The current Catalog Id in Ofbiz Release 4.0

[Heidi Dehaes - Olagos]

Hello,

I know that this question is already showed several times but i want
to show in the ecommerce site the current catalogus name or the
current catalogus id. How do i have to do that?

I start from the main.ftl which if i look in the ecommerce controller
file is used for the "/ecommerce/control/main" url.

In the "main.ftl" is used the "main-decorator".

In the "main-decorator" there is the script "EcommerceSetup.bsh" and
also the screen "header.ftl" is used there.

In the "EcommerceSetup.bsh" i write:

CurrentCatalogId = CatalogWorker.getCurrentCatalogId(request);


if (CurrentCatalogId != null) {
    request.setAttribute("CurrentCatalogId", CurrentCatalogId);
}



I use the "header.ftl" to receive and show the "CurrentCatalogId"
request parameter:

<#if (requestAttributes.CurrentCatalogId)?exists><#assign
CurrentCatalogId = requestAttributes.CurrentCatalogId></#if>

I show the variable $CurrentCatalogId further in the header.ftl file.


BUT this doesn't work. What do i do WRONG???

thanks for help,
Heidi

the websiteID in the web.xml starts the chain
create a productStore
then in the content recreate a website with the ID you put in the web.xml
and use the ProductstoreID you created.
Now create a catalog for that productstore.
this is the catalog that will show up in the Ecommerce
you can add more catalogs to the Product store and they will show also.

requestAttributes is a convenience map created prior to the screen
being rendered so setting a request attribute in the bsh script has no
effect on that map.  You should use the same method as the other parts
of that script i.e. put the catalogId in the globalContext

Hello ,
You need to create a websiteId in web.xml ,this websiteId gives
information about catalogs.Then create a ProductStore and associate
Website with ProductStore .Now you can create ProductCatalog and
associate it with ProductStore.This catalog will get displayed on
Ecommerce screen.You can take help from data prepared in DemoProduct.xml
file which is  present  in ecommerce  application.

Thanks to all,

Very usefull information !!

But i search in fact how ofbiz passes the value of a java method from
a .java file, for example,

CurrentCatalogId = CatalogWorker.getCurrentCatalogId(request);

into my ecommerce screen. (let's say into my header.ftl file to show
the current catalog anywhere separately in the upper part of my
ecommerce screen)

regards,
Heidi

Hello,

Thanks for the  good information.

But can you explain me more in detail how the content of a variable
from a .java file is passed into the content of a ecommerce screen?

thanks,
Heidi
