Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Hi,
Maybe you don't know about or did not try it, but we have ecomseo a clone of the ecommerce component tailored for SEO
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Search+Engine+Optimisation,+SEO+in+ecommerce
I propose to use it as the default ecommerce demo. This mostly to somehow battle test it, even if I know it works well.
As it's based on ecommerce, users should not experience a big changes, apart the changed URLs
What do you think?

Did you try it? I believe users would prefer ecomseo against ecommerce/control/main, etc.

Done for R16.11, I kept the trunk since I just added it and it's a good way to compare with stable

Re: Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Posted by Michael Brohl <mi...@ecomify.de>.
Jacques,
I must say that I don't like this action.
I have re-read the discussion you had with Scott about this subject and
also briefly read the discussions in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5312 (huge!).
There were strong objections against this change. I must say the
discussion in OFBIZ-5312 was not done very well on both sides in
OFBIZ-5312. There were only standpoints and few attempts to really
explain the functionality (existing vs. new) and lacks a documentation
of what is changed and why. I also had the expression that there were
several developers trying to stitch together artifacts from other
projects, see mainly Oct. 2013.
Despite Scott's objections against the use of ecomseo as the default
ecommerce app and also no other voices to second your proposal, you
changed the default. I cannot see why you asked for opinions and then
act against the only opinion you get after a while?
There was no reason to force this. Nothing was broken and there were
also no voices who strongly wanted the change in the last months, if I
recall correctly. The only thing you achieve might be confusing users
who experience an ecommerce demo with different behaviour regarding URLs.
I second Scott's approach to take the time to thoroughly analyze the
different URL generation/"SEO" approaches in both implementations and
merge them in a best-of-breed solution. That requires hard work in
understanding everything and might take a while.
Additionally, we should first have a catalogue of substantiated
requirements and match them against these implementations.
You mentioned that there was work done with the consultation of a SEO
expert. It would be great if he could give input about the requirements
on which the ecomseo implementation was done.
I propose to revert this change and start over with the above mentioned
steps first before anything is changed again.
Best regards,
Michael

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
I'm all for that. Using ecomseo instead of ecommerce, I mean. But when I proposed so, Anil refused and I went with this solution. For details see
https://s.apache.org/UVqw
Actually as a diff between the 2 web.xml files shows there are also a bunch of other changes with the new filters and servlets, but yes that's pretty
much it.
Sincerely, it was "some" work to come to this accommodation as OFBIZ-5312 history shows. From the ilscipio team which Paul represent, Jinghai and I. I
also thanks Sebastian, Ingo and Josip, who helped in initial tests.

If there was a change to be made, it should have been to work on moving
ecomseo into ecommerce. There's not really any good reason for both of
them to exist when the only differences between the webapps are the web.xml
files.

Actually the idea is quite simple: with the functional expertise of a SEO consultant replace OFBiz original ecommerce filters and servlet by SEO
improved specific ones.

I don't think we need to explain the architecture, it's the same than for the ecommerce webapp, just the filters and servlet have changed

Hi Jacques,
Can you outline what features are in ecomseo and not ecommerce? Are the
features of ecomseo a superset of those of ecommerce, or are there some
things in ecommerce but not ecomseo?
If there isn't a security flaw, what does ecomseo prevent?
I sincerely do want to understand the issues here, and I don't intend to
criticise anyone.
Thanks
Paul Foxworthy

Hi Paul,
No it's not a security flaw, just that spiders will do a better job using ecomseo and there are other features.
I have asked Jonathan Schikowski on Tweeter https://twitter.com/schikowski?lang=fr who is the SEO expert I referred too if he can help me explain details
I'll also start a thread here

Are you saying that there are more differences between ecommerce and
ecomseo than just the format of the URLs, and that those other differences
lead to a security flaw in ecommerce? If that is right, shouldn't the flaw
be fixed in its own right, as a separate issue from the exact format of
URLs?
Thanks

It's a good approach to start with a fresh discussion and to collect the
requirements.
Starting from that, we should analyze what can be used from standard
OFBiz to meet these requirements, what's been missing and what should be
changed. I hope that Anil can help us there, he had a strong opinion in
the discussions of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5312
We should also analyze the ecomseo approach and see what it adds to
solve the requirements. The original contributors might be of help to
explain why they have chosen this approach.
I'm in favor to stay as objective as possible to get the best out of the
contributions. A "my solution is better than yours" discussion does not
help.
We should also expect that it will take some time to collect and discuss
everything and should not force it to a quick solution. That won't help
either.
And we must be focused leaving out sidenotes or widening the topic too
far from the main topic. That will only lead to confusion and possibly
end discussions without result.
A wiki page might help to note and summarize the findings of the
conceptual work and to give contributors an overview (instead of digging
through a long email thread).

You are right, it's time to start a new thread, this one is now too confusing.
Jonathan (Schikowski) just told me he will answer us today. I'll wait his answer to start this new thread. It will not be only about demos since it
seems we are ready to discuss of that again.
Also I just stumbled upon this "Ecommerce Portal Enhancement" Rishi's message by chance http://markmail.org/message/i35qxjelze2x4sja.
It shows there are interests in ecomseo and Rishi started with very useful elements I think and others added some also.

Re: Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <sl...@gmail.com>.
Jacques I'm lost! The message we are discussing is how to handle the two
ecommerce webapps, and you are going all over the place by talking about
things like:
- a historical argument about ecomseo
- an OFBiz fork
- community over code
- human
What does all of the above have to do with what we are discussing?

Sincerely I was really proud of myself when I thought about and implemented this solution (then temporary in my mind). When Anil kinda imposed a veto
on ecomseo and I had no time to prove that we could still use the contents way with ecomseo.
I still see it as something very clean which allows to easily compare the 2 solutions w/o any burden on the legacy.
Anyway, my intention was then indeed to compare and argument to replace the ecommerce webapp by ecomseo (which would then be renamed ecommerce). It

Human, I'm an human not a robot.
This remembers a joke we had with Andrew Sykes in the early days. A lot of the code we still rely on has been writing by Andrew Zenesky (you cleaned
some of it). We were "wondering" if actually Andrew (Zenesky) was not actually a robot. Because of the speed he was writing code!
See? Human, "Community over code"[1][2] :)

Re: Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <sl...@gmail.com>.
Hi Jacques,
I think you might be mixing up "multiple webapps" with "duplicate /
entangled webapps" in your examples. Yes we probably have other things to
get rid of, but I think we should avoid working in the direction of
increasing the entanglements instead of fixing root causes.
Also I don't see the point of bringing comments about a different
discussion and references to a fork of OFBiz to this discussion and rant
about it?

Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
Thanks Jacopo,
Sorry, but some facts can't sometimes be avoided. Here I think they help others to better understand ecomseo history.
But you are right, better to focus on going ahead together.
For instance I really appreciate Paul's (Foxworthy) last answer on OFBIZ-5312 https://s.apache.org/fN7R, that's productive!

I have extracted some the sentences above from your message because I think
they are a bad example of dealing with disagreement: they do not add any
useful technical content and are going to raise the temperature of the
thread and maybe resurrect an years old and ugly discussion.
Not useful at all.

with the two sentences above you have provided a good summary of what I
consider a positive and productive output of this discussion and also a
message that shows a positive attitude.
My advice, for you and others interested in this thread, is to focus on the
latter and refrain from commenting on the former.
Jacopo
Re: Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
This argument looks more like a witch hunt to me.
If you both think it's a valid argument against ecomseo then what about
accounting, ar and ap webapps in accounting component
ofbizsetup and ordermgr-js webapps in commonext component
content and contentimages in content component
marketing and sfa in marketing component
facility and catalog in product component
ical and workeffort in workeffort component
What are your plans for those? We might decide to change that but it's so far a feature not a bug.
We dropped the ecomclone which was just showing how to reuse a webapp in another webapp. I agreed about dropping it because ecomseo was also showing
the same feature. We can simply document it w/o showing an example in code. I would not be against but we then need to document it in both readme and
wiki.
Now I can also agree about unifying the ecommerce component and then we need to compare the 2 webapps which are very similar. Actually we "only" need
to compare the filters and servlets in both and decide which are the best.
I think, but have not tested, that you can use content in ecomseo has it was abruptly advocated by Hans[1] and Anil[2]. Else we can merge this feature
from ecommerce to ecomseo filters and servlet.
BTW, I don't see good practises in Hans's and Anil's answers and sorry to say but I think the best answer then was from the regretted Adrian[3]
Since then ilscipio has its fork[4][5] and will not contribute anything anymore, well done experts!
So you see there is some resentments about this.
Yes, people worked hard to contribute it with some other main features like "Solr" OFBIZ-5042
But I think we can go ahead and find a common ground for the best or the project, which is only what I have in mind.

Re: Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <sl...@gmail.com>.
I have to agree with Scott, the approach here is wrong in my opinion. My
definition of mess is simple: you should not have two components with two
webapps. A real root solution is to unify the ecommerce component with one
webapp exposed instead of having all this hairy code and interdependencies.
I also think this should be discussed more rather than just committed
without a thorough review.

You don't need to change SeoConfig.xml by default.

I guess you know that most of the spiders bots which are crawling the web are not doing for the good of websites and users. Better to prevent them to
hurt in any way. OOTB the ecomseo webapp is better than the ecommerce on this aspect. And it's also better with and for valuable crawlers (Google,
DuckDuckGo, youNameIt...). Pour demo instances and OFBiz OOTB at large would benefit from using only ecomseo.

I wanted this committed because it's ecommerce webapp improved. I did it a way that did not hurt the legacy situation. It just offered an alternative.
For me it's a better solution.

You're asking for opinions and I can't give one without any knowledge of
this feature so I'm simply telling you that the lack of documentation is a
hindrance to evaluation and adoption. I took a quick look at SeoConfig.xml
and have no idea what most of it does.

I don't understand this question.

It should have been the first step before any of this was committed but
instead you pushed ahead and committed it as an alternative despite
objections so now we have duplicated functionality and a messier codebase.
I was going to list out the current set of possible SEO approaches that now
exist in the codebase but it's all such an overlapping mess I can't make
sense of it without spending too much time trying to figure it out.
People need to stop adding things they can't get consensus on, IMO the mess
that results is worse for the project than any missing feature. I'll never
understand why some committers are so desperate to see something committed
that they'll push forward at any cost. Not every feature has to start it's
life in the OFBiz repo.

That is not the deciding factor in this discussion for me. I'm against any
change to the status quo until we get this mess cleaned up.

Hi Scott,
Of course there are real world users, did you see the references?
Do we have a such document for ecommerce? No, so It's not a good argument to not switch the demo from ecommerce to ecomseo. Would you not like to have
spiders bots continuously crawling it without any risk?
Replacing ecommerce by ecomseo is another matter, another step I'd say.
And I'm surprised that you prefer to have "/control/" in each URL by default :/

Well for me it's a -1 until I hear some positive reviews from other users
(and ideally committers). I don't like having two ecommerce webapps and my
preference would be to merge the two into one, but I can't promote that
idea without any group consensus that the SEO approach is good and well
architected. A document describing the architecture would make that much
easier and I'm amazed one wasn't supplied with the proposal, no wonder it

By the way, is there any technical or user documentation for it? I haven't
looked at it and don't have time to review the actual implementation right
now. The link you provided doesn't offer much more than a sales pitch.

Scott,
I did not answer clearly to this question (inline)

I personally did not deploy it on a production instance.
But I know others did when the patch was proposed and that's 2+ years ago.
One of the sites I referred to in another thread is still successfully using this solution https://www.buchhandel.de/info/beta.html
By battle test it I mean to use it on our official demo. Personally I no longer use the ecommerce webapp locally only ecomseo, without any specific issues

So does it need battle testing or does it work well? Have you deployed it
to any production instances? Has anyone else?

Re: Use ecomseo on demo rather than ecommerce
Posted by Jacques Le Roux <ja...@les7arts.com>.
OK forget it for now. I just realised that ecomseo starts with R15.
So you can still get to it in trunk demo using https://ofbiz-vm.apache.org:8443/ecomseo but it will available to users from official site main page
only when we will roll out R16
But mmm, I vaguely remember having proposed to rotate our demos. Since we will not publish R16 before at least some months, could we not?
1. drop R12.04 (no longer supported anyway)
2. Rename related title in site main page from
12.04 Release Branch Demo (old)
to
R15 Pending Branch Demo (unstable)
3. And replace R12.04 by R15
Opinions?
