SFA main page in trunk messed up

[BJ Freeman]

when you click on the SFA as admin
you get a portal page.
you do not get the message that SFA is not complete.
when you click on Help you get the Portal page help not the SFA help

Yes sure that is the intention.

why would you call that messed up? It is a start page of sfa where you
have the calender and can receive email and quickly create contacts and
leads.....

The version you refer too was looooong ago.....

Regards,
Hans

So does this mean a change in the design of UI for components?
I thought portals were just to be used in myportal and based on roles
and permission build a portal page.

Have a look in the party profile, which is almost also a portal page.

I looked and it was confusing and not intuitive on the help
First question from a users point of view
What is a Portal, as I search the page for something that says portal.
So I am interested in help on the User Names
I look at the list and see nothing that refers to User names.
Again I look around the page to see anything label as User Login Portal.

Now because I am familar with ofbiz I guessed the user Login Portal is
the one for User Names.

I have not run one of my apps that call party pages against this version.
I expect i will have to modify. That does not make me happy camper with
50 apps to do that with.

I agree that this is confusing in SFA case. And this is not because there is no SFA help. We should care about this, it hides the
right help (SFA case for instance)

I put a comment in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3951
