How to use the OFBiz CMS?
Hi,
now that I have the ecommerce app setup I need to add more pages to the
website with photos, WhoWeAre, faq, news etc.
I am trying to use the OFBiz Content application for this but I am in a sort
of loop and do not understand how it works.
I have read some documentation that explains what a DataResource is, what a
Content is etc. but the best would be a tutorial that will show me how to
add a couple of static pages to the ecommerce site with a photo and a menu.
Is somewhere such a tutorial?
What do you suggest me to read?
Another option that I am considering is to use Drupal as CMS and link it to
the OFBIz ecommerce. I have already used Drupal and OFBiz is already running
behind Apache with PHP and MySQL.
So it should be quite simple to go on this solution but I would prefer to
use all functionality offered by OFBiz.
Any help/suggestion ?
Many thanks,
-Bruno

I'm not a specialist, but maybe you could have a look beginning from BlogScreens.xml

There should be no widget definition for screens other than a
decorator when using the CMS - that's kinda the point.

Tim

Many thanks,
it seems the "content" and "sub-content" widgets must be used to put a
content from the CMS on a screen.

Bruno,
Maybe the screen policies in applications/ecommerce/widget/CommonScreens.xml is what you are looking for ?
There are not much examples, you may also look for content-id in *screens.xml

working, i needed it however and fixed it in rev: revision 733275.

Yeah - the CMS rendering on the backend is not working as far as I
know - so I stopped using that a while back. I've got a site based on
it though, but it's not exactly simple to describe how it's setup. I
believe that there is an example in the demo stuff which is how mine
got built.

Re: How to use the OFBiz CMS?
Posted by Raj Saini <ra...@gmail.com>.
It should be pretty simple. There are policy pages you can look at the.
They use the DataResource and content entities. There is also demo data
in e-commerce application. I got it working around six months back and I
hope it works now as well.
Thanks,
Raj

Re: How to use the OFBiz CMS?
Posted by Bruno Busco <br...@gmail.com>.
Tim,
many thanks for your help.
The way you indicate is exactly how I am doing it right now. But, I guess,
this is not the CMS way of doing it.
I mean, what I was looking for, is the steps to have an HTML page loaded in
the DB from the content application UI and served at the url
/ecommerce/control/cms/xxxxx
Many thanks anyway
-Bruno

Re: How to use the OFBiz CMS?

I just:
1. Make a screen using the ecomm decorator with a name like "aboutus"
2. Then I have a small piece of HTML in an FTL file that gets rendered
like this:
<screen name="aboutus">
<section>
<actions>
<set field="leftbarScreenName" value="leftbar"/>
<set field="MainColumnStyle" value="center"/>
<set field="title-property" value="PageTitleMain"/>
<set field="headerItem" value="aboutus"/>
</actions>
<widgets>
<decorator-screen name="main-decorator" location="$
{parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}">
<decorator-section name="body">
<platform-specific>
<html><html-template
location="component://project/webapp/project/snippets/aboutus.ftl"/></
html>
</platform-specific>
</decorator-section>
</decorator-screen>
</widgets>
</section>
</screen>
Pretty simple. This will do something static - but mostly I drive
them from the db.
Cheers,
Tim

Re: How to use the OFBiz CMS?

Since I only needed few pages I would have been more than happy to use the
OFBiz embedded CMS.
But I cannot make a single page appear anywhere...:-(
...and no help, not a single how-to...
...has anybody ever used the OFBiz CMS out there?
Does anybody have a list of steps to have a simple static HTML rendered with
the same ecommerce style?
Many thanks for any help,
-Bruno

Using Drupal or some other CMS with OFBiz is common.
We use Drupal for our public facing site, but it is not connected to OFBiz.
