Store front end

[Carlos Navarro]

Good evening, hoping you are doing well.

I've created a new facility, then  a new Store (in Catalog) and finally asigned that new store to a new web site, stopped OFBiz and executed "gradlew loadAll ofbiz". But now I am struggling because I don´t know what to do to access the web site in a browser and I can not find any updated information (searched online, read OFBiz E-commerce Out-Of-The-Box by Ruth Hoffmann but it seems some dated, etc.). Furthermore I've installed e-commerce plugin and is working fine but, again, have no clue on how to access the new website.

So, my questions if you are kind to answer,  are:

1) In the Edit web site, I don't know what to put in the field "Webapp Path"

2) Is there anything I'm missing, like create some additional directory structure, files, etc?
    My aim is to get a front end for the new store.

3) If I want to clone the ecommerce webapp to assing it another name (set up another store),
    what steps do I have to follow?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Carlos,

What do you want to do exactly? Create a new webapp based on ecommerce, right?

Hi Jacques,

What I want to do it's a front end for an OFBiz store that will be related to a real retail store, but I want a simplified UI front end instead of using the account component, warehouse component, etc.. I'm thinking in something between the WebPOS component and the ecommerce component (but for a retail store).

So, related to that my questions are:

1) What could be the best approach, if modify the e-commerce plugin or modify the WebPOS plugin.

2) What's the difference between the ecommerce plugin which is related to a site and a plugin not
    related to a site.

3) How could I clone the e-commerce plugin, just copy/past ecommerce directory structure and files in
    a new plugin and modify paths inside files, names in web.xml, etc.?

Thanks.
