Best way to extend product
Locked
 
|
Hello,
I'm creating an entity Book to add the relation with author and publisher. The best way to do that is extending the product (how do I do that?) or modifying the product itself (books are the only thing we sell)? Thanks, Petterson |

if I understand you
in terms of ofbiz you have two parties you wish to associate,then connect to a book each party can be part of a Publishers or Author group and/or you can have roles for each you can then link a publisher and author by https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/partymgr/control/linkparty you can also give publishers a supplier role so they can be connected to the product.

You can do it either way
Here's how to extend it: <extend-entity entity-name="Product"> <field name="normallyStocked" type="indicator"/> <field name="orderCost" type="floating-point"/> <field name="alwaysDoEoq" type="indicator"/> </extend-entity> In your case, that is what I would recommend. Just create a folder in hot-deploy beause doubtless you will need to make other modifications and you can keep them all together then.

Best way is to associate the products with roles.
1. Create roles Author and Publisher. 2. Create your Party (Author or Publisher in Party Manager). 3. Associate them with the product with ProductRole. I did this for my site and you can see it working at http://www.ibaazar.com/. You can search the product based on author as well as publisher.

Hi Bruno,
Thanks for your appreciation. We extended the OOTB e-commerce component and did not use any of the view (ftl) components. We could still use most of the bsh file. Rest of it is pretty what is available of the of the box. We created some of the screens like, feature products, best sellers, featured departments etc which are not available OOTB. The strategy we applied was to develop the html mock up first and then integrate the dynamic ftl parts by referring the OOTB e-commerce.

Many thanks Raj,
I do not understand what you mean for "did not use any of the view (ftl) components". As far as I can see the OOTB ecommerce web application is 90% ftl files. You did not use them? (for instance showcart.ftl). Thank you for you patience in explaining to me.... -Bruno 2008/4/19, Raj Saini <[hidden email]>: > > Hi Bruno, > > Thanks for your appreciation. > > We extended the OOTB e-commerce component and did not use any of the view > (ftl) components.

Yes, we created our own html, css, images etc. We referred the OOTB ftl
