General login?

Hi all!
I'm going to have to demo OFBiz tomorrow, I'm very glad to finally be able to play with the software, and to start trying things out with it. Just wondering: Is there any way to login for the entire site, straight from the start? Or can I set OFBiz to redirect me to a "home" if I try to log in an unauthorized page? (Currently using 10.04) I tried to login in Party Manager with an account given only Catalog permissions, and here is what I encountered: http://grab.by/grabs/8db0ec6b3720a574bdad11261b9b5183.png In my opinion, it is unclear from a user standpoint what exactly is happening here, and why isn't something else happening. The account is registered, the login details are fine too, and there is no mention on the page (save the address bar) that I'm currently trying to login to the Party Manager application. I'm probably going to go with a custom root application that asks for a login, and then just display a custom landing page for the user, showing him the applications he can use both from the menu and with cute little icons, for the sake of simplicity. Might also modify the menu to show the icons inside it. Enough rambling on, back to testing stuffs and preparing my showcase for tomorrow! Thank you! |

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to generate that kind of response, I just wanted to know if there was already an app in ofbiz that was recommended to be mounted at root of the site, to simplify the login process of the users.
I'll check if myportal is such an app, but I doubt it is the universal answer I'm searching for, as with Catalog permission only, the user is unable to user MyPortal (as far as I can see in the app list) On 2010-07-05, at 11:30, Patrick wrote: > Login to https://localhost:8443/myportal/control/main > > or login as admin password ofbiz > > On Mon, Jul 5, 2010 at 9:09 AM, Olivier Tremblay > <[hidden email]> wrote: >> Hi all! >> >> I'm going to have to demo OFBiz tomorrow, I'm very glad to finally be able to play with the software, and to start trying things out with it. >> >> Just wondering: Is there any way to login for the entire site, straight from the start?

In reply to this post by Mr.Zombie
myportal was designed to be the landing page for those loging in.
you might want to study how myportal works. The concept is all information a person with a certian level of security and roles will get a certian set of pages in the myportal. there is one for customer and two for different type of employees. if you study the demo data for myportal and look at the myportal admin in webtools it will get you going in the right idea.

Thanks alot. I looked it up, and it kindof fits what I'm searching for. I think I'll have a go at modifying it myself, eventually, but not for now.
