Re: Ofbiz support creation of temporary tables in database?
Hello, Thanks for the reply. I'm familiar with the view-entity as well as the DynamicViewEntity class. What I wanted to accomplish is to aggregate the person's firstName, middleName, lastName into one field so that I can use a single search filter to filter in or out the appropriate entries of a resulting join operation. I was thinking of creating a temporary table to store these aggregated strings and then use the temporary table to join with other tables accordingly. This way, I can let the database do all the work of filtering and let the screen widget do the paging as usual. Otherwise, I would have to perform a join with entities Party, Person. Then read all the entries and concatenate by code, the firstName, middleName, lastName and then store the aggregated name into an unused GenericValue field (eg. firstName or something else), then perform the filtering in my code and then let the screen widget output the listing. I could use ... view-entity alias name=fullPersonName complex-alias operator=|| complex-alias-field entity-alias=PERSON field=firstName/ complex-alias-field entity-alias=PERSON field=middleName/ ... But the above would be database server specific. Hence, I would like to avoid it. What I want to do seems very common and I would like to know if anyone has already accomplished this and give some insight.

Re: Proposal to remove catalog's Template Path Prefix field from user interface
@Mike Thanks for the clarification. The Content Path Prefix is clear now. Hence, in practice, it would mean that an ofbiz owner would have to create a mount point for each NFS mount in the image component. I agree that this feature is useful in an ofbiz single-tenant operating mode. But it would not be practical in a multi-tenant operating mode. As a side note. If ofbiz is to be multi-tenant capable.

Re: Proposal to remove catalog's Template Path Prefix field from user interface
Hello David, I'm not sure to whom you're addressing your post. Since I'm the originator, I'll give a reply. A catalog's Template Path Prefix field is used to specify the path prefix to a particular screen widget file containing the screen to use for listing products in the ecommerce website. The reason for this post is that the code blindly prepends the value of this field to the category's Detail Screen field. Resulting in a final file path that will always cause an exception. Hence this code had never worked. As you can see from the original posting, the resulting path to the target screen to use makes no sense. Since this code never worked since 2006. It is therefore reasonable that no one has ever used this feature. And it is unlikely that the originator of the code could possibly have used it successfully unless he made changes to his own version of ofbiz. That's why I proposed to have this code and associated ui be hidden or removed. If not the code, at least hide the ui part. I'll log a jira on this so that the community can keep track.

Re: Proposal to remove catalog's Template Path Prefix field from user interface
I've read the help and doc as well and I could not understand what it says. :-( As a result, I had to get the real doc from the code. My comment on the bug with Template Path Prefix was already explained. Regarding a catalog's Content Path Prefix field, it also exhibits the same flaw. That of blindly prepending this field. This field is generally used to specify the product images to be shown in the ecommerce component. When this field is empty, the generated image tag in ecommerce is shown below (note that it is using image webapp context): /images/products/ENCHILADAS/small.png If you were to specify /zzz for Content Path Prefix, the resulting url for the generated image tag is shown below (note that it is using zzz webapp context): /zzz/images/products/ENCHILADAS/small.png As you can see. Content Path Prefix specifies a zzz webapp context with a subdirectory image. I doubt this was the intent of the field. The question is, where exactly are you supposed to place this field value?

Proposal to remove catalog's Template Path Prefix field from user interface
Does anyone know how a catalog's Template Path Prefix field is used from http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProdCatalog?prodCatalogId=DemoCatalog It seems that the code blindly prepends the Template Path Prefix value to the category's Detail Screen field. Hence, if a catalog's Template Path Prefix is zzz and a category's Detail Screen is somedetailscreen, the resulting screen that ofbiz looks for is /zzzsomedetailscreen. Which ofbiz would not be able to locate based on the format of the screen location.

Re: From/Thru date for catalog
Even though a catalog can be used by multiple stores. I do not see how it is not feasible from an operational point of view. If a catalog is expired because it is no longer applicable (eg. last summer's product line). Retiring a catalog should be reflected in all stores using the catalog. All stores making use of the retired catalog should first verify that the catalog is active for the store in addition to verifying that the catalog is indeed active. If the catalog is found to be expired, ofbiz would hide the retired catalog from selection at the visitor's store (or website). This offers a central point for management of catalogs.

Re: From/Thru date for catalog
ProductStoreCatalog entity provides store, catalog applicability. The From/Thru field provide a way to expire this association.

Hence, catalogs for different purposes are accumulated over the years. I'm more referring to a catalog that is no longer of use for business purposes and need to be retired and/or deleted.

Re: ImageDataResource, VideoDataResource, AudioDataResource, OtherDataResource
I agree that it's not much trouble to do the extra work of deleting an entry from one table and creating another in another table. The point was that it's an extra step that was not required. Hence simplifying the management process. Even querying the database related to these separated tables become more complicated then it needs to be (ie. query all contents for a particular party/category/etc). Unfortunately, I am not familiar with database tuning as it related to separate blob types so I cannot comment on it. My proposal was to all the experienced ofbiz developers. If no one can justify an advantage of having separate ImageDataResource, VideoDataResource, AudioDataResource, OtherDataResource. Perhaps it would be better to only use ImageDataResource to store binary file uploads and deprecate all the others.

Re: ImageDataResource, VideoDataResource, AudioDataResource, OtherDataResource
Hello, I don't understand what useful functional purpose it would serve to separate these different types of blobs into the separate entities when DataResource.mimeTypeId/Content.mimeTypeId would help to distinguish one type of blob from another. The complication with having separate entities for each type of uploaded binary files types is one of management. For a scenario where a user stores a photo to the content component (which ends up storing the image data into DataResource and ImageDataResource). Now, when the user decides later to change the content to another type of file (eg. a video file) for the same contentId, then ofbiz would have to make the necessary changes of destroying the entry in ImageDataResource and store the uploaded video data to VideoDataResource for the same DataResource.dataResourceId/Content.dataResourceId. This is rather complicated for maintenance purposes. I propose to only use ImageDataResource for storing any kind of blob content and rely on Content.mimeTypeId and/or DataResource.mimeTypeId to identify the format of the blob. Hence deprecating VideoDataResource,AudioDataResource,OtherDataResource. Any insight/comment is appreciated.

Re: vendors and suppliers
Hello All, Just to add a little more confusion. Given the owner of the organization that is running ofbiz. This organization is organized into self contained business units. Each business unit was created to develop/market/sell a certain product line. 1. All outside companies that sell to the organization or any of its business units are considered suppliers in ofbiz. 2. The organization and any of its business units that sell to outside companies are called vendors in ofbiz. How would the owner of the organization classify business units that sell/buy from each other? Are they considered supplier or vendor or both. Ie. do these business units have entries in both VendorProduct and SupplierProduct? Or do the owner just use roles to distinguish them?

mySql max_allowed_packet configuration in entityengine.xml ?
I'm running ofbiz (based off of trunk) with mysqld Ver 5.1.49 on linux. While trying to upload a large image file via https://http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/viewprofile?partyId=Company, I got the following relevant message from ofbiz: (Packet for query is too large (16888785 1048576). You can change this value on the server by setting the max_allowed_packet' variable.)) Further research indicates that I need to use the following command to start mysql server. #mysqld --max_allowed_packet=some_larger_value Could someone tell me if there is an equivalent attribute that I can use in the entityengine.xml that I can configure rather than having to remember to use the above command when starting the mysql server. This would help to reduce the number of things to remember when using the ofbiz in another system.

Re: creating a new user login
Here is a link to a page that allows you to create a new username without an associated party/partygroup. https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/FindUserLogin Take note of the create new button. This button will result in a request to https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/createnewlogin , that allows you to create a new username without an associated party/partygroup My proposal is to correct the https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/createnewlogin page to contain functionality to select an existing party (or create a new party) and then associate the newly created username to it. The request map for createnewlogin is located in component://common/webcommon/WEB-INF/security-controller.xml. This can be found from the tool you specified previously, https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/ArtifactInfo Clearly, this conflicts with your previous statement, ...you will see there is no direct call from a webpage to the url. it is part of other processes.

As mentioned, the ofbiz trunk still allows a user to specify input for this functionality. Even though it doesn't do much. I would suggest removing the Page Push/Following prompts from the UI. If there's no objections, I'll create an issue in jira to have it removed from the UI. As a reference, that page is accessed via https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/visitdetail?visitId=1.

Re: creating a new user login
The procedure you mentioned in creating a username for an existing party/partygroup is what I have expected to be the proper procedure. The original intent of this posting was that ofbiz allows me to create just a username without an associated party/partygroup. After which, I cannot associate the username with a party/partygroup. Hence, the username cannot be associated with a security group. Hence, no access to ofbiz using this username. In short, the newly created username is useless. I think that this is a bug and the button to create just a new userlogin should be removed or the screen should be enhanced to specify an existing party/partygroup that the username is to be associated with.

Re: creating a new user login
That can't be done. When a new username is created, it is not associated with a party. Attempting to locate the user name using the party search page (https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/main) does not yield the newly created username. Since the party search cannot locate the username, and the username is not already associated with a party/partygroup, there is no way I can view the party profile page to work with the securitygroup and permission portion. Any other suggestion would be appreciated or is this a bug?

Re: one component includes a screen from another component--clarification
Given that componentA uses the screens of componentB and componentB makes use
of its own decorator screens.
After some analysis, I discovered that when componentB's screen uses its own
decorator screens specified with
location=${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}, the value of 'location'
attribute actually refers to componentA's directory as specified in
componentA's web.xml.
Hence, I can solve the problem by, when referring to decorator screens,
replacing location=${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation} to
location=component://componentB/widget/CommonScreens.xml#SomeDecoratorScreen.
Ie. hardcoding the location of componentB's decorator screen file.
Thanks all for helping out.

Re: product virtual/variant both set
I think this thread is similar to what is being discussed on another thread, 'more than one unit of measue fo the same product: advice requested'. A store owner would deal with the incoming packaging type from the supplier and provide as a service to a customer through another form of packaging. Eg. store owner get 1 package of 50 bottles of water from his supplier but sells them as a package of 10 bottles to his customers. My understanding of your explanation is that 'one' bottle of water would be a product marked as virtual and a variant product representing a package of 10 bottles would also be created. And when a store owner received from his supplier one package of 50 bottles of water, his inventory, for the virtual product, would be raised by 50. When the store owner sells his package of 10 bottles to a customer, his virtual product inventory will be decremented by 10. The associated variant product inventory is unchanged. This implies that a virtual product can indeed hold inventory and that a variant product does not necessarily have to have any inventory associated with it. Please let me know if my understanding is correct, Thanks -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/product-virtual-variant-both-set-tp3313142p3313191.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: username stored in browser cookie?
David, Thanks for the clarification. I suspected that BJ was joking about the password. I was running ecommerce app with the username 'ecomUser1'. Looking at the browser cookie, the username is indeed stored in the cookie for ecommerice.autoUserLoginId JSESSIONID=6CE1F96832E46AEECF2F537D8CA6419B.jvm1; OFBiz.Visitor=10041; ecommerce.autoUserLoginId=ecomUser1 Even after logout, the username still persists. eg. OFBiz.Visitor=10041; ecommerce.autoUserLoginId=ecomUser1 What this implies is that, on a public computer, the next person would be able to find out the username of the last person that used the ofbiz ecommerce app. Just as an aside, my paypal account cookie does not contain the username.

My understanding is that a 'One' indicates that of all categories associated with the catalog, a given prodCatalogCategoryType can only be assign to one category. eg. Using Browse Root (One). Of all categories inside the catalog, only one category can be associated with the catalog with Browse Root (One) as the prodCatalogCategoryType. The 'Many' would indicate that of all categories associated with the catalog. One or more categories can have the same prodCatalogCategoryType. Please correct my understanding where appropriate.
