Re: How to use the OFBiz CMS?

Yeah - the CMS rendering on the backend is not working as far as I know - so I stopped using that a while back. I've got a site based on it though, but it's not exactly simple to describe how it's setup. I believe that there is an example in the demo stuff which is how mine got built.


Cheers,
Tim

Tim,
many thanks for your help.
The way you indicate is exactly how I am doing it right now. But, I guess,
this is not the CMS way of doing it.
I mean, what I was looking for, is the steps to have an HTML page loaded in
the DB from the content application UI and served at the url
/ecommerce/control/cms/xxxxx

Many thanks anyway

I just:

1. Make a screen using the ecomm decorator with a name like "aboutus"
2. Then I have a small piece of HTML in an FTL file that gets rendered like
this:

  <screen name="aboutus">
      <section>
          <actions>
              <set field="leftbarScreenName" value="leftbar"/>
              <set field="MainColumnStyle" value="center"/>
              <set field="title-property" value="PageTitleMain"/>
              <set field="headerItem" value="aboutus"/>
          </actions>
          <widgets>
              <decorator-screen name="main-decorator"
location="${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}">
                  <decorator-section name="body">
                      <platform-specific>
                          <html><html-template
location="component://project/webapp/project/snippets/aboutus.ftl"/ ></html>
                      </platform-specific>
                  </decorator-section>
              </decorator-screen>
          </widgets>
      </section>
  </screen>
Pretty simple. This will do something static - but mostly I drive them
from the db.

Cheers,
Tim

Since I only needed few pages I would have been more than happy to use the
OFBiz embedded CMS.

But I cannot make a single page appear anywhere...:-(
...and no help, not a single how-to...
...has anybody ever used the OFBiz CMS out there?
Does anybody have a list of steps to have a simple static HTML rendered
with
the same ecommerce style?

Many thanks for any help,

Using Drupal or some other CMS with OFBiz is common.
We use Drupal for our public facing site, but it is not connected to
OFBiz.

Another option that I am considering is to use Drupal as CMS and link it

the OFBIz ecommerce. I have already used Drupal and OFBiz is already

So it should be quite simple to go on this solution but I would prefer
to
use all functionality offered by OFBiz.
