what you gain in upfront design is lose in maintainence. if an entity is updated, it will not show without using entity aware routines. however if you can write a GWT handler, then it can integrate with ofbiz nicey. Harmeet Bedi sent the following on 8/13/2008 3:01 PM: > One thing that may be wort

One thing that may be worth considering is GWT. We have been evaluating GWT internally and a conclusion we are reaching is that it is significantly more efficient and to develop and maintain with GWT that Ajax, JS, dhtml. The best way to do get into GWT would be create value objects(column nam

David, Thanks for the info. I was looking at the field-group element yesterday but I wasn't sure how it was used. Your explanation helps. I don't have a good example of using conditionals on groups of fields, but the menu widget would be a prime candidate. Think of the application menu and h

In the form widget something similar to what you describe exists. After the field elements you can have a sort-order element which has a sort-field element in it for each field in the order you want it. Those sort-field elements can be put inside a field-group element, and the field-group

I've been thinking about this and I'm wondering if we need a container element for the form and menu widgets, only have it operate more like the section element - so you can have conditionals. That way you could group fields or menu items together, have the group displayed conditionally, and h

thinking on same lines, We should have a set of input boxes that get rendered to meet formating requirements, like For phone number, I'll like to have a form widget that will render countryCode, areaCode, contactNumber input boxes in one row separated by some character like "-". Similarly

Here is my wish list: 1) when you select a value from a drop down box, automatically enable a new drop down box for the selection of further data available after the first selection is done; for example: you select the country, then you have the option to select the state-province in the co

I think we should Ajax/Effects enable widgets where possible. Like, Make Panels collapsable using Effects, Ajax enable Tree widget, Enhance Single form Layout to use div and css, Use Model panel for Lookup windows, Allow display fields to be inline editable etc. Regards Anil Patel On Jun 2,

I would like to add that I do not think ofbiz can ignore the rich internet app technology for long, but maybe it would be better to wait for a shake out till there are 2-3 clear leaders and then choosing the best one and not try to be compatible with others.

Adrian, I cannot resist to your invitation to express a couple of point from my wish list: 1) In the "Smart" table header I would like to see the possibility to change the column order, to remove a column, to add a column selecting the field to be displayed from a list of available fields. The tab
