Hi Ruth,
I think we're talking about different things here, Goran has successfully
changed the image (admittedly using less than ideal means) but the problem is
that the css isn't accommodating his image size in the way that he would like
Actually, the CM version worked a little better. It was easier to see
when an image didn't fit in properly.
Regarding the image selection, as discussed previously the image is changeable
via the theme, problem is that no one has built a UI for configuring themes as
yet. I understand your frustration but there isn't really anything I can do
about it.
All the more reason it should never have been removed from the CM.

Hi Scott:
With all due respect and not to beat a dead horse, but the point about getting your
"hands dirty" is exactly why this should never have been changed. It worked
like a charm in 4.0. And there is no reason why a new OFBiz user shouldn't be able to
load up an image and use it as a logo for the store using the existing store management
application - the Catalog Manager. We can do that for product images, why not store
images?

Ruth

The image is most likely sized via the css file for the page:

Here you'll have to get your hands dirty I'm afraid, but it's pretty much
unavoidable if you want your store to look in any way different from the demo
store.

Yey! It worked.
Now if I can just figure out why my gif picture is not showing up properly
as the ofbizLogo.gif, I will have reached my first milestone.
I will read the technical production setup guide, and a couple of others
before I ask more questions.
Thanks very much,
Goran

Sorry I missed the rest of the settings:
framework/base/config/ofbiz-containers.xml
Find the container named catalina-container and within that the following
two property elements: http-connector and https-connector and change the
port properties to 80 and 443 respectively.
You'll find some other useful information in this document:

Scott,
That actually did not work. After I modify the port in url.properties
and
setting it to 80, I can not access the web site with the domain only. I
can
still access the web site using port 8080, but not without it. I
restarted
the server after making the modification.
I also tried another random port (8088), with the same result.
Which leads me to believe that changing the port in url.properties does
not
impact the port being used, *unless: *do I need to recompile/rebuild the
whole thing in order for the port change to take effect?
Or, is there some other place that I also need to change the port from
8080
to 80.
Sorry for being such a newbie.
Thanks again,
Goran

Hi Goran:
You don't need to do that. You can go to the ofbiz-component.xml file
for
the ecommerce component (~specialpurpose/ecommerce) and change the
mount-point entry to be mount-point="/".
Hope that helps.

Actually, now that you helped me figure this out, I can probably do
some
kind of DNS mapping through GoDaddy to get down to www.mydomain.com.
When I figure it out, I will report back.

Hi,
Just trying to get started on OfBiz. First impression: not much
documentation to go on.
I was able to get the vanilla OfBiz running, but:
1) I can't get to it via a domain name. I can get to it on the
intranet,
via the intranet IP address: http://
<local-ip>:8080/ecommerce<http://%3clocal-ip%3e:8080/ecommerce>
(also
using "localhost" instead of <local-ip>). I can get to it externally
via my
router's WAN IP address: http://<wan-ip>:8080/ecommerce<http://
%3cwan-ip%3e:8080/ecommerce>.
But, I can't get to it via www.mydomain.com.
I made sure there are no firewalls blocking this. I opened up TCP
ports
80, 8080, and the https port on my router.
Can anyone help with this, please?
2) I purchased Ms.Hoffman's catalog book, but it refers to oFBiz 4.
I
downloaded oFBiz 9 (current), and in it, there is no place to change
the
logo on a store (whereas it was clearly available in OfBiz 4) (!).
Why
would this be removed? So I proceeded to overwrite the
ofbizLogo.gif
with
one of my own, and I can see that it replaced the ofbiz logo, but it
is
not
showing properly. Is there some resolution requirements on the logo
or
any
other image displayed on the web page?
Thanks,
Goran
