Use of Form Widget in ecommerce webapp

[David E Jones-2]

Just so it's clear to everyone: the use of the form widget has been  
banned for the ecommerce webapp since the day the form widget was  
conceived.

It looks like this was recently violated with the forms in the  
BlogForms.xml file.

I'm posting this to the mailing list just to make it clear that this  
isn't okay because it makes it difficult to get the exact web design  
desired in customer/public facing webapp. So, I'm asking committers  
to watch out for this and not commit any code that used the Form  
Widget in the ecommerce webapp.

As for this code, hopefully someone will replace it soon with FTL  
files. Chances are as soon as these are used on a major blog site  
this will have to happen anyway. Just an FYI: at Hotwax me might  
actually have a client need for this soon, so hopefully if no one  
beats us to it we'll get it taken care of in the next couple of months.

David,

As you know, since we just emailed, that was me.

I am wondering if the DoJo tree widget would be the best thing to replace
the TreeWidget that was used in the widget-based blog elements? Can anyone
who is looking into the use of DoJo comment on that? Is the tree widget
being used anywhere else? Where is the best place to be looking for examples
of DoJo use within OFBiz?

Al, I know that Andrew used a dojo-based tree widget on the CMS updates, but I'm not sure if that's a long term upgrade for the Tree Widget.  I would start here on the Dojo use - but you can also check into the quick anonymous checkout process for other examples.

Cheers

Tim

Al,

I've only ever seen it in use inside Freemarker files.

Let me know if you need any specific Dojo inputs. I've been using Dojo recently, inside OFBiz's
Freemarker files.

Thanks for the offer, Jonathon,

This would be inside of a freemarker file. Do you have an example of using
the tree widget?

There is no hurry on this. Not sure when I will get around to it.

Thanks again,
