Re: Linking contact list to data source

2010-02-09 Thread james_sg

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the reply.

Since the functionality is not yet implemented in OFBiz, shouldn't it be
make known in the help screen and also the OFBiz Official Documentation?

Regards,
James

Re: Data Model Diagrams (was Re: Key data model relationship pages in Wiki)

2010-02-09 Thread Matt Warnock
My thought was that the local server (rather than a web site) might
actually be the ideal place for video.  Certainly the warnings on the
old site about downloading, not streaming, suggest that may be the case.
SVN would make updates or additions automatic if/when they happen, which
(so far) has not really been an issue.  

A video component of the local help system, like the docbook system,
might be a good thing as the system grows.  A standard local location,
and standard links to them from the help pages would be good, but
possible language differences etc. militate in favor of it being
optional, and as you say, SVN may not be the optimal way to deal with
it.  When OFBiz goes modular, it may be one kind of module to think
about.

Is there a java equivalent of apt-get, yum, or rpm?

Just a thought.

I noticed the workflow entities on page 31, is anybody working on this? I
recently bought the Datamodel Resource Book Vol 3 which discribes a similar
pattern around business rules and I was thinking of adding that to OFbiz.

Hello David,
   The page you added is correctly indexed to "Ofbiz Technical Documentation" 
--> "Data Model". If appropriate, please make the following corrections (which 
I don't have access to edit, I guess).
1. Remove following from the main "Ofbiz Documentation Index". 
   a. General Documents --> Entity Overview . This is aptly availabe through 
"Ofbiz Technical Documentation" --> "Data Model"
   b. Data Model Documents and Diagrams . Please move this to "Ofbiz Technical 
Documentation" --> "Data Model" if it is still relevant, or remove it.

2. Add a link to "Ofbiz Technical Documentation" in "Ofbiz Documentation Index

thanks,
Babu.

The data model diagrams are now on cwiki, available on this page:

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Data+Model+Diagrams

Please note that because there is a 20MB limit for files on cwiki the version 
of the diagrams attached is split into a table of contents (TOC) and 4 files 
with different page ranges.

If anyone hasn't taken a look at these yet I highly recommend that you do. They 
are a great resource for training as well as for discussions and reference 
during developments. I've had an older version of this document in my desk 
drawer for a couple of years now to use for easy reference.

Enjoy!

Re: Parameters in seca

2010-02-09 Thread Hans Bakker
Hi,

the beauty of this system is that for most things you would like to do
there are many examples.

I order to find an answer to your question I went into eclipse in OFBiz,
pressed ctrl-shift-r and entered seca* to look for examples how other
programmers created secasone of the first files which came up was
applications/accounting/servicedef/secas_payment.xml

if you look in this file there are many examples how secas should be
coded. I searched for a word you used very often like 'parameters' i
could not found one

could it be that the mapname 'parameters' is not required here? all
variables are already in he parameters map.

Regards.

 Some persons use the Nabble forum and seem to think that we all do. 
 This is not true, I guess most of us are simply using their email
 client...

 Please, add, at least, a snippet of the previous message to allow
 comprehension... (you may use the quote feature in Nabble...)

 Thanks

search found it.

Are there are any instructions on CAS enabling ofbiz trunk?

I have seen the document 
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/download/attachments/6553844/ArlSettingUpCasOnOfbiz5.pdf 
but it makes no reference to the ldap component in specialpurpose.


Many thanks,

Re: Questions on Creating a Marketing Campaign

2010-02-09 Thread james_sg

Hi,

I have attached a screenshot.

http://n4.nabble.com/file/n1474049/AddMarketingCampaign.gif 

1) Since the From Date field is together with the Thru Date, can i assume 
they are for the period of the campaign?
2) I mean shouldn't the number of converted leads be reported by ofBiz
instead 
of being updated by the end user?
5) Will check the Data Model Book too

Regards,
James
