Ofbiz Sterter

MICHAEL BUTLER
Hi all

I need some help help
I am trying to understand Ofbiz from a technical stanpoint but ..............

Well rather than explain try following the links where "->" = "takes you to":

http://ofbiz.apache.org/ 

Select Main Documentation page -> http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Documentation+Index

Select  Framework Introduction Videos and Diagrams -> http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBTECH/Framework+Introduction+Videos+and+Diagrams

Select Apache OFBiz Advanced Framework Training Package ->http://www.undersunconsulting.com/ecommerce/control/product/~category_id=USC_PROMO/~product_id=OFBADVFWKPKG
What has Undersunconsulting Advanced credit and banking got to do with OFBiz advanced Training - No reference to Framework Training.

Go Back and select Complete Remote Training Package -> http://www.undersunconsulting.com/ecommerce/control/product/~category_id=USC_PROMO/~product_id=OFBRTNGPKG
Again what has Undersunconsulting got to do with Complete Remote Training Package - no reference to training or anything else OFBiz

Go back select Ofbiz Framework Introduction Videos
Selection 1 : Introduction to OFBiz (3.03) -> http://ofbiz.apache.org/    Hmmmmmmmm  Back where I started
Selection 2 : OFBiz Framework Overview (7.24) -> http://ofbiz.apache.org/ Hmmmmmmmm Back where I started again

The same for every other reference on the page

Am I missing something

Hi Mike,
I think if you want to learn ofBiz you should just do this tutorial

http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Tutorial+-+A+Beginners+Development+Guide


Also here's a cheat sheet.
1) The Browser requests a page,
2) Request for pages is handled by controller.xml which redirects to
*Screen.xml#somescreen
3) *Screens.xml loads a form or multiple forms (*Form.xml)
4) *Form.xml invokes a targetService
5) targetService is programmed in a java file.  targetService returns
success or failure
targetService also has a definition in *services.xml
6) *services.xml will load up a control page where you can put some
simple-methods like MyPortalServices.xml
7) Then controller.xml specifies a new Screen to load after the
service and the simple-method are completed thru the request map and
view map mechanisms.

Hope this helps.
Patrick

Hi Patrick

Thanks for that.  Very helpful.

Someone needs to fix the entry pages though.
