't fix.  If ever needed I suppose 
it could be activated globally with a setting or with an attribute extension 
for auto-fields-entity or auto-fields-service.

 This could be done by adding ModelFormFieldBuilder.modelField as new member 
 for tracking the entire ModelField object or if thats overkill adding 
 ModelFormFieldBuilder.modelFieldType for just the type.
 This functionality would provide a way for OFBIZ-6456 to ignore the default 
 field sequence sort for id type fields that are hyperlinks which typically 
 appear as beginning fields.

Adrian Crum commented on OFBIZ-6456:


I don't agree that sorting input fields by type is easier to interpret. From my 
perspective, fields that are most relevant should appear first, followed by 
fields that are less relevant, and then fields that are least relevant should 
appear last. That approach allows a user to enter only relevant data, and then 
skip the rest of the form.
