OFBiz / BigFish eCommerce latest release

[Nick Rosser-2]

The latest release of the eCommerce platform BigFish has been released
to our demo site at http://bigfish.solveda.com.

For those of you who have not yet heard of BigFish here's a quick 30,000
ft view:

  * BigFish extends OFBiz
      o we re-use the great data model and the valued service layer
      o for example: place an order in a BigFish eCommerce
        implementation and you will be able to track and fulfill that
        order using out-of-the-box OFBiz seamlessly
  * BigFish has a focus on eCommerce solutions
      o this includes features and functions to quickly create an
        enterprise eCommerce site
      o and also has an Admin Module which exposes OFBiz data and
        services, with a focus on eCommerce site management

There are many new features in this release, most notably a complete
re-work of the Responsive Web Design (RWD) implementation. To understand
this more fully see our Fashion House demo at
http://http://bigfish.solveda.com:8082/online/shop/main and re-size your
browser to see how the responsive components work.

For anyone interested in India retail solutions the Electronic Store
demo operates in Rupees, illustrates a Blue Dart solution and allows for
COD on check-out. See
http://http://bigfish.solveda.com:8085/online/shop/main

More to come on this over the next few weeks, new client announcement,
videos etc. Questions, comments always welcome.

Sakthi,

is not the case. I'll get that updated asap.

Dear Nick,

Thanks again for all the hard work and for sharing BigFish with the community.

For what we can see on the demo website, BF 1.16 looks really great with a lot of improvements over the last version.

I tried to follow the install procedure on http://bigfish.salmonllc.com/bfDownload.html but I cannot get a fully functionnal demo to run. To be more specific, I get most of the Fashion house theme to appear on screen, products are loaded, but I cannot get the rest of the content (footer links, homepage sliders, etc.) to be loaded into the database. Maybe I'm missing an ant target like the one in the previous procedure ("ant run-install-demodata", which doesn't seems to work anymore) ?

Thanks by advance

Christophe

[Nick Rosser-2]

Christophe,

I'll have one of my techs reach out to you so we can get this resolved.
Hopefully within a couple of hours.

[Nick Rosser-2]

Christophe,

This has been resolved. From my tech team:

The download steps have been updated on the BigFish website.  We were
missing some steps to load the demo content.  Also we needed to update
some files that were incorrectly referencing the wrong Product store Id.

I can suggest 2 ways for this user to resolve his issue and get his
instance up and running.

  * *Option 1:
    *
      o **Start over be grabbing the updated code and following the
        updated steps. (Easiest solution)

  * *Option 2:*
      o **Stop instance
      o Get the latest client-deployment.properties file and replace it
        with the one in his instance
        (*INSTALL-DIRECTORY*\osafe_deployment\ client-deployment.properties)
      o Get the latest ClientProductImport.xls file and replace it with
        the one in his instance
        (*INSTALL-DIRECTORY*\ofbiz\hot-deploy\osafe\data\ClientProductImport.xls)
      o Get the latest bigfish-content-export.xml file and replace it
        with the one in his instance
        (*INSTALL-DIRECTORY*\ofbiz\hot-deploy\osafe\data\bigfish-content-export.xml)
      o Run command 'ant-build'
      o Run command 'startofbiz'
      o Go to BigFish eCommerce Administration Site
        (https://localhost:8443/osafe-admin/control/main)
      o Navigate to Admin -> Admin Tools -> Product Delete Tool. Press
        "Delete Products" button. Confirm deletion.
      o Navigate to Admin -> Feeds -> Product Loader from BigFish Format
        File. Browse and select the retrieved ClientProductImport.xls
        and press "Product Loader" button. On product loader preview
        screen, press "Load Products" button.
      o In order to load content, go to Apache Ofbiz Webtools
        (https://localhost:8443/webtools/control/main)
      o Under "Entity Xml Tools", click the link for "XML Data Import.
        In the text area, remove existing text and then copy in all the
        contents of the bigfish-content-export.xml file. Press "Import
        Text" button.
      o In order for Demo Products to be displayed on your BigFish
        eCommerce Site, go to BigFish eCommerce Administration Site and
        navigate to Admin -> Admin Tools -> Solr Indexing. Press the
        "Solar Re-Index" button and wait untill you recieve a success
        message. Products should now appear on your BigFish eCommerce Site.
      o Navigate to Admin -> Admin Tools -> SEO Friendly URL. Press the
        "SEO Friendly URL Refresh" button.

Good luck
Nick

Hey Nick.  Is there a way to make BigFish work as a hot-deploy item and use
all of ofbiz's features (especially accounting)?  I don't necessarily need
the osafe-admin module.

Thanks.

Mike Z,

Could you please clarify your question? BigFish currently has access to all of ofbiz's features (including accounting).  Please be a little more descriptive to help us answer your question.

Thank you,
Rayon

[Mike Z]

Thanks Rayon.  I was under the impression that many ofbiz back-end
functions were disconnected, but this was a while ago.  Are you saying that
an order taken via bigfish completely integrates to other backend functions?

Thanks

Mike Z,

An order taken via BigFish will be processed using a combination of both ofbiz and BigFish events and services. So BigFish is not completely using the same flow/processing as ofbiz but many of the events/services used in ofbiz order processing are also used in BigFish.

Rayon

[Nick Rosser-2]

Mike,

One of the primary tenants when we started out was to have minimal
impact on the underlying OFBiz functionality.

So, absolutely yes, orders placed in BigFish are totally available in
OFBiz for further processing (ship, cancel, return etc.).

This is true of everything that we've done -- orders, customers,
promotions, etc.

Even with content management we use all of the OFBiz services and
entities (content, data-resource, electronic-text) -- it's just very
structured so that eCommerce users can target specific content for
specific pages within an eComm implementation.

As our clients look for additional functionality (e.g. shipping and
fulfillment in general) we will expose more of the underlying OFBiz
services / functionality into the Admin Module. So ultimately the Admin
Module becomes a different UI into the OFBiz back-end.

And just to be clear -- our entire BigFish platform is focused on
eCommerce -- so the Admin Module is geared to display and maintain data,
via OFBiz services, specific to an eCommerce implementation.

Nick do we have POS interface in BigFish

[Nick Rosser-2]

No, not specifically,

That said there is a check-out capability in the Admin Module. Here's
how it works:

  * locate an existing customer, or add a new one
  * browse the Catalog
  * click on the "add to cart" icon
  * click on the "cart" icon at the top of the screen
  * check-out is somewhat similar to an eCommerce check-out, more
    streamlined for back-end processing

We have clients who are using this for "back end" order entry (telephone
orders etc.) -- it could conceivably be used for POS.

Good.
I'm interested with "one organization / multiple users". Does it mean user
can sell their product too?
Something like eBay/Amazon?

Eric,

The "organization" functionality isn't intended to be "marketplace"
functionality.

Our typical example is as follows, using an "Office Supply" store:

  * regular consumers
      o can purchase at the regular sales price (B2C)
  * a small company (B2B)
      o with one user account
      o gets a small discount
      o must checkout with credit-card, paypal etc.
  * a big company (B2B)
      o may have multiple user accounts
      o pricing is significantly discounted
      o checkout requires entry of a PO#
