Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem
I want to display drop down in my header with category and subcategory as drop down options, i was able to get the top level element i.e. category but the subcategory list is a bit dicey. For example whenever i click widgets all the elements in the menu bar on mousemove over give subcategory list of the Widgets, if i click gadgets all of the elements show subcategory list for gadgets ! Any Suggestions ?? Thanks in advance

Nope. In fact, FTL templates are meant to be used exclusively in customer-facing sites, such as the ecommerce webapp in OFBiz.

Posted by Hardik Handa <Ha...@hcl.com>.
I have done all this . Have reffered to sidedeepcategory.ftl and sideepcategory.groovy in ecommerce store for implementation. You are actually not understanding my question mate. I have done all the basic framework activities ! Kindly read my first mail again attaching it again here for your reference.
i was able to get the top level element i.e. category but the subcategory list is a bit dicey. For example whenever i click widgets all the elements in the menu bar on mousemove over give subcategory list of the Widgets, if i click gadgets all of the elements show subcategory list for gadgets !

Subject: Re: Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem
if you look in products/widgets (trunk or 10.4) you will see the code
that generates screens and menus. also the data is martialed in the
groovy files, either called out in the Widget or in the web-inf/action
folder with the name of the ftl file, defined in the widget.
The look and feel of these screens are controlled by the code in the
themes folder.
so if you want to change functionality work with the widgets.
if you want you own look and feel then create a new theme.
hope that helps

Re: Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem
Posted by BJ Freeman <bj...@free-man.net>.
Skip if you look at the code you will see that is does not follow the
pattern used now. Yes the widget call the Ftl when you need the power of
ftl when widget will not do the job.
the "moved away from" reference is from the ver 3.0 to ver 4.0 where the
decorator of widget then the themes were added so the functionality of
"screens" was done in widgets, with the code for laying out the data
left in the sometimes left in FTL's.
David brings up that using only FTL only in eccomerce, this is the first
time I have heard this on either mailing list or documentation,so I
learned something.

RE: Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem
Posted by "skip@thedevers" <sk...@thedevers.org>.
Hey BJ
I just took a look at CategoryScreens.xml in the product subtree and it
looks to me like ofbiz is still using freemarker templates to render
screens. The only differences I see are the use of groovy instead of bash
and a new "link" element.
Am I missing something? I do not see that ftl has been "moved away from".

problem
if you look in products/widgets (trunk or 10.4) you will see the code
that generates screens and menus. also the data is martialed in the
groovy files, either called out in the Widget or in the web-inf/action
folder with the name of the ftl file, defined in the widget.
The look and feel of these screens are controlled by the code in the
themes folder.
so if you want to change functionality work with the widgets.
if you want you own look and feel then create a new theme.
hope that helps

Subject: Re: Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem
I assume you are trying to work in the ofbiz patterns, so let you know
where to look in ofbiz.
headers are dealt with in themes.
however functinoality of forms and screens are dealt with in the
component/widgets.
if you doing something not in the ofbiz patterns please explain.
