Re: Product Page redirects to Ecommerce component because value is hardcoded - what should be the case with Multiple Custom ecommerce component?

2010-02-14 Thread Bilgin Ibryam




How that preview is accomplished - that is a different store. I would 
expect that it shouldn't depend on the ecommerce store at all but 
rather a template used to create the catalog/category totally 
independent of the store.
I remember an old discussion where we agreed on copying some of the 
product screens from ecommerce to order manager. I think the same should 
be done here too ie a separate template for product preview in catalog 
application.
I also like Bruno's idea about merging menus. It would be a nice 
addition to product preview screen.

Product Page redirects to Ecommerce component because value is hardcoded - what should be the case with Multiple Custom ecommerce component?

2010-02-13 Thread Ashish Vijaywargiya
Hello,

On the backend catalog application we have a link Product Page
button for navigating to the Product Detail page in Ecommerce
Component.
http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/9707/productpage.png

https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/EditProduct?productId=GZ-2644

The value for ecommerce component is hardcoded on the link.

link target=/ecommerce/control/product url-mode=inter-app
text=${uiLabelMap.ProductProductPage} style=buttontext
parameter param-name=product_id from-field=productId/
/link

So if we create custom application then this page redirect to the
ecommerce application, which is not correct IMO. If we talk about
single custom application then we can maintain a patch and can fix
this line of code.
But how should we handle the case when we have multiple custom
component and we may need to redirect to the custom ecommerce
component that doesn't have ecommerce as a mount point and that
contains this specific product that we are editing.

How can we handle this scenario?
Do we have any settings in OFBiz that can be used to handle this case?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

2010-02-13 Thread BJ Freeman
I have not thought this through all the way yet.
Plus David is working on a Multiple hosting solution so his approach may
not be the same.
First consideration is do you want the catalog to be independent of the
product store, say like for just a user login.
Not sure of the best practices about where to place actual links
Each Ecommerce has a web.xml and ofbiz-component.xml
The Web.xml lets you define parameters to be used in that specific
component. so you can use a parameter there.
you could consider taking data from the webapp in the ofbiz-component.xml.

it also has productstore entity and Website Entity.
if all your catalogs will be tied to a product store, you might use the
website entity as a source.

my 2cents

However as we move more to the cms oriented products data
maybe need to think if there is a way to accomplish this with the CMS

Hi Jacques:
It is really nice to be able to view the full product page as it should 
be rendered in-situ.  What I mean is, the person who is entering in the 
product information should have full visibility into how the product 
will look on the website before it is published. Sort-of a draft view. 
It's not a good idea to wait until the catalog gets published on the web 
site to find problems with the display.

True, I was thinking they could tweak the URL as soon as they are aware (after all they have the information). It's all about 
information, make me think of REST, which these URLs are really. But a button is certainly easier for a lambda user, I agree.

Component.
http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/9707/productpage.png

https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/EditProduct?productId=GZ-2644


The value for ecommerce component is hardcoded on the link.

link target=/ecommerce/control/product url-mode=inter-app
text=${uiLabelMap.ProductProductPage} style=buttontext
   parameter param-name=product_id from-field=productId/
/link

So if we create custom application then this page redirect to the
ecommerce application, which is not correct IMO. If we talk about
single custom application then we can maintain a patch and can fix
this line of code.
But how should we handle the case when we have multiple custom
component and we may need to redirect to the custom ecommerce
component that doesn't have ecommerce as a mount point and that
contains this specific product that we are editing.

How can we handle this scenario?
Do we have any settings in OFBiz that can be used to handle this
case?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
