Create Facility. Newbee questions

[Marcelo Hamra <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,
i'm learning and evaluating ofbiz for two MRP and Inventory project 
prospects. I've installed ofbiz and changed the configurations to use SQL 
Server, and that works fine AFAIK. I began to populate the database with my 
own data, withoud using the seed data.

FIRST newbee question: is there any way to create an internal organization 
party in the party application? Ofbiz has no option to create those parties. 
I know that this comes from seed data.


In the facility application, I've tried to create a new facility using the 
"create new facility" link in the facilities tab. Ofbiz shows the following 
error:

ERROR: Facility with ID [] not found

I've tried to find what is causing this behaviour, and I think I've found it 
in "applications\product\webapp\facility\facilityEditFacility.ftl". It seems 
it is related to the following line of freemarker code:

<#if facility?exists && facilityId?has_content>

it works when I edit an existing facility, but it does not work when i try 
to create a new one

SECOND newbee questions:
What is the problem? How can I solve it? Where those those variables come 
from?

I hope that changing code, fixing bugs, etc. will help me to understand the 
framework and make me prepared to implement customizations.

Thanks in advance.

Just use "Create New Party Group" and then go to "Role(s)" and add the
Role "Internal Organization".

This was a bug that has been fixed some weeks ago - just update to the
latest svn.
