[jira] [Created] (OFBIZ-4750) ProductCategories.groovy loads the full Category-Tree

[Nicolas Malin (Jira)]

ProductCategories.groovy loads the full Category-Tree
-----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: OFBIZ-4750
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-4750
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: specialpurpose/ecommerce
    Affects Versions: SVN trunk
            Reporter: Markus M. May
            Priority: Minor


For the leftbar-screen in the ecommerce application the ProductCategories.groovy loads the full category tree. This is nice as long as the data records are beneath a certain amount. Also currently the "center" of the main decorator is loaded via AJAX.

This is in principle a valid solution, but IMHO the ecommerce application is a showcase, where we should think slightly more about the design.

I would suggest the following:

Load only the first category-level via the ProductCategories.groovy and reload a certain branch of the category-tree via ajax. This would speed up the load process and enables users of ofbiz to not use the projectlist reload via ajax, which is impossible due to changes in the leftbar during the navigation in the category-tree.

What do you think?

------------------------------------

sounds very food....however, please note only categories are loaded which have at least a relation to one product OR a lower level category has at least a single product......

Then you proposal gets difficult to implement?
