Re: Visual Themes Gallery

[Sanjay Yadav]

I agree with Micheal's comment on the document, we should keep and update
the page.

We should maintain document by dividing it into two parts:

   1. Most recent/up-to-date themes - In top/first part of the page.
   2. Old/Unsupported themes - In second part of the page.

Re: Visual themes and gradlew

[Tim Hawkins]

I would like to say that the suggestion by mike cleared up the issue and
now my template is loading and displaying, so i can now head off and start
creating my theme. I will be also implementing the suggestion from Pierre.

A couple more related questions.

1. Do I need to clear the caches each time i change the .tpl files on
ofbiz?
2. If I add new assets, and update the manifest file (ThemeData), do i need
to reload the data?

Re: Visual themes and gradlew

[Pierre Smits]

Hi Tim,

The best approach (for production environments) is, when initialising your
implementation, to only load data designated as 'seed' and 'seed-initial'
once. And for loading the rest of the data sets (such as your
implementation specifics) to use the import functionalities provided
through the system and data admin tools (via webtools).

See: https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/webtools/control/xmldsdump

Re: Visual themes and gradlew

[Jacques Le Roux]

Thanks Mike,

Importing a file is a good practice. Tim, if you need to import several files, better to register them (in your ofbiz-component.xml) as ext and not 
seed, see entityengine.xml for more about that, here is an extract


tenant   = OFBiz and External Tenant Data
seed = OFBiz and External Seed Data - to be maintained along 
with source and updated whenever a system deployment is updated
seed-initial = OFBiz and External Seed Data - to be maintained along with source like other seed data, but only loaded initially and not 
updated when a system is updated except manually reviewing each line

demo = OFBiz Only Demo Data
ext  = External General Data (custom)
ext-test = External Test Data (custom)
ext-demo = External Demo Data (custom)

Because you left the reader-name="seed":



To load it, you have to:

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed"

I'm a beginner to of-biz, and I have been trying to edit the eCommerce

I first copied the template for "multiflex" a new version called
"asmultiflex"

so i have a copy of the whole tree under templates/asmultiflex

Then I edited the the file

  themes/asmultiflex/ofbiz-component.xml
  and changed all references to "asmultiflex" I also changed the name of the
file in the Data directory to match, ie

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="

Then i renamed the MultiflexThemeData.xml file in themes/asmultiflex/data
to AsmultiflexThemeData.xml and edited ti to be:



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


So far so good. I did notice that inside the webapp folder there was a
complete copy of the files in the root, and was not sure what to do with
them.

Accessing this from the web-store config page i can see that the theme is
not loaded or recognized. However there are no instructions on how to do
this with the gradlew tool, so i tried

sudo ./gradelw "ofbiz --load file=templates/asmultiflex/
ofbiz-component.xml"

This produced a bunch of errors (added at the end)  and clearly did not
load the theme, as its still not accessible.  The questions i need
answering are:

1) Is this correct for duplication a theme, I followed the instructions in
the how to up until it started talking about using "ant"

2) Is the the mechanism i have used to load it valid, if not what is the
correct method.

3) is there any better documentation around that relates to tasks on a post
gradlew version. I have considered reverting to a much older version just
to be aligned with the documentation and the two books I have purchased
which turned out be as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Is there any howto guides on how to setup and configure of-biz for a simple
web store, the docs in confluence seem to be very incomplete and make way
too many assumptions about what the reader knows.

I managed to get it installed on ubuntu 14.05, running version 16.11.01,
using a MySQL database and using apache2 with a mod_proxy_ajp setup with
letsencrypt providing the ssl certs.  But this last step has me flumoxed.

Any advice on the setup of a workflow for developing the themes would also
be helpful.

Errors produced are:

thawkins@ofbiz-lon-yousoc:/opt/apache-ofbiz-16.11.01$ sudo ./gradlew
"ofbiz
--load file=themes/asmultiflex/ofbiz-component.xml"

... Lots of normal stuff

Re: Visual themes and gradlew

Because you left the reader-name="seed":



To load it, you have to:

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data readers=seed"

Which reloads ALL the seed, including yours

--or-- (better) Load it directly:

gradlew "ofbiz --load-data file=RELATIVE_PATH/data/AsmultiflexThemeData.xml"

Re: Visual Themes in wiki

Actually, as I explained to Ron, the comments where not about what you 
mentioned, but only on how to change the default backend theme.
But it was a good idead so I put your suggestion in a comment to not lose the 
idea

Le 16/10/2014 17:25, Adrian Crum a écrit :
When the Visual Theme feature was first introduced, it was suggested that OFBiz should have an application where you can create a new visual theme 
easily. The application would provide a means to upload CSS & JS files, templates, etc.


No one has contributed that application, so the comment is still valid.

It looks like there are some tasks that are identified on the first
reference.
1) There is a link to a script in a JIRA. Is this script something than
belongs as part of  an administration task

2) In the comments, there is a request for a proper theme administration
tool

Are these comments still valid?
The comments on the page date back to 2009 (5 years). Having comments
from 2 or 3 revisions back are confusing since one can not tell if they
apply to the current version or not.

Can someone remove the ones that have been addressed and create JIRA
issues to get the unresolved issues onto the task list and link the page
to the outstanding JIRA items where it makes sense.

It looks like there are some tasks that are identified on the first reference.
1) There is a link to a script in a JIRA. Is this script something than belongs 
as part of  an administration task


It's a possible help to copy one theme to a new one beside the manual way which 
shows below.
I'm not quite sure it's up to date. I don't know if people use it.



2) In the comments, there is a request for a proper theme administration tool


Nope, it's was only about changing the default theme, which is now easily 
handled by a property in general.properties as I changed in the page



Are these comments still valid?


Nope I removed all of them

Jacques

The comments on the page date back to 2009 (5 years). Having comments from 2 or 3 revisions back are confusing since one can not tell if they apply 
to the current version or not.


Can someone remove the ones that have been addressed and create JIRA issues to get the unresolved issues onto the task list and link the page to the 
outstanding JIRA items where it makes sense.

Re: Visual Themes in wiki

[Mike]

Speaking of themes, I was really upset when the ofbiz developers "yanked"
out the original backend theme for ofbiz designed by Dave.  It was
elegantly simplistic and functional, and also many books were written
showing it.

The reasons?  Time to move on, time to upgrade, needs a newer polished
look, bla bla bla.  All of the newer themes are not as good as the original.

At the time, ALL documentation, ALL examples, ALL books had oldschool as
screenshot examples.

Yes, I know "oldschool" is still available, and I do use it, but it does
demonstrate that the few commiters blatantly make substantial changes (on a
whim) w/o consulting the community or even thinking things through.

Re: Visual Themes in wiki

[Adrian Crum]

When the Visual Theme feature was first introduced, it was suggested 
that OFBiz should have an application where you can create a new visual 
theme easily. The application would provide a means to upload CSS & JS 
files, templates, etc.


No one has contributed that application, so the comment is still valid.

Re: Visual Themes

[Scott Gray]

Ah okay sorry, the general.properties setting only applies if the  
UserPreference record from CommonTypeData.xml that you mentioned is  
missing.


Also the wiki looks wrong to me, it should be partyId="_NA_" and not  
partyId="NA"


Once you've changed the CommonTypeData.xml file you'll need to run ant  
run-install-seed


ant run-install should only be used when you have an empty database  
since it also loads seed-initial data which should only be loaded once  
per install.

Re: Visual themes error

[Eric DE MAULDE]

Resolved

The problem was into USER_PREFERENCE table
with
   user_login_id='admin'
   user_pref_type_id='VISUAL_THEME'
   user_pref_value='DEFAULT'

I changed user_pref_value into by ex. "FLAT_GREY"

Where does 'DEFAULT' come from : seed data ?

Hello,

My development server works fine.
But my production server (same official trunk version
768363) has a problem with visual themes.

After I logged into any applications, the page doesn't
have an header, footer and appbar :

"Error rendering included template at location
[component://common/webcommon/includes/header.ftl]:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: FreeMarker file not

[component://common/webcommon/includes/appbar.ftl]:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: FreeMarker file not
found at location:

The error message is :

org.ofbiz.entity.transaction.GenericTransactionException:
The current transaction is marked for rollback, not

Into ${ofbiz
directory}/framework/common/widget/CommonScreens.xml, there
are (I think) wrong default values :





Because default files don't exist.

I don't know why 2 servers runs differently with the
same official trunk version (768363)

Roel,
a VisualTheme can have several type of VisualThemeResource associated.
Those can be found in the file:
\framework\common\data\CommonTypeData.xml

For your convenience here they are:

Yes, there is a short list with six VisualThemeResources in the
