Tips or a cookbook

G.Ben
This post was updated on .
Hi everyone,

I'm having some issues with OFBiz and its tutorials, it's not quite enough for me, because I'm developping a real application with it,
So, I need to know the syntax of that language, for example : the ui labels how and what do we use them for ? a HTML page without Ui labels should it be enough ??
And the form widget, what is syntax that we should follow (for example : to put an image ? to put a file in attachement etc ... )
And for style, do we always use CSS, if yes, is it like CSS with HTML ...
I have a few knowledge about OFBiz and i'm really struggling with it ... I keep googling and I don't find simple things.
What are all the things that I should know to be able to develop an application with OFBiz
Please it's an emergency :D

P.S : Excuse me if my english is not that good.

Thank you for your help.

Regards.

G.Ben

Actually,  Ruth Hoffman wrote Apache Ofbiz Cookbook.  Also, it is better to
purchase these books and give the authors their due.   Most books on
scribd.com violate the authors copyright.

Ruth has written quite a few books on Ofbiz.  See
http://myofbiz.com<http://myofbiz.com/control/main>

Re: Tips or a cookbook

G.Ben
Hi,

Thank you Mike & Nakul for your help, I actually have those books and was looking for extra information, because I don't have enough time to read them all. Despite, I agree that they help me a lot.

Thank you again.

Regards.

the best way to learn widget is use a xml editor that will give you each
valid element as you build the file.
you can also read the Schema file for the widget and the comments buried
in them.
FTL is how to build files to have it rendered has html.
you marshal the data for the ftl through the grovy files.
if you use screen widgets you can fall the grooby from there.
otherwise name the groovy the same as the FTl file and it will be
executed before the FTL is called.
there are plenty of examples in code.
expect about a year to learn all the in and outs of ofbiz, minimum.

BJ Freeman/All,

We are mainly into zkoss framework (and have integrated well with ofbiz),
but still I find a lot of pain while creating service wrappers in zk over
ofbiz services.
Would like to know your suggestions if we should go with Screen/Widget for
front end design or zkoss is better.

I only deal with ofbiz as the modeling it started with for UI.
this is where a Rendering engine is created and defined in the
controller, and ftl are used as the basis for the rendering.

That said, I also use FTL to prsent a UI front end that is just links to
other pages. In that I still use a standard screen widget to call it.

I resist other ways to interact with other web systems.
