Re: Problem with StatusItem table

Hi Anurag,

Have a look in the *EntityLabels.xml files, they are used for 
internationalization of seed data descriptions.  Just to a search for the keys 
you've mentioned below and you should see the files pop up in the results.  
Change the descriptions in those files and you'll see the changes reflected in 
the UI.

Scott

Hi Jonatan,

You can load your own data (ext data) into a tenant database executing the
next command in $OFBIZ_HOME:


java -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar ofbiz.jar -install -readers=ext
-delegator=default#${tenantId}


Where ${tenantId} is the ID of the tenant where you want to load your data.

Is this that you need?

Re: Multiple internal organizations on top

2010-07-15 Thread Jonatan Soto
Actually that's what I have done for now. What I need is to load different
ext data to each tenant. So I am thinking if it is possible to create a
different reader (eg: ext_Company1, ext_Company2).

I also have another doubt related to the databases needed. As I followed the
multitenancy support specified on the wiki I've created  a normal database
(default), and the tetants databases (DEMO1, DEMO2). I understand that the
default database is only necessary to store the tenants information, so I
think it's mandatory to create it. Is that right? In that case, may I only
create the default database specifying only
the group-name=org.ofbiz.tenant in the delegator?

Thanks a lot for your support!

Re: Problem with StatusItem table

2010-07-15 Thread Scott Gray
Who knows with opentaps but I'm guessing the same thing applies.  OFBiz did 
previously use property files for internationalization and my response still 
applies.

Assuming your version of opentaps is based on ofbiz 4.0 then you'll find the 
relevant properties in framework/common/config/CommonEntityLabels.properties
As can be seen here at line 102: 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/branches/release4.0/framework/common/config/CommonEntityLabels.properties?view=markup

Re: Ecommerce @ofbizUrl Problem

2010-07-15 Thread BJ Freeman

using the website entity was the direction I was going.
since it is defined in the web.xml of the ecommerce webapp,
I would like to see the websited first Identified by the incomming URL
http://mydomain.com, then the mountpoint appended.
the problems I see is going to the the backend  for say customer orders.
the myportal has its own webstite entity and is only good for defining 
one incomming URL.
it is clunky but maybe defining in the eccommerce context the website 
enity for myportal would solve this.


any way if that could be accomplished they apache httpd would not be needed.

just thinking outloud.

Scott Gray sent the following on 7/14/2010 10:53 PM:

It's an interesting problem for sure.  Currently the URL writing method 
RequestHandler.makeLink(...) (which the ofbizUrl transform delegates to) uses 
the _CONTROL_PATH_ request attribute to add the control path portion of the URL.

As a short term test you could try overwriting that attribute from within a 
groovy script in the actions of your global decorator.  That would solve the 
problem for URL generation but I'm not sure what else uses that attribute and 
could be affected by such as change.

As a longer term solution, we could possibly look at adding another field for 
this purpose to the WebSite entity which if defined, would override the control 
path used in the makeLink method.

Now its easy to setup ajp/httpd to point www.ecommerce.com to /ecommerce

But when you do this then go to www.ecommerce.com and try and click any

 Actually that's what I have done for now. What I need is to load different
 ext data to each tenant. So I am thinking if it is possible to create a
 different reader (eg: ext_Company1, ext_Company2).


It's done. Is was really easy, I had only to create a new entity-data-reader
in entityengine.xml and then split/adapt my existing ext data changing the
reader-name of every ofbiz-component.xml file that I've previously defined.
I guess I misunderstood the post I mentioned before where BJ was discussing
a similar situation.



 I also have another doubt related to the databases needed. As I followed
 the multitenancy support specified on the wiki I've created  a normal
 database (default), and the tetants databases (DEMO1, DEMO2). I understand
 that the default database is only necessary to store the tenants
 information, so I think it's mandatory to create it. Is that right? In that
 case, may I only create the default database specifying only
 the group-name=org.ofbiz.tenant in the delegator?


I think I was absolutely wrong about this. As I can see, I believe the
default database might be used as normal. So I am thinking to use the
default database for Company1 and only one tenant for Company2. It would be
correct?

And again a new doubt raised, how can I synchronize data between databases?
I mean, there are several tables that I would like to synchronize (eg:
Product) so perhaps a good approach would be, firstly identify which
entities should be sync and then implement something (SECA's?) for each. Is
this a good solution or I am complicating myself?



 Thanks a lot for your support!

 Hi Jonatan,

 You can load your own data (ext data) into a tenant database executing the
 next command in $OFBIZ_HOME:


java -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m -jar ofbiz.jar -install -readers=ext
 -delegator=default#${tenantId}


 Where ${tenantId} is the ID of the tenant where you want to load your
 data.

 Is this that you need?

Re: problem while returning list object

2010-07-15 Thread Santosh Malviya
Hi Prasanthi,

Service returns a map, so  your return type should be Map and in this map
you have to put the list which will be also your OUT parameter and then you
can use the map wherever by accessing its key/value field.  Have a look on
performFindList service.

Thanks and Regards

Need to return map from java service that you have implemented like

Hard space in catalog name

2010-07-15 Thread David van der Staak
Hi, 

I'm trying to add a hardspace in the catalog name, the name that is
visible on the front end. However, when I type the $nbsp; in the name it
gets changed to #36;nbsp#59; which shows it as the literal string
$nbsp; in the browser. I'm trying to make the name not wrap, as I rather
have it breaking out of the box then breaking the entire layout (which
is what happens now). 

TL;DR How to add a hard space in catalog name?

the problems I see is going to the the backend  for say customer orders.
the myportal has its own webstite entity and is only good for defining

it is clunky but maybe defining in the eccommerce context the website

any way if that could be accomplished they apache httpd would not be
needed.

just thinking outloud.

Scott Gray sent the following on 7/14/2010 10:53 PM:

It's an interesting problem for sure.  Currently the URL writing
method RequestHandler.makeLink(...) (which the ofbizUrl transform
delegates to) uses the _CONTROL_PATH_ request attribute to add the
control path portion of the URL.

As a short term test you could try overwriting that attribute from
within a groovy script in the actions of your global decorator.  That
would solve the problem for URL generation but I'm not sure what else
uses that attribute and could be affected by such as change.

As a longer term solution, we could possibly look at adding another
field for this purpose to the WebSite entity which if defined, would
override the control path used in the makeLink method.

Hey Guys,

I am wondering how other people get over this problem?

If you have multiple websites running in OFBiz at the same time then
they will all be mounted at different urls e.g. /ecommerce
/ecommerce2
/ecommerce3 for three different websites.

Now its easy to setup ajp/httpd to point www.ecommerce.com to
/ecommerce
and then www.ecommerce2.com to /ecommerce2 etc.

But when you do this then go to www.ecommerce.com and try and click any
of the links it has automatically added the mount point back into the
url e.g. www.ecommerce.com/ecommerce/control/view/showcart but these
404
because we have done the trickery with ajp to try and hide the mount
point.

I have found that it is something to do with@ofbizUrltags in
the FTL
but I am not sure how to alter them to drop the /ecommerce/

Re: Contributor branch Proposal, was: Contributor branches https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Contributors+Branch+proposal was: Attaching files to a product

2010-07-15 Thread David E Jones

This looks like more of a separate repository than a branch of OFBiz.

First off, the term branch just doesn't apply. A branch of a source 
repository is effectively a copy of the repo that can be changed separately and 
is meant to eventually be merged back into the trunk. If a branch is not meant 
to be merged back into the trunk, it is a fork.

What you're describing isn't even a fork as it doesn't sound like it would be a 
copy of OFBiz that is changed separately, but rather a repository for add-on 
modules.

Also, it sounds like it would best be done outside of the ASF, especially if 
you don't want a vote where PMC votes are binding... that's all there is at the 
ASF.

For those interested, why not just create a sourceforge or google code project 
and share commit access with others who are interested? There is nothing that 
says OFBiz add-on modules have to be part of the project, or that people can't 
create separate projects to do such things. If various people want to work 
together to do so, from the community spirit perspective... all the better!

This response is a big step in the right direction.  There is an old
French proverb that you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
As David said (his own highly ascerbic wit aside) there is a better way.

I think that everyone on this list needs to remember: 1) that learning
OFBiz is painful and frustrating, which can come out (even without
intending it) in new-user posts, and 2) that responding to perceived
offenses with more flames serves no useful purpose.

Postel's law applies to mailing lists, as well as programming:
Be liberal in what input you accept, and conservative in your output.

Proper use of thruDate

2010-07-15 Thread Wai

Hello,
What is the best practice in using the thruDate of an item.
I know that when deleting or expiring an item, it is best to just fill in
the thruDate.  The reason behind this is to have a record of deleted/expired
items.

What if an item needs to be reused again.  Is it a matter of emptying out
the thruDate or setting it to a future expiry date?  If this is the best
practice, how would ofbiz keep track of whether an item has ever been
expired?

Thanks in advance

Having these extensions managed as add-on modules in a separate repository
will be beneficial to the OFBiz trunk.

I mean that this way of managing extensions will probabily require
improvements in the trunk itself to better manage extensions. (i.e.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3373)

Having the extensions in the trunk could generate new dependency problems
(like we have now with many of OFBiz components) and will not help setting
in place a powerfull, community-wide method of managing extensions.

 Hans,

 How would you create such a branch, or what would that look like? Who
 would be able to commit to it?

  Shouldn't we do a proof of concept?

 I will volunteer to create and update a new branch for BJ to start and
 everyone who would like to contribute. When the people on this branch
 say they are ready we can judge what is there and/or provide
 suggestions
 for enhancement.

 After general consensus the branch will be merged into the trunk.

 Any comments?

 Regards,
 Hans

 I am writing a proposal for Contributors branch.
 some of the points are:
 1)components not continued to be supported in the specialpurpose get
 move to the contributors branch till interest is renewed.
 this would simplify maintaining the trunk but allow people to pull it
 down if they want to work on it.
 2)there is no guarantee of the ofbiz community support of the
 contributions.
 3)people can test the contribution and may vote to include it in the
 trunk.
 4)it gives one place to make sure all contributions are integrated
 with
 the latest trunk and each other without effecting the trunk.

 it puzzles me that it is ok open a branch to collorate, but when
 opportunity to have a lot of contributions avalible that would spread
 Ofbiz acceptance you bulk. under you logic that it can be done
 elsewhere
 why not do the same for Hippo.
 I would be interested in your reasons why besides it can be
 elsewhere.

 What need would contributor branches meet that can't already be met
 using the likes of sourceforge, google code or github?

 Regarding your other statements, at some point Hans you are going to
 need to ask yourself why it
