Ofbiz Setup menu

Foo Shyn Chung
Hi guys,

I notice that when i click on the Party or My Portal component, the Setup
component is not appearing in the main app bar. However when i click on
other components, including those that i'd created in hot-deploy folder,
the Setup menu will appear.

Would like to know how ofbiz control the main app bar for Setup so that it
will only appear in certain scenario? Does it meant to be working in this
way?

Thanks
FooShyn

IIRW, it's depends on data you use. It's supposed to show only when you don't seed with demo data (ie only seed and such). Which
makes sense since you are supposed to provide your own data...
Did you cross another behaviour?

Ah i think i found out what's the issue. The component that i'd created is
not using the commonext screen as the common screen, thus giving out this
behaviour.

Would it be better if the ant task that creates custom components in
hot-deploy folder be generating the common screen using the one in
commonext rather than the common ones?

Thanx

What do you call commonext screen exactly? (I don't see any "commonext" screen in OFBiz)

Re: Ofbiz Setup menu

What i meant is this line:

<include-screen name="ApplicationDecorator"
location="component://commonext/widget/CommonScreens.xml"/>

which is round in CommonScreens.xml in the party module. It is using the
one in commonext, which includes some logic checking to allow the Setup
menu to appear. However if you create a new custom component in the
hot-deploy folder using the ant task, the common screens in it is defaulted
to use the one in common, rather than commonext.
