Okay, I think I found it in the catalog manager under Promos. However, I
only see shipping discounts as a percentage. Is is possible to apply a
flat discount?

As far as I know, OFBiz supports order shipping discounts ("free shipping
on orders over $100", blanket discounts, etc.), but I can't seem to find
where to configure them within Webtools.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Re: OFBiz Performance, a good story
I'm not quite sure what you are looking for Before living the project David created a space for requirements https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBREQDES/Home But it's not open like the wiki. In the wiki you have this blank page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Requirements+gathering with children pages You can edit and create you own pages in the wiki as soon as you are registered as a contributor (see explanation at top of each wiki page) HTH Jacques Le 13/02/2014 20:22, Todd Thorner a écrit : Hi Ted, I'm still in full-doofus mode regarding OFBiz and its capabilities for integrating with third-party services/apps from various frameworks/languages.

How can another OFBIz-related project help potential end users take that next step from Hoffman's introductory book toward practical milestones? Perhaps gathering requirements would be a reasonable place to start. I will evaluate options for hosting such a collaborative documentation project (question for OFBiz site admins: is there a sandbox area in the wiki that is available?) I sense a tiny bit of traction.

I would love to help make OFBiz compatible with any arbitrary CMIS-compliant product, but that's just me... Thanks for everything that everyone does to make this product world-class. You're welcome Todd, I don't have a specific answer for the questions you raise. I generally go with whatever works with the team with whom I am working at the time. My priority, right now, is to first learn how to set up a multi-tenant installation of OFBiz, as well as a multi-site installation of wordpress; and then how to integrate the two so that OFBiz's ecommerce component can be used to handle payment for subscriptions to the contents on one or more of the sites in the Wordpress installation. I'd also want to be able to support use of, the relevant back office components (e.g. the accounting), for a venture that is focused on publishing. I then want to install Redmine, in order to be able to exploit it's project management features (including issue/bug tracking). I have not yet begun to see to what extent Redmine's capabilities are complementary to OFBiz's capabilities or how much overlap there may be, e.g., WRT the work effort components). While Redmine, itself, integrates into a couple version control products (notably Subversion), it does not seem to have, as far as I can tell, sup
Re: How to view/edit order item comments?
Are you speaking about back or front (ecommerce) end? Jacques Le 18/02/2014 15:37, Christian Carlow a écrit : Comments can be added to order items when added to a shopping cart but cannot be edited afterwards. At least on the shopping cart page the comments will appear as text just as the selected features do. However, once the order is created, the comments no longer appear. Is the comments field intentionally left out of the form? Maybe having a textarea field for the comments in the form would make it too messy?
Re: OFBiz Performance, a good story
Thanks very much for the information, Mr. Le Roux. I'm not sure what I might be able to do to help the project, so I'll look into the contributor thing. Considering how little time I've had to spend on my company's OFBiz rollout, I'm still counted among the newest of the newbies. I am starting to learn a few things, though, from following these mailing list threads. >From the long "OFBiz.org site: easier navigation to Service Providers and End Users" thread that's been bouncing around here (it has evolved into more of an admin discussion than a user discussion), I gather that I could create my own OFBiz-related content (e.g. documentation) to be hosted elsewhere, so long as I adhere to OFBiz/ASF guidelines. Heck, even books are possible, if I manage to grab enough of a clue. All in all, I need to learn more before I can start creating anything. That's ok, though, I'm accustomed to the tech writer process. I don't want to take up people's time on this user-specific mailing list for the sake of a corollary technical project, so I'll try to keep it to a bunch of "Hey, how does this work in OFBiz" questions until I have some kind of alpha-release announcement for other users. Thanks again.
