OFBiz / BigFish eCommerce Updates

[Scott Gray-2]

Awesome thanks Nick.  

By "re-used" I meant the possibility of any code that has been borrowed or used as a basis for your code that may be incompatibly licensed.  If you don't think there is any then that's fine, I just wanted to mention it as something we'll have to check for regardless if anything was to move into OFBiz proper.

Thanks
Scott

Nick - Your efforts with Bigfish and your intent to contribute back to
ofbiz with ASLv2 are highly appreciable; Thankyou

Understood that Bigfish has Admin module of its own, however, Do you
intend to keep Bigfish eCommerce compatible with Ofbiz Management
Applications <Order Manager, Catalog Manager>; in other words, is it
possible to use Bigfish eCommerce along with Ofbiz Manager
applications <of a particular version>

Appreciate the great efforts again!

-Regards
Sakthi

You can use both BF admin and the OFBiz admin modules simultaneously and independently of each other.

[Nick Rosser]

Sanjeev,

Not sure if that is a question or a statement. If it's a statement
you're 100% correct :-)

Absolutely.

The Admin Module is intended to provide business users with an
easy-to-use interface so they can manage their eCommerce business.
Maintain content, catalog, orders, customers, etc. without having to
jump through hoops using OFBiz OOTB (which was never really intended to
be used by business users).

Our high-level approach has been to "expose" various features of the
OFBiz OOTB back-end into the BigFish Admin Module one at a time. We're
constantly exposing new functionality and enhancing the BigFish Admin
Module.

On our website http://bigfish.salmonllc.com (DEMO tab) you'll see for
each demo instance that we also have a link to access the OFBiz OOTB
interface. The intent here is to illustrate that everything fits into
the OFBiz model. You can use the Admin Module to easily manage your
data, but in a crunch, and if you have the knowledge, you can always
jump into OFBiz OOTB and really see what's going on. We do this all the
time to double-check that the Admin Module functionality is working
correctly.

Best Regards,

Nick Rosser

Understood; Thanks Nick, for prompt response;

Would you recommend downloads available from your website <currently
Bigfish-eCommerce-v0.2> as Production ready; in other words do you
intend to keep separate copies
- Latest copy for devs
- Stable copy for users
 or otherwise.

- Regards
Sakthi

Sakthi,

Our process is fairly rigorous internally in that we have daily builds
from SVN, and our QA team are constantly testing new features and
performing regression testing. You may be interested to know that we
have fairly complete specs for all functionality both on the eCommerce
side and for the Admin Module. It's quite a formal process from start to
finish.

That said, and as proud as we are of our process, we're not quite at the
point of having "certified branches" that we release to the
http://bigfish.salmonllc.com demo area. It's simply a matter of too many
tasks in the queue, and various implementation and delivery pressures
for our client releases.

When we release to bigfish.salmonllc.com I would say that this is
/fairly /stable user release. It typically is to illustrate new
functionality and is a copy from one of our QA servers. When the
development frenzy calms down we'll be in a better position to have
"stable user" and "dev" versions of the code base available. We're not
there yet ....

To answer your specific question "Would you recommend downloads
available from your website <currently Bigfish-eCommerce-v0.2> as
Production ready " I wouldn't be so brave to certify this code base as
"production ready" but it's pretty close and should be relatively
bug-free. Feel free to report any issues and we'll take care of them.

Best Regards,

Nick Rosser

All,

The latest release of our OFBiz / BigFish eCommerce platform is available.

For more details please visit http://bigfish.salmonllc.com, the "Demo"
section will provide a good overview of both an eCommerce implementation
and the BigFish Admin Module.

Of particular note, in this release:

  * Support for Mobile (small devices)
      o a very cool implementation!
      o implemented for the Fashion House demo
        (http://bigfish.salmonllc.com:8082/online/shop/main)
      o whenever the browser screen size gets to 450 pixels or less then
        the "small device CSS" will kick-in (so called "responsive")
      o try resizing your browser down to 450 pixels wide, try from a
        phone, it works!
      o a little rough at the edges, we will be fine tuning this over
        the coming month or so

  * Feeds, Services and Scheduled Jobs
      o a significant amount of work has been done in this area
      o many services and scheduled jobs built around clients who want a
        BigFish eCommerce front-end solution but also need to continue
        using their existing ERP solution for fulfillment
      o scheduled jobs to extract New Customers, New Orders and import
        into the back-end ERP
      o scheduled jobs to accept new files from clients for Product
        Updates, Order Status Updates and Store Locator updates

  * Smart Variant Feature Awareness
      o Ability to understand a primary feature, associate to a specific
        variant and act accordingly
      o examples from the Fashion House demo:
          + search for "pink", if there is a pink colored variant it
            will be shown (try "white", you'll see the same product but
            the white variant will be displayed)
          + facets: click on a "red" facet filter, all products with a
            red variant will show the red version
          + sticky: if the list page is showing a specific variant (blue
            color) then the detail page will show the same
      o all configurable, not just for "color" although this would seem
        the natural usage given that this feature will naturally lead to
        variant specific imagery

  * Help System in Admin Module
      o The beginnings of a BigFish Admin Module help system
      o We have help for the functional pages
      o But our focus will continue to be in the "How To" and "Guides" areas
      o Basically approach is that the Admin screens are pretty self
        explanatory, but how to do something from a business point of
        view is more difficult to understand because several aspects of
        the Admin Module may be involved
      o Check out the first How-To and General-Guides, click on "Help"
        in any Admin Module instance

  * Performance / Scalability
      o Many changes to take advantage of OFBiz caching
      o Everything cached in the eComm implementation, nothing cached in
        the Admin Module
      o We couldn't find any useful documentation for this ... if anyone
        is interested we have a help document available

And many smaller tweaks, fixes and enhancements As always, questions and
comments are welcome.

Best Regards,

Nick Rosser

Mike,

Thanks for the encouragement! We'll be looking to do more regular
updates on progress from this point forward ... targeting every month or
two.

We're particularly excited about the mobile solution -- really a
solution for "small device" in general. The first iteration is pretty
impressive, needs a few tweaks to really polish up the solution.

Best Regards,

Nick Rosser

Duong,

What are you trying to do? If you go to the demo site directly it should
work on both a browser and a small device.

Hi Nick,

The Ofbiz/BigFish is run well in your server for mobile device browser. I
want to test for myself with latest version 1.08, but it did not work with
small device.

Please advise.

Duong.

Duong,

The "small device" solution is not automatically configured from the
download. It's very easy to configure ... and you can use assets from
the demo site (like the bigFishSmallDevice.css).

We do have a guide for setting up for small device in our help system:

Hello Nick

Thanks a lot. It is an excellent and very impressive solution!

I will try to customize it a bit and try to run it also with OFBiz
11.04.01 (I don't know it it is possible).

regards, Mark

Mark,

Thanks for the positive feedback.

In regards to 11.04.01 we wouldn't expect any major issues -- the data
model has minimal extensions -- and we hooked into the OFBiz service
layer, so assuming a 10->11 upgrade is generally pain free so should
running BigFish on V11.

Interested in any feedback you have.

Best Regards,

Nick Rosser

For some reason I am getting the following error when I run the command
below on wheezy debian linux / JDK7u9 trying to install BigFish 1.08

After a while:
---- cause
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception: java.sql.SQLException
Message: *Unable to acquire a new connection from the pool*
---- cause
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
Message: connection is null


Thank you in advance for any hints.

regards, Mark
