Super merci, for consolidation Jacques !
I have read all threads on the UI enhancements and I have alone front my
lack.
If I understand we have some axis of improvement :
* flexibilty to extend ftl macro
* increase the UI interactivity through backbonejs
* Make interface more user friendly with Boostrap + Jquery
All coupled with portlet and we obtains a high permissive interface
without forget he maintainability and the simplicity development.
Ok so just do it :)
For the ftl macro, I'm sure that it's possible to extend the screen
renderer to analyse on the fly the specific attribute need on customer
site. I can start by this point.
