Not sure this if this is what you mean, but...

In the Content tab for the product, you can add an image in the
Override Simple Fields section. This is the one normally displayed
when there's only room for one image.

You can add extra images further down the same screen, under Add
Additional Images. These are displayed when viewing the product (i.e.
not a catalog) in ecommerce.

If you need different behaviour, you may need to alter the relevant .ftl file.

Cheers,
Anne.

Re: Product image problems

[BJ Freeman]

not sure what your asking.
you use the original size then the software re-sizes the images.
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProductContent?productId=dropShip1
which of the re-sized images is hard coded in the widgets.
but view source of a page you can see what widget is being used and see 
what image size is used. By image size I mean by label not actual sizes.

Changing database names

[James Lawton]

I want to have multiple database schemas in MySQL which I alternate using.

 

The standard schema names seem to be ofbiz, ofbizolap, and ofbiztenant

 

I would like to rename the schemas to something else like ofbdemo,
ofbdemoolap, ofbdemotenant

 

I have been through the entityengine.xml file - which is where I set up the
connections to mySQL - and I can't see where in the file it refers to the
schema names.

 

If it's not in the entityengine.xml where would I reference the database
schema names?

Securing third party servlets and resources with ofbiz security.

[Lukasz Kucharski]

Hello there,

my company needs to integrate Isomorphic Smartclient into backoffice
module but my issue arises also for other technologies using dedicated
servlets to provide json data for JS (eg. GWT).

Use case is:

-browser requests 3rd party servlet configured in web.xml (say catalog module)
-ofbiz checks to see if user is logged in. If yes lets request
through. If not - redirects to login page.
-user logs in


1. What is best way to secure separate servlet with ofbiz security
mechanism? Any GET/POST request for this servlet should be checked
similar way request to ControlServlet is being checked.

2. What is best way to secure third party resources (js/images/static
html files)? Those files, I guess, should be checked by specifically
implemented filter and then if user is logged in  'default' Tomcat
servlet should be allowed to feed them to the browser. Now
ContextFilter filter prevents resources from being served so this
should also be reconfigured.

I expect I have to write filter for this and do sth similar to
checkLogin method in LoginWorker does but is it the right way?

Thanks for clues

Best
Lukasz

Hi,

I have a requirement where I need to create manufacturers which I can
insert as parties. Manufacturers can have zero or more brands. Each
brand can have zero or more products.

- Is brands supported in ofbiz ? I have checked the data model but not
able to find.
- If not what would be the best way to achieve this ?

IMO I should extend ofbiz data model and create a new brand table and
manufacturer-brand table.
Brand table would have all the brands and manufacturer-brand table would
have the manufacturer brand association.
Also extend the product table and include brandId as a drop-down.
Product has OEM Party ID(which I think is nothing but manufacturer) and
based on the OEM Party Id the brandId can be populated.

Any design pointers are much welcomed.

Re: Widgets and screens

[BJ Freeman]

take the normal layout as it is now and change the CSS.
you can make components invisible even though they are still there.
so you can have all the components load and put the location off screen.
then when they select them bring them in view and make them visible.

The cache settings were indeed wrong, it does load em properly now.

I'm already working on a CSS Editor, however the larger problem is not so much 
how it looks, but what it shows on a page. An example would be the right bar. 
Perhaps that customer A wants to show their phone number, while customer B 
wants a related products colom there. My idea was to let them be able to edit 
the shop in that way, which would be more then CSS can achiev.

My idea thus far would be to create a seperate component per customer, and 
configure apache to figure out which site goes to which component.

The end idea of the project is to give customers a ready shop they can use, but 
also that they can edit all the way. They don't like the way it was positioned? 
Just click edit, drag'ndrop it, save, and it's the way they wanted it to be. If 
they want to create for example, a new widget somewhere, then they can click 
new, widget, insert whatever data would be needed and it'd be there, on the 
page they clicked new on. This would give customers a much greater freedom then 
the average webshop would give them.

though widgets and ftl give you the components to display, the CSS is
the final determination of the display.
you can have (skins) themes that they select from, that are copied to a
specfic themename for that user, then assigned to them. you could use
webtools code to import the data, into their db. this ofcourse is a
customization.

Going into widgets and ftl's as a WYSIWYG is a Great development tool
but I would not expect users to be able to create and or modify those,
especially if your using multi-tenent shared code.
Getting into the Entities is not something I would allow a user to do.

you could consider putting a class on each field which could be effected
by the CSS. the WYSIWYG would then modify the CSS files in the selected
theme as far as a component/field showing, and placement, as well as
font and type.

Hello,

I'm trying to create a functionality which would allow a store owner
to dynamically edit their website via a WYSIWYG like editor.
The editor itself is nearly complete, but I'm unsure how to save the
changes.

The thing I thought of first, is try to interpret the files myself,
present them in a way the user can edit them graphically, then store
the files again. However, to make the changes effective a run-install
seems to be needed or at the very least a restart, which is less then
desirable.
I know the installation of those files is done at some point, and I
was hoping to be able to trigger that again or perhaps call it only on
the files that have been edited.

Could someone perhaps give me a few pointers on where to look?
Specifically, i'm editing the .ftl and .xml files which are related to
the looks and feel of the ecommerce store.

If it's possible to let ofbiz give me an interpretation of the files
that'd even be better. I'll have to adjust my editor ofcourse, but
that's manageable.

Perhaps that customer A wants to show their phone number, while customer B 
wants a related products colom there. My idea was to let them be able to edit 
the shop in that way, which would be more then CSS can achiev.

My idea thus far would be to create a seperate component per customer, and 
configure apache to figure out which site goes to which component.

The end idea of the project is to give customers a ready shop they can use, but 
also that they can edit all the way. They don't like the way it was positioned? 
Just click edit, drag'ndrop it, save, and it's the way they wanted it to be. If 
they want to create for example, a new widget somewhere, then they can click 
new, widget, insert whatever data would be needed and it'd be there, on the 
page they clicked new on. This would give customers a much greater freedom then 
the average webshop would give them.

though widgets and ftl give you the components to display, the CSS is
the final determination of the display.
you can have (skins) themes that they select from, that are copied to a
specfic themename for that user, then assigned to them. you could use
webtools code to import the data, into their db. this ofcourse is a
customization.

Going into widgets and ftl's as a WYSIWYG is a Great development tool
but I would not expect users to be able to create and or modify those,
especially if your using multi-tenent shared code.
Getting into the Entities is not something I would allow a user to do.

you could consider putting a class on each field which could be effected
by the CSS. the WYSIWYG would then modify the CSS files in the selected
theme as far as a component/field showing, and placement, as well as
font and type.

Hello,

I'm trying to create a functionality which would allow a store owner
to dynamically edit their website via a WYSIWYG like editor.
The editor itself is nearly complete, but I'm unsure how to save the
changes.

The thing I thought of first, is try to interpret the files myself,
present them in a way the user can edit them graphically, then store
the files again. However, to make the changes effective a run-install
seems to be needed or at the very least a restart, which is less then
desirable.
I know the installation of those files is done at some point, and I
was hoping to be able to trigger that again or perhaps call it only on
the files that have been edited.

Could someone perhaps give me a few pointers on where to look?
Specifically, i'm editing the .ftl and .xml files which are related to
the looks and feel of the ecommerce store.

If it's possible to let ofbiz give me an interpretation of the files
that'd even be better. I'll have to adjust my editor ofcourse, but
that's manageable.

Regards

David van der Staak

Re: Is brands supported in ofbiz ?

[Raj Saini]

Hi Hans,

Brand name field is a free text and there is no relationship with 
manufacturer. If a product is manufacturer A it it must be associated 
with brand related to that manufacturer. Brand Name field does not 
enforce such constraints.


Thanks,

Raj

Re: Is brands supported in ofbiz ?

[Shailen]

Thanks Abhishake for your inputs. but IMO brand and categories are two 
different things as a brand can only be associated with only one 
manufacturer while a category can be associated with multiple manufacturers.

So how can I restrict this association of multiple manufacturers?

IMO I should extend ofbiz data model and create a new brand table and
manufacturer-brand table.
Brand table would have all the brands and manufacturer-brand table would
have the manufacturer brand association.
Also extend the product table and include brandId as a drop-down. Product
has OEM Party ID(which I think is nothing but manufacturer) and based on the
OEM Party Id the brandId can be populated.

Any design pointers are much welcomed.
