I’m attempting to understand how the OFBiz product configuration works as I need to extend it. I notice in the eCommerce application that is I can put multiple instances of the configurable PC into the cart, each with a different configuration and thus a different price. If I then View Cart and select the link on one of those (Configurable PC) cart items I arrive back at the product configuration screen as expected; however, the default configuration is loaded rather than the specific configuration based on the item I selected. Is it designed to work like this for a particular reason or is this an oversight? Note, if I proceed though checkout the configuration of each PC comes along and all is well with the actual order; it’s just if I decide to go back and edit my configuration while the item resides in the cart or in a shopping list that I can’t access specific configuration to modify it. Thanks,

Hi Gareth,
I think that the editing of configurations in the cart is simply not implemented (and the link to the cart view page, that is confusing, actually goes to the product detail screen from where you can only add a new configuration to the cart).

Hi Gareth,
nice to see someone else in Ireland interested in OfBiz. I've suggested it to various people in the past but sadly none took it on. re: your question The OOTB eCommerce is really only a demo and I suspect that everyone rebuilds the site for production use. But, if you look at the link in the basket view it is simply calling the template view of the Product... the is it is precisely the same url as when you selected the configure button from the main shopping window and that is why your selection is not included. The selected configuration is displayed on that view but you could simply modify that Basket View screen to point to a new view that would display the actual selection. You could simply copy this existing screen and add a little code to load the configuration first... I don't imagine it would be terrible complex. Have you been developing much with OfBiz yet? It's a huge monster but once you get your head around it, it all makes a lot of sense - mind you I say that as someone who did a lot of research in preparation for a project that never went ahead so I didn't have to do much actually development in the end. But even so I still felt that, once you got over the editing of the XML files and the lack of tradition java debugging techniques, it was very powerful.
