Is it the intention (for product features demonstration reasons) that the ecommerce web application shows the menu options of order history, profile, quotes, ... when user is not logged in?

Noticed the following line in header.ftl of the ecommerce web application that seems to allow that to happen. #if !userLogin?has_content || (userLogin.userLoginId)?if_exists != anonymous This check is provided to show the features in the ecommerce front end component to the logged in users as well as to the one who are not logged in.

Birt reports in OFbiz

Re: does anyone know ofbiz?
Hi Marc, This is one of the reasons I have been pushing for and independent ofbiz framework. It's is relatively quick to learn how to develop standalone apps in ofbiz. I believe with ofbiz, you can develop small applications as quickly as you can in MS Access - with a lot more benefits when using ofbiz (multiuser, web enabled, extendable, etc). However, in my opinion, it takes years of experience to be able to use the existing apps (partymgmt, ordermgmt, etc).

Re: tests are slow
Hi Scott, That works great - much quicker! I have started up the normal container and I have created a service (runTestSuite) that instantiates the TestRunContainer. The service is marked as exported, so I am just running the tests via a SOAP call at the moment. This functionality would be good in webtools. It would also be good if a test could be executed against a running ofbiz via the main build ant script. Using ant, we could easily run tests from eclipse by creating an external run task for each test. Shall I raise this as a JIRA improvement? Many thanks, Chris Scott Gray wrote: You could try manually initializing and starting the TestRunContainer, but obviously changes to java files will only take effect after you recompile.

Any chance for an upgrade? - help please
Hello all, We started to develop an e-commerce application based on Ofbiz framework around 2 years ago. The version we started from is a revision 691692. Main problem is that we already have few systems launched into production, based on that revision. Meanwhile, doing some mass tests, we encountered a lot of problems - mostly related to transactions... We noticed the implementation of /framework/entity/src/org/ofbiz/entity/transaction/TransactionUtil.java has lots of problems from this point of view - maybe not thread safe. We just checked out today revision 902810 and it seems someone really improved a lot that source code from threads-safe point of view. Trying to upgrade only that class into our old version drove to upgrade for more and more classes. We encountered lots of incompatibilities - the source code has been in some places fully changed. Right now, having more than 800 compilation errors I would not feel too optimist to integrate only what I need from the newer version into the old one. On the other hand, trying to get 902810 and then put over our work might also cause same problems because the entity layer and conditions handling seems to be changed.. I even expect to be worse that way because maybe web templates are also changed. Which way could someone suggest to proceed for a better version where all database/entity layer/transaction later problems are fixed? Many thanks, Flopa
Re: does anyone know ofbiz?
Hi Chris: I think you are spot on. Once you understand the basics, it is relatively easy to develop data driven web applications with the OFBiz framework. I've been doing just that for several years now. All that nasty database stuff is taken care of - leaving me free to develop real world solutions in short order. What is much more difficult is to figure out how to use the existing applications to solve real world problems. I'm still struggling with that.

Re: Update entity product - mass update for producut price
Thank you Jeroen for the reply. Can you please elaborate the 'calling services through the XML-RPC interface.' As what I understood from webtools XML import i can import data, but i want to update data that means I will have WHERE condition while updating the tables/entities. I am looking into Talend Open Studio.

build error on stable release
I think I am running the most stable release 9.04, but I can't
completely remember which version I downloaded. How can I get the
version number from OfBiz?
I was going to use my build number to ask this question. I tried to
compile by running ant, I just typed ant in the ofbiz-trunk
directory. I get the following error.
BUILD FAILED

What should I do to make it compile? Thanks.

Re: build error on stable release
If you have checked it out via SVN, then to get the revision number of your
installed copy, on terminal go to OFBiz trunk directory, and run svn info
command, it will give you the revision info of your installed copy.

How to get a handle on the e-commerce engine?
I've gone through all the tutorials. What do you think I should do to get a handle on the e-commerce customization? Also is there an interface to look at the SQL tables, something like phpMyAdmin? Thanks Patrick
Re: How to get a handle on the e-commerce engine?
Hi Patrick: You could purchase and read my 2 books. (http://www.myofbiz.com) They explain OFBiz ecommerce from an end-user's point of view. What you get OOTB. Once you understand what comes with OFBiz, it makes it much easier to customize. Some other people have found these useful. As for a SQL interface, try the Webtool Entity Reference - Interactive Version. There is also some information floating around about how to use Eclipse and another 3rd party tool (can't remember the name) to view the Derby database. Personally, I find the Webtools reference is really useful.

Re: How to get a handle on the e-commerce engine?
look at the entity reference in webtools...it includes a entity content browser and works on any database.

Re: does anyone know ofbiz?
The UBPL stories might be helpful for you Chris, but I think they are different from what you are looking for. The goal of UBPL is to get people collaborating in a more structured way on gathering requirements, and then based on those requirements collaborate on designs, and THEN collaborate on implementation of those designs. It is not an attempt to document what is already in OFBiz, but rather to document common business requirements in the form of processes to help refine and flesh-out OFBiz (ie to drive the future of OFBiz). The reason for this goal is that typically there has been little if any collaboration on requirements and designs in OFBiz. This works to some extent because the OFBiz base applications (those in the components in the ofbiz/applications directory) are meant to be generic and reusable, and that means organized around a data model and NOT around business processes in order to support a wider variety of business processes, and so the artifacts are reusable in custom or derived applications that are designed to support a wide variety of business processes. In other words, you could try to document the business processes supported by OFBiz, but you would never finish because there is no single process or even a small set of processes that OFBiz supports... it really a very large set of processes. Your best bet to find things in OFBiz is to gain an understanding of the data model, and then to use tools like the Artifact Info stuff in web tools to find related artifacts (ie controller requests and views, screens, forms, service definitions, service implementations, and so on. When you do this you'll see a number of process snippets that are modeled as services (like creating an order), or triggers that get other processes going in the form of ECA rules (like creating an invoice for part or all of an order when items from that order are in a packed shipment). I'm actually a little bit surprised that no one else has brought up these points. This has been discussed many many times. Or maybe I've presented it many many times and no one believes me...? -David On Jan 25, 2010, at 8:25 AM, Jeroen van der Wal wrote: Hi Chris, There is already an initiative do document high-level processes: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBREQDES/Universal+Business+Process+Library+Index Jeroen van der Wal Stromboli b.v. +31 655 874050 On Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Chris Snow sno...@snowconsulting.co.ukwrote: Hi Ruth, I wouldn't even say it's difficult to figure out the existing applications.

Re: restricting store/catalog/product access
Sorry to respond with a lack of timeliness... As I mentioned in a previous message this is only support on the Store level, and not on the Catalog, Category, or Product levels. The basic idea is if you set the Require Customer Role flag on the Store then a user will only be able to login to the ecommerce site (specifically for that store) if they are associated with the Store in the Customer role. So, just set that flag on the store, then in the Role(s) tab for the store add the people (Parties) you want to have access in the Customer role. -David On Jan 12, 2010, at 2:05 PM, sgrossman wrote: Trying this again in a new post. Is there step by step instructions somewhere on setting up restricting login/party to a store or catalog? I would like to have products (if it has to be a whole catalog that is ok) that are only visible to a specific party group. Specifically: Do I have a catalog that is associated to the store that has all products that everyone can see, and then have a catalog that is for the special party group but not associated to the store? If so how would the logins in that party group switch to the other catalog? Thanks!
