About options in ecommerce header bar

[Suresh Yellamaraju]

Hi

New to OFBiz and finding my way around. So sorry if this is a repeat or
known.

Is it the intention (for product features demonstration reasons) that the
ecommerce web application shows the menu options of order history, profile,
quotes, ... when user is not logged in? Clicking on these links seems to be
doing the right thing of asking the user to login.

Noticed the following line in header.ftl of the ecommerce web application
that seems to allow that to happen.

<#if !userLogin?has_content || (userLogin.userLoginId)?if_exists !=
"anonymous">

Thanks!

Whoever built the original ecommerce demo would be best to answer this.
IMO, this has been maintained for the reason you state: To highlight
OFBiz features/functions. In implementations I have been involved with,
we have not displayed these links unless a user is logged in.

This check is provided to show the features in the ecommerce front end
component to the logged in users as well as to the one who are not
logged in. And Yes, this was done intentionally.
