mutiple virtual products share the same group of variants

Hi All,

Im trying to setup mutiple virtual products and associate them to a
group of the same variants. when I try this scenario and add product1 to
the cart then click the item in the cart it displays product2. I assume
it has to do with the order of the Product associations.

is it currently possible to share variants in ofbiz? and if so how would
I set it up correctly.

Thanx.
Fred

Re: mutiple virtual products share the same group of variants

It seems from your description that it was able to add the right
product when you selected the features? In that case, then you've
set it correctly. It's probably something about the showcart.ftl
that's going back to the first virtual product found. I think in the
default ecommerce store usually only the virtual product is shown,
and then with select boxes you get to a variant, so that's why.

How to fix it? Not sure... Once you're at the variant, it's like
you're already at the bottom of a search tree. You might need to set
up some other thing for the ShoppingCartItem to remember where it
came from unless somebody else has a better idea.

Re: mutiple virtual products share the same group of variants

Si,

yes the correct variant is being added to the cart. Im also having the
same problem with getting surveys but I think I have that fixed.
I was thinking the same thing about setting something up in
ShoppingCartItem.

is it worth opening a jira for this?

Thanx
Fred

Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

Hello Everyone,
Heres what I am trying to do. I pass a parameter from a URL which
calls a Screen. Now I want to add one more parameter with a different name
to the request in the actions section of the screen.

Heres the address -

http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/~add_product_id=DEMO
_PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/

I want to add product_id in the request but I cant add it in the above URL
else it would have looked like
http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/~add_product_id=DEMO_
PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/~product_id=DEMO_PRODUCT_04

I tried this but it didnt work -
<section>
<actions>
<set field="parameters.product_id"
from-field="parameters.add_product_id"/>
....
</actions>
<section>

Is it possible to add product_id programmatically in the parameters map?

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Amit Shinde

Sure, open a JIRA issue.

Re: Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

In reply to this post by Amit Shinde

I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but my guess is you are
trying to output parameters into the input parameters Map. To get a
parameter onto a link or other URL, it needs to be added wherever
that URL is defined, like in the form def or ftl file, or whatever.

RE: Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

David,
Adding the parameter onto the link is definitely the best
solution. But I was wondering for my knowledge, if we could add that
parameter from the screen actions. That way I wouldnt have to go search
every ftl where this link is called.

So is it possible to add more parameters to the requestparameters Map.

Imagine that this is the link that is present in a ton of ftl pages -

http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/~add_product_id=DEMO
_PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/

I could definitely go in every ftl file and add a parameter and link would
be -

http://localhost/xyz/control/additem/~category_id=0200/~add_product_id=DEMO
_PRODUCT_04/~quantity=1/~product_id=DEMO_PRODUCT_04

You will notice that the new parameter 'product_id' has the same value as
'add_product_id'. The question is, is this the best way or can I do
something from Screen actions to add the parameter which would save me tons
of time. All I want to do is add 'product_id' to the input parameters Map
from the actions part.

Thanks a lot for your response,

Amit Shinde

RE: Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

I believe your issue is with the lack of a
setParameter(String name, String value) method in
Java's ServletRequest Class (and by extension
HttpServletRequest sub interface).
If you wish to change a user's request by appending,
deleting or changing information, you must read the
the parameter map into an attribute map (or additional
map of your choosing) and then only use the
information from the attribute map for any "work" that
needs to be done. Otherwise, you must setup the
request paramter map by changing the request in each
ftl (or screen definition, etc).

Re: Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

In reply to this post by Amit Shinde

If I understand right you are trying to add a parameter to an
outgoing link, or the HTML in the file being sent to the client. This
has absolutely nothing to do with incoming parameters or attributes,
which is what the parameters Map represents.

It would certainly be possible to implement something like this, but
would you really want to add a parameter to ALL links on a page?

Re: Add Parameter to request from Screen actions

Hi Amit

you can retreive your request parameters in the action section of your
SCreen Widget like this : parameters.add_product_id. you can set it on
another variable to reuse in your ftl if you like
