Page Push/Following...Push URL...Follow session
Hello All,
This question is related to a previous post of a few years ago.
http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Page-Push-Following-td163975.html
I would like to know what is the purpose of feature "Page
Push/Following"..."Push URL"..."Follow session". The functionality is not
used in Ofbiz. I'm not sure what is the purpose of this functionality.
What kind of problem is it trying to solve and how exactly is it supposed to
be used.
Having looked at the code, CommonEvents.java, there is not much in there
that answers my question. I think it is missing some important
functionality.
Thanks,
Wai

Hello, BJ
component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#FindVisits does exist in
the trunk. It was my mistake. I didn't do a timely update of my checked
out version.
I've continued the posting in the dev list.
Thanks

This functionality looks like a way to do a crawl. I don't see a need to
remove the uri from the controller. Maybe someone will decided to take
this one and complete it.
Now you have more detail suggest you ask on the dev list.

Again. I cannot locate the screen that you are referring to:
component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#FindVisits
Could this be your personal screen definition? It does not exist in ofbiz
branch 9.04 nor the trunk. The one that comes from the branch and trunk has
"only" 2 screens defined:
component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#showvisits
component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#visitdetail
Focusing on component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#visitdetail,
this screen uses,
component://party/webapp/partymgr/visit/visitdetail.ftl, which in turn
declares 2 <form> tags. It is these forms that generate a new GET request
below:
component:/party/webapp/partymgr/WEB-INF/controller.xml, request=pushPage
component:/party/webapp/partymgr/WEB-INF/controller.xml,
request=setAppletFollower
These request results in the below java methods being used:
CommonEvents.setAppletFollower()
CommonEvents.setFollowerPage()
I'm referring to these methods. They are partially implemented and it seems
no one knows how they are supposed to be used and what issue they are there
to solve. My proposal would be to remove the 2 <form> tags defined in
component://party/webapp/partymgr/visit/visitdetail.ftl, that prompt the
user to give input for this functionality which end up doing not much.
One can keep the code in CommonEvents.java for posterity, but just remove
the UI related portion that deals with it. This would reduce the confusion
that led to this posting and that of 2009.
Thanks

i took component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#FindVisits, is
the view source of the URL partymgr/control/visitdetail?visitId=11111
it is the second line.
Page Push/Following is only in a label file as far as I can see. I
searched for the property key PartyPagePushFollowing and could not find
it. So I guess you asking if you cabn remove PartyPagePushFollowing
from the label file. That would be best ask on the Dev list.
I was confused when you stated it was partially implemented, that means
to me there is some code.

The screen you referred to,
component://party/widget/partymgr/VisitScreens.xml#FindVisits, does not
exist.
>From what I see, 9.04 and the trunk as it relates to "Page Push/Following"
functionality have not changed. It is still partially implemented.
As mentioned, the ofbiz trunk still allows a user to specify input for this
functionality. Even though it doesn't do much.
I would suggest removing the "Page Push/Following" prompts from the UI. If
there's no objections, I'll create an issue in jira to have it removed from
the UI.
As a reference, that page is accessed via
https://localhost:8443/partymgr/control/visitdetail?visitId=11111.
Thanks
