 In other word to use layer lookups instead of popup lookups
 everywhere it's
 possible in OFBiz.
 From my 1st serie of tests it seems to work well almost everywhere,

Re: 50 cent ride

[BJ Freeman]

can we some how hook the help files into the portlet.\
I say this because that is already in place is a quicker path to have a
solution.
then when the then have a generic portlet, that can be reused, and have
parms in the configuration that define it for an application.
one of those can be front_page and link to the help file.

Re: 50 cent ride

[Bruno Busco]

Something we discussed some time ago was to have a portalPage as the main
page of every application.
Then a good and useful thing would be to create the content portlet. This
would be a portlet that renders one or more content selected by its key or
the like.
Then we could have the information you want in a content and set a
portalPortlet that shows it in the portalPage main application page.

So the roadmap could be:
1) create the content portlet
2) create the portalPage widget
3) put a portalPage widget on every application's main page
4) create contents with the instructions
5) set a specific content portalPortlet on the application's main pages
portalPages

What do you think?

Re: return user to /viewprofile?partyId=XXXX after a service call

[Jacques Le Roux]

You simply need to pass the partyId from the called service using
   
of course you need to have/create a viewprofile request which calls the 
viewprofile view
You should deal also with error using
   

You may use request-redirect instead of request and then using 
redirect-parameter you don't need to pass the partyId from the called
service if the parameter is in the parameters map (ie when you call the service)

If you want to get back to a specific page after an action you may use 
save-last-view and view-last
You will find more in site-conf.xsd and I suggest to look at the examples in 
controller.xml files

HTH

Jacques

From: "Patrick" 

I have this page,
https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/viewprofile?partyId=10451
call a form, the form invokes a service.  After the service I want to
return the user to the previous page.
Right now my controller looks like this, but I know its not right.
Do I need to build the URL in the service and pass it back to the
controller?


   
   
   

Re: 50 cent ride

[BJ Freeman]

it is a very good idea, also look at the help files being integrated

I might be wise to use that format to provide the information.

Re: Confusion about how the "Run Service" Webtools tool works

[Ruth Hoffman]

To answer my own question:

The confusion is that the Webtools "Run Service" returns to the 
"Schedule Job" web page even though my service has successfully run. I 
can see the output in the log file.


The "Schedule Job" web page wants me to enter in Job Scheduling 
parameters. Maybe a successful "Run Service" invocation should return to 
a different web page?


Regards,
Ruth

Hello List:

Back in the "old" days, you could use the Webtools "Run Service" tool 
to invoke a service synchronously from an HTML form. The process was, 
if I'm not mistaken: enter in the service name, any input parameters, 
hit submit and the Service was run. You didn't need to schedule it to 
have it run.


I'm trying to use the 9.04 & Trunk versions of the "Run Service" tool 
with testScv (as my service to run) and it appears as though I'm not 
able to run the service without actually scheduling it. Although the 
"Run Service" tool to tells me that my service was "Scheduled" 
successfully it never shows up any where on the Service Log.


Am I not using this tool correctly? Do I need to also "schedule" a 
service to have it run using the "Run Service" tool?

 I think its time to start thinking on the things that should be
 taken
 care in / before release branch 10.04.
 
 Bug fixing should be the major area which should be taken care
 extensively in next two months.
 What about new features etc. etc.?
 
 Please comment.

What I'll do is to put the new label file into the config folder and add
something like

Hi all,

sometimes I need to add or work with specifics labels on entities / UI
/security, which won't be added to OFBiz.

Is there then a way to create a new file and working with it such as
what is done with the extend entity ?

Regards,

Yeah sure, it's what I'm doing. I didn't explained well my use case. The 
problem I'm facing is when using EntityLabels already existing.


If I want to add new records in my entity, and then add the EntityLabels 
going with it, I have to modify the OFBiz file. What I want is extend 
the existing labels file, and not have to modify the OFBiz file...

50 cent ride

[Torstein Hegbom]

I have an idea that I would like to test if you like it or not. Here it
goes:

 

There is a set of different applications in OfBiz. To lower the user
learning curve it would be nice to have a picture as a front page of each
application. The picture will illustrate the logical entities at a high
level that consist in in an application.

 

Example:

Catalog Manager has a relationship between catalog, product, store,
shipping, workeffort, etc

Manufacturing Manager has a relationship to productionplanning, bom,
workeffort, marketing, store, etc

 

The idea is to create a front page to each of the application so that the
user can understand what is possible to do in the application. The front
page will describe these enteties as boxes (possibly with an icon inside)
with arrows in between. If the user presses on one of the boxes the
appropriate application-input-screen will be shown.

 

This will give a visual insight to what that is possible to do inside the
respective application. As they say, one picture describes more than
thousand words. Giving the user a 50 cent ride when opening the Catalog
Manager, Facility Manager or any other application would give quick insight
into what the application does, and internal relationships it has.
