Hi everyone,

Is there a specific way I can tie in apache ofbiz to a web app I'm developing.

In a nutshell the ofbiz will be used to create the mrp and assist in automating the manufacturing process and the web app will serve as functionality to actually order the case.

E.g on iPhone the user downloads the app opens the app then they press order now, and once clicked
It will direct them to the a page requiring them to enter all of the necessary personal details and automatically checks credit rating , and proof of address and other details  (all of the requirements will be specifically set up) just need to understand how I go about doing this?

And recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Sharan,

I am from Ghana and looking to use Ofbiz but have some challenges getting
started.
In-fact I just bought your getting started with apache ofbiz accounting
book for version 13.07.
I will love to collaborate with others.
Any training out there to help people understand the architecture? I am
especially interested in the content management and entity engine to start
with.

Thanks

Hi Gavin

No worries and sorry for the delayed response (I was away for the last few
days myself!). I've sent you an email with the contact details and hope
this one works out.

Thanks

Hi guys

I'me here.  Apologies - I've been extremely busy and haven't had time to
service the mailing lists recently. I'm very wary about following up on
these kind of requests, simply because I'm yet to encounter someone in
the
region who is committed to invest time, energy and resources into a huge
project like Ofbiz. Most are looking for quick turnaround times - which
is
not possible with Ofbiz.  Zimbabwe is particularly challenging since they
have all sorts of problems with multiple currencies (the use the UD$,
ZIM$
and ZAR).  Having said that - you are welcome to refer them to me Sharan.

Regards

Gavin

Hi Jacques

I responded to this a couple of days ago but for some reason it didn't
come through - so am resending.

They are in Harare, Zimbabwe and I did contact Gavin but didn't get a
response so he might be away.  I'm also interested to see if we do
have any
community members in the region...

Thanks

I've received an email from someone based in Africa who is looking
to
get started with OFBiz and promote its use for small businesses there.
Do
we have any existing African users in our community that would be
interested in collaborating on this? (If so I will pass on the contact
details).

Thanks
Sharan

Hi Sharan,

Apart Gavin Mabie and people in Magreb I don't know any people. I was
once (in 2008) approached to make a training session in Cameroon but
it was
a
scam to get pro forma invoices I think

So it really depends on the location of your contact...

Jacques

I've done it with a java based ERP running on MySQL with PHP, but don't
know enough about the OFBiz db to try it here yet. I don't see why you
couldn't hit the underlying db from a web server though, regardless of
what the db backend is. In my situation, it was a quoting app. I granted
a user select privs from the IP of a web server in the building, and
also had a second db that kept the customer, quote#, items and qtys.

Hi Craig,

Thanks for the response!

I'll look into reaching the ofbiz db using a web server!

Hopefully I'll be able able to solve it!

Thanks H
