Re: Developing a client site with OFBIZ.

2020-01-24 Thread Michael Brohl

Hi Robert,

which version/release of OFBiz do you use?

In general, I recommend to extend OFBiz by using the plugin mechanism 
and not directly change the OFBiz standard components. This way you 
vendor updates are easier.


You should set up your git project in a way where you use a remote 
branch to the OFBiz source branch as an upstream branch and merge from 
this upstream branch towards your development branch (or whichever 
branch you need depending on your project's branching model). This even 
works with an upstream based on SVN (for older release branches).


You can then easily update even if you made changes/MODS in the standard 
components (which should be avoided where possible), git mergetool will 
help you during merge.


Hope this helps,

Hello everyone.

Still trying to figure out a development strategy, where I can continue to
get OFBIZ updates and build a client site.

Using eCommerce as a base, I created my own GIT project and modified
eCommerce so it was my own, with my site URL.

I discovered that OFBIZ framework / application / order / templates have
direct references back to the eCommerce site.

I'm not understanding how to use OFBIZ as a framework for a custom site.

I had hoped not to change framework source, but to extend it.
