Implementing content page in the ecommerce application

[rhodebump]

Hi everyone,

I have a few informational pages that I need to implement in the ecommerce application.  For example, "History of the business" and "About us"

These pages need to be have the same UI as the ecommerce app (they can use the main-decorator), and I was hoping that I could leverage the Content application to maintain the html content of these pages.  I went into the content application of ofbiz, and I see I can create content of all different types so I am certain the capability is there.

Any tips on where to start?

Thank you!

Sorry Philip,

I would like to help you on that (and actually in the same time learn) but I could not find the time to look at it. Did you have
some success ?

Jacques,
I did just find this thread on the subject.  Sounds like this person dug pretty deep and I do not know if he was successful.

I figured it out and got it working.

What helped me was to follow the setup for how the webstore shows the policies.  
I had to edit the files controller.xml and CommonScreens.xml (look for policies inside these files)  

In addition, I had to add some content items using the content app in ofbiz.  Here is a guide that kind of helped me add the content that I needed to display.

Hope that helps.
