Thanks Taher, Your explanations are sharper than mine, I was on the consistency benefit, you explain about technical benefits. Anyway, I'll provide also the explanation drawing and screenshot of the UI consistency benefits. That is as important as the technical part :) Have a nice day,

Very good initiative. I see lots of discussions of technology part. So I will not add on that part. I would like to give some inputs on our approach to make UI/UX of OFBiz better. As Jacopo also suggested to take small step at a time, I would say we start with one use story at a time and then

Hi Sharan, Thanks for starting this thread. I really liked the idea of doing OFBiz meet ups or events. Events can be specific to any topic. Few ways we can organise these events are: 1) Invite people from business community and help them to understand how they can use Apache OFBiz for free to

Hi all, This is really a good thread and I see lots of good discussions. I liked inputs given by Taher to increase the adaptability of OFBiz. Recently I met few end users who are looking for Open Source ERP options, however they are not choosing Apache OFBiz. When I asked Why ? I got few

I'm sure Julien has good ideas on how to move things about and I'll let gim express those, I just want to add a conceptual frame for why probably both Julien and myself sort of agree on the seperation of FTL templates from screen widgets, so here goes ... Aside from the great data model and

Hi Julien, thanks for your explanations. It is indeed difficult to explain and understand, I suggest to provide some kind of diagram or maybe some very simple examples, if you can. Please also have in mind that we need to have a migration plan from old to new and we should be able to run

It's a proposal for best practices, because of my own experience on making new theme and the impact for a consistency UI. For example, party details screen is a patchwork of xml screens and ftl screens. If you manage to change the HTML structure of a form, it'll affect only xml screen thanks

I am wondering how to understand this: better to not use ftl elsewhere than in macro Is not every ftl template providing macro functionalities? Do you desire that this project moves away from using ftl templates in any other place than in a theme? Best regards, Pierre Smits ORRTIZ.COM

If I understand well, yes. All html structure must be managed by the theme. In OOTB, it could be really better to not use ftl elsewhere than in macro. This is a way that could be good to follow to have consistency for all screens in OFBiz. Julien. On 06/12/2016 11:59, Pierre Smits wrote:
