Re: POS - Additional Info working with questions
I'm using:
public void setShippingInstructions(String shippingInstructions) {
this.setShippingInstructions(0, shippingInstructions);
}
In /app/order/src/org/ofbiz/shoppingcart/shoppingcart.java
If that helps.
It's not saved off... I can see that in the code, I'm just wondering the
best way to go about it, and was also slightly curious where the actual
database sql code is housed, so I can go take a look to where the special
instructions are saved and whatnot.
Thanks Chris!

Hi Branden,
I'd recommend to begin by http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/PQM and if you need more David's complete journey
http://www.undersunconsulting.com/ecommerce/control/main?atc=OFB
BTW David kindly provided
1. Framework Reference Book r1.6.3 :
2 . The Advanced Framework Training Videos Complete Transcription
at http://docs.ofbiz.org/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=4369. These are the bible so far, it's easier to understand using
the original videos...
OF course links from http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/OFBiz+Documentation+Index are also good to read

Re: POS - Additional Info working with questions
Posted by Branden Strickland <op...@gmail.com>.
Thanks Gents!
I think saving off the entire order would be fantastic. In the mean time,
though, like Jacques said, possibly just adding things like shipping into,
discounts etc. to the list of things saved off could be a temporary fix.
After looking around a lot more, I feel like I have a better handle on
things.
Jacques, what are some options to get literature on the framework of OFBIZ?
It would be greek to me, but Mike (My partner in development crime) could
probably benefit from that.

Yes, that's true. It uses the shopping list exactly

Right, for the same reason
>JLR, what do you think?
A Jira issue already exists https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-565. Not for the same reasons but the fundamental need is
the same. To be able to save all informations about a sale, not only its items.
BTW, OFBIZ-424 and OFBIZ-431 which were blocking this issue have been fixed
I did not test Branden's patch yet, just reviewed it. Maybe it's not be needed to save the sale but simply to add some specificites
in your application. Of course be able to save no only the cart content(items) from the POS but also other informations (discount,
etc.) would be a plus for the community.
>I'm going to sleep on this and take another look in the morning.
FYI, I'm currently working on https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1656. I hope to commit today.

RE: POS - Additional Info working with questions
Posted by Christopher L <cl...@hotmail.com>.
Ok, I took a look into this, and currently what is happening is that when you "save a sale" the POS basically saves the items in the shopping cart. Nothing else is saved.
I think what you really want to do is save an order. Actually, after looking through the order objects, I don't think that discounts / promotions are saved if you "save a sale" either.
JLR, what do you think?
I'm going to sleep on this and take another look in the morning.

Re: POS - Additional Info working with questions
Posted by Branden Strickland <op...@gmail.com>.
Alrighty!!! I'm now throughly confused!!
What I have:
1) addtlInfo method works! I can ring up a sale, do whatever I need to do,
click the "addtlInfo" button I have on my POS screen. Enter a string, and
then do my prep receipt print, and it shows up! YAY!!
2) If I enter the additional Info, click enter, go back to the sale, and
then click on the additional info button again, my string is recalled (just
how I wanted!)
HOWEVER. Like before, (I'm like a broken record! ;) ) If I save the sale,
and then load the sale....AND THEN....click the addtional info button, I get
nothing... well DUH... It's not included in the cart items that are saved!
Now.....Here's the part thats killing me.
I can see delegation items in:
applications/order/src/org/ofbiz/order/shoppinglist/ShoppingListEvents.java
specialpurpose/pos/src/or/ofbiz/pos/PosTransaction.java
I KINDA see whats going on. But it confuses me more than anything else.
I took a look at the entity reference sheet and see this...
ENTITY: OldOrderShipmentPreference | TABLE: ORDER_SHIPMENT_PREFERENCE
shippingInstructions
Shipping instructions
SHIPPING_INSTRUCTIONS long-varchar String VARCHAR(255)
Now that I'm getting everyone deep in my mess. I see this in
applications/order/src/org/ofbiz/order/shoppingcart/ShoppingCart.java
The method public List makeItemShipGroupAndAssoc(GenericDelegator delegator,
ShoppingCart cart, long groupIndex)
has:
shipGroup.set("shippingInstructions", shippingInstructions);
This is where it's put into the database right? Or if not, I'm on the
correct path to finding this out?!?!
On another note.... am I to use the delegator to save the
shippinginstructions sepereatly from teh cart... or for ease of use (and
what seems to make more sense to me) should I try somehow to tack that item
on to the cart so it's saved with everything else?!?!
Ok...Now that you're all throughly scratching your heads, I'll let you mull
on it!
Thanks!

new screens under product module
Posted by Rajeev Gupta <ra...@hytechpro.com>.
We like to create a new custom screen in the product module at the same
level as given here; that will interact with the database product, feature
and feature category table.
Is that possible? Any guidance will be appreciated. Where should we add
that?
Re: new screens under product module

Yes the backgournd idea is to avoid to create useless Jira issues.

No Policy has changed BJ.
I was just discussing him if he want to contribute back to Ofbiz or want to
do it in Custom application.

I have been informed in the past that the dev mailing list is a place to
discuss such topics then the jira is used to provide the patches, and
recap of the discussion.
or has the policy changed?

Re: new screens under product module
Posted by Ashish Vijaywargiya <vi...@gmail.com>.
Rajeev,
If you have some thoughts that you think would be helpful for the ofbiz
community then you
can propose those features on the JIRA issue tracker and you can discuss
those with the community members.
If you would like to do that for your custom application then you can create
the custom
component in the hot-deploy directory and can put the mount point same as
that of Product Component in ofbiz-component.xml file.
And then on each request (if you would like to reuse the request uri from
Product component) you can put the related view-map entries in the
controller.xml(Custom application one) file and can change the screen
definition according to your need.
Please let us know if you still have some questions.

RE: POS - Additional Info working with questions
Posted by Christopher L <cl...@hotmail.com>.
In ofbiz, persistence is handled by framework/entity. When you are looking through other code, if you see any references to "delegator", that's a tip that something is going on that may involve persistence.
Have you checked the database to make sure it's not being persisted? These three tables may have something in the ShippingInstructions field.
ORDER_SHIPMENT_PREFERENCE
OrderHeaderAndShipGroups
ORDER_ITEM_SHIP_GROUP
If you haven't found it yet, "WebTools" (bottom of the ofbiz web admin) -> Entity Reference -> View Data, can be of use.
