Help Needed.

Abhijeet Pandey
Hi,

       We are actually looking to build a E-commerce site quickly and
someone told me about "Ofbiz". and i must say that i was pretty impress
about the feature list that it offers.

But i found the documentation part bit confusing. Can you tell me from where
i should start and what will be the steps to follow which can help me to
achieve my goals.Can i get one PDF file which tells me the step to follow
for the same.

Any help for this will be appreciated.
Please guide me and sorry for the trouble which it may cause you.

Thanks,

Hello Abhijeet:
I have written an introductory book - currently in draft form - that you
may download covering some very basic OFBiz eCommerce features. Please
feel free to download it at: http://www.myofbiz.com. You will need to
fill out the survey as requested - but the download, a PDF, is free.
This is an end-User guide and not a developer's manual.

FYI - I am actively working on the second part to this book - an indepth
User guide to the Catalog Manager. (The Catalog Manager is the
application used to configure most of the eCommerce site.) Look for
availability sometime late next month. (I hope :-)

Regards,
Ruth

The documents that have been around for a while and that may be what  
you are looking for related to the setup of OFBiz are:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

There are a lot of other documents out there on various topics. You  
mention "my goals" and didn't say a whole lot about what those goals  
were. If you send more detailed information someone might be able to  
point you more directly to a helpful document.

Hi BJ:
I'm not sure where to put this. Any suggestions?
Also, I'd like to put something under the "Book" section of the Apache
site (http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Related+Books) but it
doesn't appear as though I can edit that page.

Regards,
Ruth

For that page you'll have to submit the changes you'd like (preferably  
via a Jira issue, though an email to the mailing list will do for  
those) and then a committer can update the content there.

Hey Ruth,

I took the survey, it took me to the button "download". But it did not work. It goes to blank page.

Thanks.

open up with.

Ok, easy fix. A typo on my part. Please try again. (Unfortunately you
will have to take the survey again - right now the site is not too
intelligent about previous visits. Hope to fix that when I get a chance.)
I just tried and it works - but if you are still having problems, PLEASE
let me know.
