Re: Can't Approve Orders with service products

[Mridul Pathak]

 Enrique,
According to my understanding, Digital as well as Service products are
the non-shippable products.  Hence whenever you create an order for them
they are directly fulfilled (payment is captured as well) and the status is
set to COMPLETE by default.  You need not to first create an order, approve
it and then set it to complete status.  This type of flow is followed for
Physical Products where, first the order is created, then approved and
finally shipped (COMPLETED) based on the Inventory available.
Also a completed Order can never be set back to approved status.  This
is against business logic hence such functionality is restricted in OFBiz
using StatusValidChange entity.

Re: Catalog -- Stores -- Emails

[Mridul Pathak]

Heidi,
The screen you have specified here represents Email Settings for your
product store.  Here are the answers to your questions.

1)  *Body Screen Location:* Here you specify the Component Uri location for
the screen-widget which contains the template for your email body and will
be renered in your email.

2) *Attachment Screen Location (XSL-FO):*  Here you specify the Component
Uri location for the screen-widget which contains the template for your
email attachment (pdf) and will be sent as an attachment in your email.

3) If you want the system to send emails than you must need to change the
value of *mail.notifications.enabled* property to *Y* in *general.properties
* file.

Re: How to use event to send session parameter

[Mridul Pathak]

There can be two cases:
1) In the request-map you are using Java Engine.  In this case of a Java
Event you can get the session object from a request object available to you
in the event by useing *getSession()* method on request object.  Now you can
get all your required session infromation from the session object.
There are lots of examples that you can find in OFBiz for this approach.

2) In the request-map you are using Service engine, and in the service
definition you are using engine type of Java.  In this case session object
is not available to you, but it can be made availabel by adding an IN
attribute to your service definition in the following way: .
Now you can get this session object in your Java Service from the
context map in the following way:
HttpSession session = (HttpSession)context.get("session");

I think this way you can access the session information.

Re: Controller Entry related to include other application controller.

[Mridul Pathak]

That was a really awesome explaination from David.  I too agree with the
Rishi's point here.  I would like to add one more point in this discussion.
If we want to use a couple of request from other controller then instead of
including that controller we can make use of inter-application request call
functionality in OFBiz.  This exists in both, form-widgets and ftl's.  Like
for example, in ftl's I have seen and used call's to *
/content/control/ViewSimpleContent*, here we didn't included controller of *
Content* component and have reused the request from its controller as well.
I think this way we can call requests from other components as well.  This
can solve both the problems at times, i.e. you won't need to include another
controller, and also no need to define a duplicate request in your
controller.  And the concept of reusability is sustaines as well.

Re: POS - Epson TM-T88III installation Where are the JARs?

[Branden Strickland]

Jacques,

That page was a huge amount of help.  Unfortunately I'm still stuck at one
particular par that I think you may at least (with your knowledge of how
JAVA works).

I'm still getting the "Service does not exist in loaded JCL registry" error.


Can you please shed some light on the following.

I think it may have to do with my jpos.xml config and / or my
epsonJposService18*.jar files.

1) In th example (I realize they'll be a bit different depending on the
version of ADK and your specific printer.) but in my jpos.xml entry I have



the class path is so much different than the example.  My question is
this.   How do I follow this path back to confirm?  I know in ofbiz (where I
actually learned how to follow these paths) that it's all in the "src" files
and you just follow the path org.ofbiz.pos etc. etc.  How do I follow the
JPOS entry?  I can't find anything to confirm if I need to change the
uposcommon to jpos180 (like in the instructions that you pointed me to).

2)  I still can't for the life of me find the 2 jars except where I found
them before.  I feel like I should be able to build them but I don't have a
build file ANYWHERE in my Epson ADK directory.   If there should be, than
that MAY be my problem!! ;)

as always,

Thanks guys!

Clarify invoice status 'ready for posting'

[Enrique Ruibal A.]

I entered a 'manual' sales invoice, went directly to invoice menu in 
accounting module. I selected any product e.g. GZ-2644 and set status of 
invoice to 'ready'.


Then I go and check the accounting postings and they seem to have been 
correctly set:


Y 	ACTUAL 	SALES_INVOICE 	2008-03-23 19:18:12.596 	2008-03-23 
19:18:12.781 	  	  	Sales Invoice 	CI6 	  	  	  	  	  	10007 	1 
40 	GZ-2644 	C 	38.4 	USD 	Company 	  	40 	SALES 	REVENUE 	  
AES_NOT_RECONCILED 	_NA_
Y 	ACTUAL 	SALES_INVOICE 	2008-03-23 19:18:12.596 	2008-03-23 
19:18:12.781 	  	  	Sales Invoice 	CI6 	  	  	  	  	  	10007 	2 
12 	  	D 	38.4 	USD 	Company 	ACCOUNTS_RECEIVABLE 	12 	ACCOUNTS 
RECEIVABLE 	CURRENT_ASSET 	DemoCustomer 	AES_NOT_RECONCILED 	_NA_



My question is ¿Why does the status of this invoice appears as 'Ready 
for Posting' when the document has already been (successfuly) posted?

Re: 1200 variants with 6 feature types

[Manuel Desdin]

Hi Hans:
Try a different approach, AJAX maybe?
The html output is too big probably and in any case no browser will  
handle so big select field, at least not fast!

Hope this helps,
Manuel.

Re: 1200 variants with 6 feature types

[Scott Gray]

You could consider breaking the virtual product up into multiple products.
In the demo data, you could in theory create a single widget virtual product
to encompass all the other widgets as variants but practically it's much
better to use categories for this and then present the user with only a few
options to get from the chosen virtual to the variant.

I haven't looked at the code for ages but there is a good chance every
single variant is looked up individually before the page is displayed.

Scott

What is meant by:

What do i have to fill in?

Also if i select "registration" for the email, will the system send

It seems this doesn't work by me!

Re: 1200 variants with 6 feature types

[David E Jones]

Usually when working with clients the distinction I prefer between  
virtual/variant and configurable products is that with virtual/variant  
products they exist in advance and need to be inventoried, and with  
configurable products they will be built-to-order from a common set of  
parts that are in inventory.


As for this scale, who knows... this sounds like a case where a  
profiling tool or some manual timing code here and there to determine  
the main performance problem is needed.
