Shop Layout
Hi all!
I just wonder if there is any documentation that would help me to get
started on adapting the layout of a shop in OFBiz to the style a
customer (not the customer of the shop, my customer, which is the
company running the shop) wants to see.
I think I have understood the idea of the FreeMarker template files as
such and about content elements that I should create in the database
such as Catalogs, Products, whatever. So the task would obviously be to
customize that ftl templates.
Now there are many of them, if I count the storefront, seaches, the
shopping card, even forums, ... Fortunately customizing for me will be a
log about getting rid of stuff as my customer is going to run a quite
simple store with a limited number of products, no polls, no promotions,
no forums, ...
But nevertheless, is there any document which I might have overlooked
which is explaining the sample shop that comes with OFBiz and how the
.ftl files are nested? Or would I be on my own finding this out by using
the source?
Regards,
Torsten

The architecture of OFBiz will help you here. Just review the
controller.xml and screen definitions files and you'll have all of
the information you need in a format far more concise and to the
point than any document could be.
