Party - adding extra fields.

[Peter Dirickson]

Hi Ofibz users,

 

I'm new to Ofbiz and I want to add new fields for the Party - contact form.

 

Here is what I did, please any help.

 

I want to add extra fields to the contact us form, so I added into
entitymodel.xml those two fields:

 

<field name="comments" type="comment"></field>

<field name="new_product " type="comment"></field>

 

Under entity-name="PartyContactMech"

 

And those fields were created ok after restarting.

 

Then I added into
\apps\party\script\org\ofbiz\party\contact\PartyContactMechServices.xml

 

<call-map-processor
xml-resource="org/ofbiz/party/contact/ContactMechMapProcs.xml"

                processor-name="contactMech" in-map-name="parameters"
out-map-name="context3"/>

<string-to-field string="comments" field-name="comments"
map-name="context3"/>

<string-to-field string="new_product" field-name="new_product"
map-name="context3"/>

 

Under <simple-method method-name="createPartyContactMech"
short-description="Create a PartyContactMech">

 

And also apps\party\script\org\ofbiz\party\contact\ContactMechMapProcs.xml

 

<simple-map-processor name="contactMech">

 

            <process field="comments"><copy/></process>

            <process field="new_product"><copy/></process>

 

But it's not saving into the DB the info typed into those 2 fields created
in contact.ftl template.

 

Am I missing something? My big question is do I need to change/add something
in the ContactMechService.java?

 

Thanks,

 

Peter.
