ApacheCon2010 and the new OFBiz Cookbook

[Ruth Hoffman-2]

  Hi All:
Just a quick announcement that I hope won't ruffle too many feathers:

I'm going to give away at least one copy of the new OFBiz Cookbook that
I authored for Packt at ApacheCon2010 this year. (That is if the ASF
doesn't find a way to stop me.) I'll have a drawing at my talk (1:00pm
on Wed) that anyone who attends can enter. At the end of the session
I'll draw a name from those entered and give away the book. No strings
attached except you've gotta stay for my talk :-)

If you're interested, I've done an opinion piece about the book, Packt
and this give-away here:
http://www.myofbiz.com/control/blog/RuthHoffman. [Unfortunately, I
haven't got the comments part of the blog working yet and I'm pretty
busy with a paying customer right now...but maybe by show time I'll have
that fixed and we can start a discussion about the book.]

Hopefully see some of you there!

Regards,
Ruth Hoffman

Hi Ruth - congratulations on finishing the book!  Another welcome
addition to the ofbiz suite of documentation!

Congratulations Ruth,

I will buy the book but i am afraid there will be again a lot of taxes on it
when entering Europe.
I hope the price will not double at the end as it does with some books of
Amazon.com.

There are no other ways to pay and receive the book , i think?

Regards,
Heidi

  Hi Heidi:
I don't have any control over the pricing or distribution. Sorry.

It is available directly from packt as an ebook, if that helps.  I got
it in both ebook and paper formats, but I'm still waiting for paper.

Hello guys,

I have one coupon question.
Do you guys know if there is a way to set a promo so it "cannot be
combined with other offers?

I want to issue two coupons, and don't want user to use two coupons for
one order.

Thank you so much for in advance.

Regards,
Vicky

[Mukesh Marathe-4]

Hi Vicky,

If you have more than two coupons and wanted to apply the only one
coupon at a time, then this functionality is not available
out-of-the-box you will have to customize the code to apply only one
coupon at a time.

Hi Mukesh,

Thanks a lot for your answer.
 From your answer, now I know what we currently support. Probably I'll
customize it later.

Regards,
Vicky

Hi Ruth,

I have another review comment.

On page 258 you are talking about Delegator.findList(). It says:
"The delegator.findList() method returns a Java List or null if no
values are found".

This is not correct. It returns an empty list if no values are found -
see EntityListIterator.getCompleteList().

I'm quite happy about this behavior, so it's not necessary to always
check for null.

René Scheibe
