WebStore

[Wicus]

Hi,

I have two copies of OFBiz running on two different computers. (both Linux)

The one is installed with the DEMO data, whereas the other is not (A "clean" installation)

I work mostly on the "clean installaton" and refer to the DEMO installation for help.

Currently I simply can't get a store "connected" to a website....
 (refering to the "clean installation" from this point forward)

1.) I created "Web Site Id" : eCommerce
and selected my store under "Product Store Id"
2.) Then went to the <Content> Appheader and created "Content Id" eCommerceContent with "Content Type Id" Publish Point. "Status ID" is set to Available
3.) Under Content - WebSites - Content I add "Content Id" eCommerceContent as a Publish Point

Yet I still cannot get my store reflected in the website when connecting to https://localhost:8443/ecommerce

I got it working once in the past, yet after a restore to previous data, can't get it going again...

The webstore states "No Product Store" at the top of the page.




In addition, can someone please elaborate on the CMS acronym and it meaning. Could I be missing something in this department.

Thanks

Did you add your webSiteId in web.xml?
You don't need CMS stuff to have a website and store working.

You will have to set webSiteId in your web.xml file, and then will  
need to restart the server, because it sets context-param to  
application attribute with name [webSiteId] and its value given there.
CMS stands for Content Management System which helps us in usually  
managing static contents over the site effectively.

Hope this helps.


Kind Regards

Thanks for the reply guys.

Yes, I have the WebSiteId set in /applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/WEB-INF/web.xml within <param-value>eCommerce</param-value>.

I have stopped and restarted ofbiz, yet with no luck .... Do I need to restart the box ? Will be trying right now...

[Wicus]

Apologies.... it is working. (after a restart of ofbiz)

My categories is just not showing at present. I believe it to be due to no parent category configuration at present.

I am getting a "No PROMOTION Category" displayed at the top, rather than the "No store configured" message.

Thanks a million.

[Wicus]

Thanks

What is the best practice to delete an website ? Thereby removing it totally from OFBIZ.

[Pranay Pandey-2]

You need to have a look at DemoProduct.xml file for setting up catalog  
for your product store.

Thanks & Regards

you are working with a relational database.
it is not easy to delete records.

the best is to clean the database and start over

now if you don't mind it being in there but want to show another one on
the eccommerce side, then just create the website and product store,
then assign the new website to the web.xml.

or you can create a new product store and link it to that website.

Thanks once again guys.

Could you also please enlighten me on what is set where to show the categories within the webstore, once the catelog is selected.

Mine just isn't showing.... (within the webstore)

Should I <Catalog> - Select a Catalog - <Categories>, I can adjust categories on the catalog which reflects immediately on the webstore.

Once a catalog is selected within the webstore, it does not however reflect the available categories in the left bar of the webstore....

[Wicus]

Am I correct in my following logic ?

Create a category which is a category of the particular catalog (No specific name - ie. Parent)

Within this newly created category select <ROLLUP> and add the categories you wish to see in the webstore under "Category Rollup : Child Categories"

Now the webstore will happely reflect these categories once you select the catalog.

Could someone please gimme more insight into the "rollup" feature ?

Thanks

[Pranay Pandey-2]

Yes thats right for more details If you will refer to DemoProduct.xml  
file, will be of real help for you.

Thanks & Regards
