How to show featured products
 
|
I have been looking at the demodata, and the behavour of the
ecommerce-screen. I have spent hours to understand why some products shows up at the featured main ecommerce screen, for example GZ-2644. For example GZ-2002 does not. Secondly there are three catalogs, but only two of these shows up in the ecommerce screen. When I start from scratch and registering my catalogs, cathegories and products. None of these shows up on the ecommerce screen. I am puzzled. I have been looking at the documentation, but nothing there gives any insight into how ecommerce-screen is connected to the katalog-screens. Could anyone please send a link that could open this jammed problem. Thanks Torstein Hegbom |

Yes, but that did not dive into any details. I know this sounds odd, but I
found that having two catalogs results in that the "Choose Catalog"-screenlet becomes visible. If I build a hierarchy of categories, then the "browse categories" becomes visible. The last mile is to understand what to do for the featured products becomes visible. I would be greate to undetand how this works and why it is this way. Maybe it is me using the system wrongly. :o) Thanks Torstein Hegbom -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: David E Jones [mailto:[hidden email]] Sendt: 4. juni 2009 20:44 Til: [hidden email] Emne: Re: How to show featured products Have you looked at this document? http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide -David On Jun 4, 2009, at 11:50 AM, Torstein Hegbom wrote: > I have been looking at the demodata, and the behavour of the > ecommerce-screen.

Thanks. I am starting to understand how this works now, but I need a few
more days using the method that you describe below. Actually it would be possible to write an application that could create the xml-files needed for a quick load of the products. I was thinking about some visual tables, in the direction of excel-spreadsheet. Then it will become easier to get to grips with loading data. What data that should in each category, promotions and relations between categories.

By "featured products" do you mean the ecommerce home/main page? That is basically just a template that does a category display, and the category is looked up as one associated to a catalog. The demo data has a category with the ID "PROMOTIONS" and if you add products to that category they'll show up on the main page. If you're feeling brave try browsing/searching through the DemoProduct.xml file... it is where this and other demo data comes from and you can learn about lots of features and options in a short amount of time by glancing through it, especially since the XML element names (just entity names in the OFBiz data model) correspond to the labels in the UI, so it's fairly easy to search and browse for stuff. -David > I would be greate to undetand how this works and why it is this way. > > Maybe it is me using the system wrongly. :o) > > Thanks > > Torstein Hegbom > > -----Opprinnelig melding----- > Fra: David E Jones [mailto:[hidden email]] > Sendt: 4. juni 2009 20:44 > Til: [hidden email] > Emne: Re: How to show featured products > > > Have you looked at this document? > > http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide > > -David > > > On Jun 4, 2009, at 11:50 AM, Torstein Hegbom wrote: > >> I have been looking at the demodata, and the behavour of the >> ecommerce-screen.

Now, I finally understand how this works.
