New site: Content-based - Be gentle

[Gavin Mabie]

Hi community

 

I have been working with Ofbiz for a while now and eventually managed to
launch a site for a very supportive client - albeit a very important one in
the context of Research in South Africa.  My client is a major funder of
research in the country and I recommended that they use Ofbiz for the online
Emerging Researchers Network website.  You can check it out at
http://ern.nrf.ac.za.  Please provide some feedback if you can - I know most
of you are extremely busy - but be gentle.  Some details of the
implementation:

Os:  Linux Ubuntu;

Httpd:  Apache2;

Ofbiz modules: Content; WorkEffort (Calendar and Project); Parties etc.  We
have not implemented ecommerce or other major ERP functionalities at this
stage and might never - but Content is the one that counts here.  I have
developed customised applications for featured articles (based on OOT blogs)
and some other stuff.

database: MySql 5.1;

 

Thanks to all the people that responded to my annoying requests over the
last six months.

 

Please provide feedback - it's a work in progress.

 

Regards

 

Gavin

Hi Gavin,

Just a quick answer for now. Great, I like very much to see "Powered by Apache OFBiz" in footers :o)

Could you please fill (or ask to fill):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+Stories

And if you are interested
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+List

Thanks

Jacques

Gavin,

One quick note: you can (and probably should) remove the "Copyright ... The Apache Software Foundation..." line. That copyright would represent the content of the page, which is clearly not owned by the ASF.

It is in the OOTB templates, though I've wondered if we shouldn't remove it since any deployment, other than perhaps the demo instances, should have it removed as content coming from the DB/etc would not be under that copyright.

Hi Gavin,

Well done!

In my opinion you should move all actions that require a login or a
registration behind a SSL tunnel so that these actions start with https://

Hi Gavin,

Thanks I have rather put your "Ofbiz Content Manager Rocks" page into the lain page and remove your page.
I have also cleaned things a bit there (notably Nick Rosser participation)

You might want to put the site in https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+List if you get a chance
