Re: Please Migrate Apache OFBiz forums to Nabble2

[Ashish Vijaywargiya]

Hello Hugo,

Thanks for your quick turn around on this.

I would be more then happy to assist Jacques in managing stuff at nabble.
If it is doable and not too much difficult then can you please add me as a
*second* Moderator in Nabble for OFBiz project?

Thanks!

Re: Searches done by default

[Scott Gray]

The order list screen shows recent orders already without having to  
search.  For the party manager, yes it might nice for about 5 minutes  
but then after that you'll have 1000+ customers, suppliers, employees  
etc. and showing the first page will provide absolutely no benefit  
whatsoever (unless by pure dumb luck the record you wanted is present  
within the first < 2% of the results).


Showing a no condition search will never save you several clicks, it  
will always save you exactly one click (the search button).


To solve your last point about confusion with no results being shown,  
ideally the results table wouldn't display unless a search has  
actually been performed.  That is a change I would be +1 for.

I think we should definitively introduce a token (+x) to pass from the command

There is a patch that fixes that isue:

You will have to change various ports in framework/base/config

You may want to change the bind address from 0.0.0.0 to the address of a
particular interface in ofbiz-containers.xml
and then change various ports for the connectors in that file.  (For
instance, ajp/8009, bsh -9990, and http/https (8080, 8443).)

I think there's also a JNDI port (1099) and a change here probably requires
corresponding changes elsewhere.

Personally, I think it's a better bet to use Apache as the front-end and
redirect on a per-URL basis to a single appserver config.
There are many benefits from using mod-proxy+mod-rewrite or  AJP.

We have several test / devel configurations of OFBiz, and use Xen VM's on
CentOS to manage them.  Then it's just a simple
ProxyPass / Location config in Apache to give them outside names, and we can
do stuff like host-based authentication, and it's easy to move things
around.

[Jacques Le Roux]

David,

So thank you for this objective point of view and positive explanation!

From: "David E Jones" 


I think I understand the disconnect. Based on that idea it makes sense  
that you are frustrated.


No, there is no "Board of Directors" (except the ASF Board, but that's  
still different). There is a Project Management Committee (PMC), but  
the PMC is only responsible for general administration like voting on  
new committers and PMC members, voting on releases and other major  
project activities, and when necessary vote to resolve conflicts 
(should be avoided whenever possible, and it usually is). In no way is  
the PMC any sort of top-down management group. OFBiz has always been  
this way, and the practice has become more formal now that the project  
is part of the Apache Software Foundation. For more ASF details about  
the PMC, please see:


http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#structure

In any case, the interesting part of a community driven project like  
OFBiz is that the roles are defined differently. For example, you  
mentioned in another email that you consider yourself an "outsider"  
and in reality no one but you decides if you are an outsider or an  
insider, and actually with so many different ways to participate those  
terms don't mean much. In my opinion, you are very much an insider.


In a traditional top-down organization there are people with power who  
tell other people what to do. The others do what they are told because  
their motivation is influenced by money, fear, hope... or usually some  
combination of these things.


A community-driven open source project, like OFBiz, is a purely  
voluntary organization. Anyone can volunteer to become a "boss" and  
try to get other people to do things. The trick is that you can't be a  
"boss" in the normal meaning of the term, ie you can't just tell other  
people what to do. The approaches that work here are collaboration and  
to some extent influence through the power of ideas (and sometimes the  
power of personality and position, but in a group of people like this  
that usually causes problems instead of being helpful, even if not  
intentionally used as people assume you are using it).


And so, we have the fun opportunity to work with others in a purely  
voluntary way. We don't get a chance to do that much. Sometimes  
companies work in that way to some extent, but usually managers try to  
get around the difficult problems that arise when people believe they  
are interacting on a voluntary basis. With government unfortunately  
things are very much not voluntary. Perhaps they have been in  
different times and places, but I'm not aware of any government that  
exists like that now.

Helpful, actionable comments.

I'm just a little discouraged at how little testing is done with

insider, and actually with so many different ways to participate those  
terms don't mean much. In my opinion, you are very much an insider.


In a traditional top-down organization there are people with power who  
tell other people what to do. The others do what they are told because  
their motivation is influenced by money, fear, hope... or usually some  
combination of these things.


A community-driven open source project, like OFBiz, is a purely  
voluntary organization. Anyone can volunteer to become a "boss" and  
try to get other people to do things. The trick is that you can't be a  
"boss" in the normal meaning of the term, ie you can't just tell other  
people what to do. The approaches that work here are collaboration and  
to some extent influence through the power of ideas (and sometimes the  
power of personality and position, but in a group of people like this  
that usually causes problems instead of being helpful, even if not  
intentionally used as people assume you are using it).


And so, we have the fun opportunity to work with others in a purely  
voluntary way. We don't get a chance to do that much. Sometimes  
companies work in that way to some extent, but usually managers try to  
get around the difficult problems that arise when people believe they  
are interacting on a voluntary basis. With government unfortunately  
things are very much not voluntary. Perhaps they have been in  
different times and places, but I'm not aware of any government that  
exists like that now.

Helpful, actionable comments.

I'm just a little discouraged at how little testing is done with  
each new release. It seems to get worse and not better as time

Not actionable comments. One could look at the history and see who

Hi Anil,

   Conversion of form widget in FTL is not a good approach until and unless
it is not required, so I would suggest you to understand how form widgets
work,You can easily understand, just go through some example of forms.

And also read this cook book to under stand form widget

Hope it will help you.

Re: Default theme ?

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi Ruth,

Yes I already reported that please see 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2398

Maybe it's better to inform you that this theme was initially designed by Erik 
Schuessler from BrainFood and then implemented by
Ryan Foster (mostly?) at HotWax Media. BTW this information may be found at the 
bottom right of  http://ofbiz.apache.org/
So, for now, we mostly rely on their skills for this kind of things, even if 
everybody helps here and there. This was done in order
to have a more attractive UI for release 9.04. And we are all (at least I) 
thankful for that!

This theme was also applied to the wiki, there were issue also in Confluence, 
but we consider now that they are all resolved (you
may find issues in Jira by looking for Confluence for OFBiz project, check 
comments)

The theme feature on both sides (back and front ends) was introduced by Bruno 
Busco and enhanced by the team since then.

Unfortunatley a such effort was no done for the eCommerce, only Bruno gave a 
theme wich is not complete yet. I think the meain
reason is that most of the time, companies with enough means prefer to build 
their own design. And nobody has contributed a theme
because, apart small companies which keep the original design and adapt it, 
most of the time the design is totally new and unique.

Thanks for you help

Jacques

From: "Ruth Hoffman" 

Hi Jacques:
Another issue with the default theme:
Error messages are only displayed for a few seconds and then they disappear. 
For example, I just tried to add a file to the
"GZ-NEWS-1MO" product using the Catalog Manager and I got an error which was 
displayed for about 3 seconds. Not even enough time
to read the content of the error message. I know I can go to the log files and 
review error messages, but there doesn't seem to be
much point in displaying error messages within the Catalog Manager  if the user 
can't read them as they are using the application.

Re: Digital Products

[Ruth Hoffman]

Hi Alexander:
I will repeat some instructions I posted before:
One way to do this:

  Use the Content Manager application to create a "Data Resource" for
  each file. OFBiz "Data Resources" are similar to "meta-data"
  descriptions for files or other electronic media used by OFBiz.

  Use the Content Manager application to create a "Content" record for
  each file. Content records point to "Data Resources."

  Use the Catalog Manager application to create a "Product" for each
  file that is associated with the "Content" record created above.

Using the "Prepare Content" link as suggested before has not worked for 
me in the past. Perhaps it has been fixed. I haven't had time to check, 
however I just tried using it to add a file to an existing PRODUCT and 
was not successful.


If you want more information about how to use the Catalog Manager, 
please consider purchasing my new book:
"Getting Started w/Apache OFBiz The Catalog Manager". See: 
http://www.myofbiz.com for more specifics.


Regards,
Ruth

Re: Default theme ?

[Ruth Hoffman]

Hi Jacques:
I just looked at the visual theme graphic/URL on trunk release 823826 so 
that I could refresh my understanding of the various themes: [ 
https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/LookupVisualThemes]


All my comments are based on this release using Firefox on a MAC:

1) This url [https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/LookupVisualThemes] 
does not layout correctly. While the graphics show up just fine, the 
columns aren't working correctly using the default Bizness theme. So, I 
will report this as an Jira issue later today.


2) Changing the font size helps, however there is a school of thought in 
the online content world that suggests that the most important content 
on a web page should be "above the fold", meaning that the user should 
not be required to scroll down the page to find important information. 
Lots of extra space between navigation links and form submit buttons is 
more of a distraction then a help in many cases. Another problem with 
this theme and zooming (changing the font size) with the browser is that 
in some cases, content overwrites the table boundary visual borders. 
Again, forcing the user to scroll to the right or left (assuming they 
know to do that) while trying to locate important information.


3) A big problem for me with this theme is that the navigation to 
webtools applications are hidden. The user is required to pull down the 
"Applications" link and then, close it, which, unless someone already 
knows what they were doing, is not an obvious action. A better approach, 
IMHO to this is to use hovering to expose the hidden links.


These do not seem to be issues with the "Flat Grey" and original/4.x 
theme/layout.

Ruth

Re: Default theme ?

[Jacques Le Roux]

Thanks Erwan,

I'd't not say that everyone is zooming out, for the moment very few persons 
seems concerned...
So maybe we should better ask if people use Bizness Time mostly zoomed out ?

Jacques

From: "Erwan de FERRIERES" 

if everyone is zooming out the bizness theme, maybe we should thinking about 
reducing the font/etc... sizes.
Keeping the bizness time provide a more modern interface than the flat grey, 
and may be more attractive to new users.
But I'm also part of the ones who switch to bluelight or flatgrey...

Yes I agree with Chris, I prefer also to zoom out when using Bizness Time
Actually lost of the time I revert to Flat Grey, even if I try to push 
myself to use Bizness Time and Blue Light.


Did you find specific bugs in Bizness Time, Chris ?

Is there any way to revert the ecommerce site back to the one 
product listing per line layout? Not sure if the 3x3 listing is a 
result of a new theme or some other change.


Right, there is still this issue (within others...) pending. No, it's 
not a result of any theme. Maybe it's time to make a community

Ruth,

From: "Ruth Hoffman" 

Hi Jacques:
First, thanks for engaging in this discussion. As an outsider who really cares about OFBiz, I find it disheartening that the 
project as a whole does not have enough pride in ownership to at least validate basic user facing components. I understand the 
project is growing and that is a good thing. But I caution everyone, bigger (and more) is not always better.


I plenty agree. On the other hand OFBiz OOTB is plenty of stuff because it's 
intended to demonstrate and show all its possibilities.

While discouraged I'm not going to stop promoting and using OFBiz. IMHO, it is still unrivaled. These are but surface problems 
that need attention - sooner rather than later. Since I am an outsider, this list is one of the few mediums I have for voicing my 
concerns. Sometimes, however, I feel as though I'm "spitting in the wind".


Second, I applaud all the work you and others have contributed towards the betterment of the project. I continue to be amazed at 
the dedication and commitment of many of the developers - you included!


Thank you for us!

Third, I have no problem with filing Jira issues. I have filed several in the past. However, IMHO that is not going to solve this 
particular problem. Neither is going back through the commits (as David suggests) to identify the problematic code. IMHO, there is 
something fundamentally wrong possibly with the planning process or the manner in which commits are filed. I don't know.


I think Ryan answered you. Filling Jira issues is really the best way to 
progress.
Remember it's a community driven project where nobody has the power to decide 
alone.
We need to make community decisions. For that we need to organize how to make 
these decisions.

Code validation and regression testing is a complex process that needs to be addressed with some rigor if the community ever 
expects to move ahead. I am available to help in anyway I can. But, I don't see much discussion or activity in this direction.


You are welcome, if you have ideas about how to organize that.
Put your green hat on (but please don't say "I don't know", I'm sure you know 
something ;o)

As for your comment concerning the themes to use: my original comments were directed towards the online demo which, if there is a 
way to change the ecommerce product listing theme, it is not well advertised.


Right, but I believe there is currently no real alternative on the eCommerce 
side

Finally, I welcome any further discussion on quality control and testing as I really do believe that OFBiz rocks! I want to see it 
take its proper place in the world :-)


There are currently such efforts with Selenium, did you follow them ?

Thanks

Jacques

Hi Scott:
Sorry to say there isn't enough time in the day for me to report all the rendering problems I see in this release. For example, 
try adding a product to the cart and observe how the the shopping cart summary links (on the right column) under "Cart Summary" 
overlap each other. Or, attempt to do a quick checkout (without logging in) and observe that the left column renders on the left 
bottom of the page starting at a horizontal position below the right column - leaving a huge empty white space between the left 
margin of the browser and the right column.


I'm just a little discouraged at how little testing is done with each new release. It seems to get worse and not better as time 
goes on.

Re: FYI - problems rendering search results

Hello Ryan, Jacques:
That is correct. I was referring to the ecommerce demo.

Again, thanks for engaging in this discussion.

That Anil is leading an initiative to clean up user facing components is 
good news indeed!


I am keenly aware of the issues facing front-end developers. IMHO, one 
of OFBiz's strengths is that the framework makes back-end development 
relatively pain free. Relative to front-end development that is. I spend 
much more time on front-end work whenever I implement a new project. 
But, I'm willing to do this because I know with total conviction that 
the back-end won't let me down. Thanks David, Andy, Jacques  and 
everyone else who have made this possible!


Regards,
Ruth

elements in the markup, consolidate and simplify styles and bring the 
markup up to more modern web standards that accurately reflect Best 
Practices that have been established in regards to HTML and CSS.  As 
this is currently an "in progress" initiative, I imagine that there 
will be bugs/issues in the layout and Freemarker templates and

variables in front-end development as opposed to backend-end 
development, which at times can make the process more complex.  To 
echo your words (and I am not being condescending here, so please 
don't take this the wrong way), there is simply not enough time is the 
day to test every page in every browser, in every operating system.  
In that case, I would echo Scott in encouraging everyone on this list 
to report these issues as they are found so that they can be 
identified, categorized and prioritized as this initiative progresses.

Re: extending ofbiz

[Ruth Hoffman]

Hi Chris:
IMHO, you have two choices:
1) You can design some code changes that could be committed back to the 
project that allow for selective menu/form display much like the Catalog 
Manager allows for an end-user to modify some of the functionality of a 
store. If you choose to go that route, then you would most likely create 
a new component etc. etc. etc.


2) You can do what I have done in the past, and for which there isn't 
really a "Best Practice" guide: Modify the screen/form widgets and 
comment out the stuff you don't want to be displayed or create a new 
screen/form widget for each of the web pages you would like to modify 
and insert them inline with the other screens for the application(s) in 
question.


The rest of this discussion will depend on which route you decide to take.

Re: Default theme ?

Hi Jacques,

I find bizness time theme to be a bit too vertically spread out and the 
font is generally too big, so I always switch back to Flat Grey as it is 
more condensed.


I find this helps a bit with Bizness time:

From

  th, td {
  color:#55;
  padding:0.25em 0.5em;
  }

To

  th, td {
  color:#55;
  padding:0 0.2em;
  }

Also, zooming out the browser helps too.

Cheers,

Chris

[research] ControlTier -- anyone out there using it to manage OFBiz environments?

[Carsten Schinzer]

All,


I'd like to complete some documentation on configuration of OFBiz and just
today got across ControlTier.

Since we are using a similar (but proprietary) tool internally, I am looking
for anyone with experience setting this Open Source tool up to manage OFBiz
environments.
Just recently there were actually a couple of notes on this list touching
the configuration of distributed setups with OFBiz. So maybe you guys can
help me?

Otherwise take this as a hint how roll outs could be organized and
automated.

Kind regards

the ecommerce product listing theme, it is not well advertised.


Finally, I welcome any further discussion on quality control and testing 
as I really do believe that OFBiz rocks! I want to see it take its 
proper place in the world :-)

Hi Ruth,

When you see an issue just drop a word about it in this ML with a copy 
of the url of if you have enough time, please file a Jira.
It should not take too much time. I will also recommend you to use the 
Flat Grey Theme or at least Blue Light one. Which browser are you using ?
I suspect some issue with Bizness Time and I'd ask community if we 
should revert the default to Flat Grey, at least in trunk ?


BTW I agree with you that some it's discouraging. For instance when 
you want to apply a patch and have to fix 2 unrelated bugs before 
being able to test it. Some time it's even your own bugs :D.
But at the same time, OFBiz is growing and we should not become 
discouraged.

Hi Scott:
Sorry to say there isn't enough time in the day for me to report all 
the rendering problems I see in this release. For example, try adding 
a product to the cart and observe how the the shopping cart summary 
links (on the right column) under "Cart Summary" overlap each other. 
Or, attempt to do a quick checkout (without logging in) and observe 
that the left column renders on the left bottom of the page starting 
at a horizontal position below the right column - leaving a huge 
empty white space between the left margin of the browser and the 
right column.


I'm just a little discouraged at how little testing is done with each 
new release. It seems to get worse and not better as time goes on.

Hi,

I'd like to know what the community thinks about Bizness Time as default theme.

Do you use it?
Do you change for another theme ?
Which one fo you prefer?
Did you find bugs in one of the theme but not another?

How do you extend the webapp?

Hi Pierre,

You can check leftbar screen here applications/marketing/widget/sfa/ 
CommonScreens.xml


In this screen there are 2 screenlets: "Quick Add Contact" and "Quick  
Add Lead". If you want to remove these screenlets you can just comment  
them. Then you can add your own content to this screen.

[Chris Snow]

Is there documentation available describing how to extend ofbiz?

In particular, I am looking for ways to extend (and hide) existing 
functionality. 

For example,  if I want to add a custom menu item to a party manager 
profile screens, how would I do it?  What about if I want to hide a menu 
item such as the party "Billing Account" menu?


Many thanks in advance,

Re: FYI - problems rendering search results

[Ruth Hoffman]

Hello David:
IMHO, that is a cop-out. Does the project have a "Board-of-Directors" or 
other governing body? If so, where is the leadership here? Software 
development is not just about committing code to a repository. It is 
just as much about planning, testing and taking responsibility for one's 
actions.

Ruth

Not actionable comments. One could look at the history and see who 
changed what to see how this actually came about, otherwise it's just 
in the bucket of "someone did something and we'll all have to wait

Re: Call WSDL service from OFbiz?

[Jacques Le Roux]

To call a service you may use something like

<#assign billToPartyNameResult = dispatcher.runSync("getPartyNameForDate", Static["org.ofbiz.base.util.UtilMisc"].toMap("partyId", 
billToParty.partyId, "compareDate", orderHeader.orderDate, "userLogin", userLogin))/>

I never used something like taht to call a webservce though..

Re: Assigning Party to catalog

[Rashko Rejmer]

Hi Alexander,

I suppose that you get this error because the party that you are  
trying to associate to pixelfiles_fotos catalog is missing Vendor  
role. You have to add this role to the party before you try to assign  
it to the catalog.


Go to party profile and assign Vendor role to it.

Re: Call WSDL service from OFbiz?

[Jacques Le Roux]

Quick answer : you would have to create a static worker method for this. Not 
sure it's a recommend way to do it though...

Hi all,

I added a new email to my ofbiz. In the body of this email (a .ftl file) I
need the data coming for a WSDL service. So, how can I call a WSDL service
from a .ftl file? Is this possible or I have to do this in another way?

Thanks in advance.

Web User Permission

[Simon Hutchinson]

Hi All,

I have searched the mailing lists, which have several references to  
this issue however none seem to have a definitive answer so i am  
raising it once again.


When performing Auth+Capture through the payment gateway I am getting  
the following exception (when logged in as a newly registered user)


"Error: To run createAcctgTransAndEntries you must have the one of the  
following permissions: ACCTG_ATX_CREATE, ACCTG_ATX_ADMIN"


If I log in an checkout as admin who is a member of these groups  
everything works fine.


I have read http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/OFBiz+security but  
am still a little unsure about the "correct" way to implement this  
security for web users.


It seems intuitively wrong to give accounting permissions to ecommece  
web user but maybe I am mistaken, perhaps I need to somehow run  
"createAcctgTransAndEntries" as  a different user??


Could someone please point me in the right direction for a recommended  
approach to this security issue.


Kind Regards

Simon Hutchinson

RE: Regarding accountCurrencyUomId

[SELC Sales Div]

Hi Naveen,

Oops, sorry I mixed up with your previous topic for decimal point.

Yes, you're right. The {billingAccount.accountCurrencyUomId} cannot display as 
mentioned.
I also try to dig further, still cannot find.

Hi Charles,

I am not clear with your message, the format which i specified is the format
that is ok for me.

But the case if, you see the 

¤12.000

Here, i am not getting the currency symbol, which is the need to display.

For me in some cases, when i set the locale for Indonesia also, the currency
format is not applying.



Thanks and Regards,

Re: [ANN] New modules: OpenCms-OFBiz and OFBiz-Portlet

[Shi Jinghai]

The pages are tested in IE 6/7 and Firefox 3.0/3.5. Are you using a
browser we don't test?

Or it's because of timeout problem of news portlet. If so, we'll tune
the JBoss Portal and improve the news portlet implement.

Thanks,
