I have Netbeans for Java and XUI as well as JBuilder for Java and
Dreamweaver for HTML, etc. What do you guys use for new FTL devleopment? Is there a GUI editor to make the screen layout easier? I am passionate about attractive and intuitive UIs and a GUI editor makes it all easier. Any tools and tricks to make life easier? Skip |
You could take Dreamweaver's output and convert it to an FTL file.

Ftl's are tied to the bsh files in ofbiz.'
from the freemaker site http://freemarker.org/editors.html but more importantly most displays are dynamically produced from the entities. In otherwords the Field are not defined in the editor but produced when the entity is read. So the editor would have be entity aware and some form of CSS would have to be used to give div classes to each field. there are some Ftls and some widgets the build on other ftls and widgets to create complex pages. I am not sure there is any editor that will allow all that. there has been some talk in the content module, but nothing definite, like above. skip@theDevers sent the following on 10/17/2007 2:26 PM: > I have Netbeans for Java and XUI as well as JBuilder for Java and > Dreamweaver for HTML, etc. > > What do you guys use for new FTL devleopment?

Thanks to both BJ and Adrian for the input. The dynamically produced
screens are not suitable in my view. No eye has been given to layout, usability, and context making the users live harder than it needs to be. A prime example is the Payments screen in the Accounting module. Because this is so generic, there are 14 fields where there needs to be 5 (or six if you are dealing with foreign currencies) for the common payment tasks. That is why I want to replace these so I don't have to spend hours training my customers' employees every time they hire a new one. In other words, these dynamically generated screens are the problem, not the solution.

First I agree with you.
second I accomplish this buy having my own modules that I make my own screens. I have been thinking of asking to add Class field for each entry in a entity. But I have not given much thought to this process yet. then by use of a CSS you hide or relocated any field you want. However there is not "one way" a screen should done. so the implementations we now have are generic and suppose to be modified by the consultant, in there release to the client. skip@theDevers sent the following on 10/17/2007 3:14 PM: > Thanks to both BJ and Adrian for the input.

Skip,
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. If you want to create a custom UI using Dreamweaver, then lay out the UI in Dreamweaver, and C&P the markup it generates into an FTL file. You won't be able to do away with dynamic pages altogether since you're dealing with a dynamic website. -Adrian skip@theDevers wrote: > Thanks to both BJ and Adrian for the input.

Are these proprietary? Seems a waste to re-invent the wheel when something really close to what you want may already exist.

not proprietary but more to fit a look and feel of yahoo
so to reduce the learning curve for those store owners. Since I use widgets, it makes it easier, as far as I am concern than FTL's. Also change the menu entry point so it has more business logic to the processes. Also remember I started this back in 2006 and lot has changed in ofbiz. I really like the include function in the controller I would say that 90% of the UI is still ofbiz skip@theDevers sent the following on 10/17/2007 5:26 PM: > BJ > > Are these proprietary?

Somewhere a few days ago, I was told that Jira was the best place to put up
submissions that you want to give back to the community. The question is, how does the community find those submissions that have not been included in the release but might be right for them? Say I am looking for a modified pos, or a new accounting UI or a fix to the way payments are applied? I have just spent a half an hour browsing Jira and can't seem to figure out how to identify these submissions. Perhaps I am using the wrong url at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ ? Skip |
Currently, I just go through them all. I maintain my own database of records that point to JIRA
issues. Yes, it's true that there's a great wealth of submitted codes we can reuse. As for why it isn't in OFBiz, it's just not all that easy to fit every imaginable submission into a central framework. Most of the submissions require quite a fundamental change to OFBiz way of doing this. I would say you'll need to spend some effort to hunt down and to massage/refactor those submissions for your own use.

when a jira is created or modified it generates a email on the dev ML.
I filter them into a folder to review. for the ones I have submitted, I can get a list once I login you can use https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa and put in POS as a query. hightligh ofbiz if you want only ofbiz related issues. skip@theDevers sent the following on 10/17/2007 7:15 PM: > Somewhere a few days ago, I was told that Jira was the best place to put up > submissions that you want to give back to the community. > > The question is, how does the community find those submissions that have not > been included in the release but might be right for them?

Form (and screen) widgets have been designed and implemented to facilitate customizations and customer extensions; you have total control of the fields you want to see in your forms and you can also extend existing forms. auto-fields it is just one of the many great features of the widgets.

Hmmm, well, an organized web site dedicated to those submissions would make them way easier to find.
