Hi,
I would like to make this https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/content/control/ListLayout more clear (and the content module at large as a client would like to use it in French) So from ManagerReferenceContent.pdf p.114 I decided to change "List" to "List Own Created Layouts" but the screen has changed since this page was written and I'm not sure it's ok since it seems there are 3 concepts mixed here : Template Layout Content Data Ressource Could someone (Al?) give me some light before I really dive in, please ?

What is it that you are trying to implement Jacques? In other words what sort of requirement do you have or feature are you trying to support? Or are you just trying to clean up the Content Manager? There is a lot of stuff in the Content Manager that either doesn't work, or that is for an unclear purpose, and personally I'd like to see a redesign of most of it and eliminate a lot of what is there, possibly including the ListLayout and related pages... In other words most stuff is not grounded in any sort of requirements or trying to enable specific user actions and that makes the tools kind of difficult to use, and even more difficult to try to define and fix... -David On Wed, 30 Jul 2008 11:12:08 +0200, "Jacques Le Roux" <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to make this > https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/content/control/ListLayout more clear (and > the content module at large as a > client would like to use it in French) > So from ManagerReferenceContent.pdf p.114 I decided to change "List" to > "List Own Created Layouts" but the screen has changed since > this page was written and I'm not sure it's ok since it seems there are 3 > concepts mixed here : > Template > Layout > Content Data Ressource > > Could someone (Al?) give me some light before I really dive in, please ? > > Thanks > > Jacques > > From: "Jacques Le Roux" <[hidden email]> >> Hi, >> >> I'm looking closerly at the Content application.

The problem is that most CMS systems are really pretty limited in scope and capabilities, and are often meant for pretty specific purposes. A lot of people use them and work around these limitations with CMS supplementation, like like a lot of companies work around ERP systems and end up writing a lot of ERP augmentation stuff. There are a number of nice content and document management pieces that have been built on the OFBiz content stuff, with the CompDoc stuff that is in the Content Manager being just a hint at some of the possibilities (like Survey integrations, document combining, revision control, approvals, and so on). If we did go with an external content management system, even for simple things like ProductContent, a lot more effort would go into the indirect integration and getting them to work together. IMO what we really need is a decent UI for managing content, and if even if we started out by borrowing designs from one of the existing open source ones for web content management it would be great. Most of the efforts so far have been, well, half-assed and never finished. -David |

Most of the efforts so far have been, well, half-assed and never finished. Maybe we could start out by moving some of the more framework-oriented stuff out of the content component and into the framework. That would help reduce the size of the component and make the "code cleanup" target smaller and easier to work with. The other day I was working on fixing an email service bug and was surprised to find email services are kept in the content component. IMO, those should be kept in the framework - since many other components use them. -Adrian |

The common component is probably a better place for some of that stuff. In a way, BTW, we may want to consider moving the whole content component to the framework as it is more often a tool used to enable business processes than something that actually automates processes (which is what the applications and most specialpurpose components are about). -David |

Hi David,
From: "David Jones" <[hidden email]> > > What is it that you are trying to implement Jacques? In other words what sort of requirement do you have or feature are you trying > to support? The primary need is for a client. He will need to use the content component in order to provide reusable blocks modifiable by people from his company and used in an eCommerce site. Most of the layouts are already defined. But the final client has not yet completly finalised his choice (in term of blocks and their contents, etc.). So having the content component working is mandatory. > Or are you just trying to clean up the Content Manager? There is a lot of stuff in the Content Manager that either doesn't work, > or that is for an unclear purpose, and personally I'd like to see a redesign of most of it and eliminate a lot of what is there, > possibly including the ListLayout and related pages... The List Layout purpose is unclear. It seems to show only Templates created with the TEMPLATE_MASTER type but I did not digg depp yet. > In other words most stuff is not grounded in any sort of requirements or trying to enable specific user actions and that makes the > tools kind of difficult to use, and even more difficult to try to define and fix... I'm not able to cope with it this week but I guess that will be one of my 1st August tasks... Thanks for your comments, I will let you know my progression as soon it will begin.

For the moment I need only a simple tool, able to provide "OFBiz eCommerce store policies" kind of things. But I'm pretty sure I will need more : I have still to handle some of my needs in the content component to have a better view. For me the content component is not too bad, it's only difficult to understand how it works and it seems most of us agree on this :o) I will begin in August, and hopefully let the dev ML knows my progress (with a bit of luck some documentation, if I'm able to find time).

BTW, I just committed a few changes and now you can see the Content Manager -> WebSite -> CMS thing for the WebStore webSiteId. There are some issues with how it displays on the ecommerce site... and a ton of messy code up there for rendering different things (the blogs and forums and stuff), but simple content display and templating and such is pretty simple and functions well. -David On Jul 31, 2008, at 12:04 AM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: > David, > > Yes, I was already aware of that, having already played a bit with > the Content application.

David,
It's good to know that you confirm this part works pretty well (as I was expecting from my cursory tests :o). By chance I only need simple things for now. I will also have to come back to the geo-localisation stuff. Will let you know (working on another stuff this next couple of days) Thanks !
