I know there are good reasons why Ecommerce component is done using ftl instead of form widget. I think similar reasons apply to why I wanted to do UI in ftl for Project module as well. Project Management Software for a Software company is used by their Clients as well. Requirements are quite generic and so can be used by more then one company to manage software project out of box. Such software will be used by More then few people and for Most of such people SKILL OF USING PROJECT MODULE OF OFBIZ IS NOT A PART OF CORE SKILL SET. There are lots of marketing reasons as well. For all the above reason and many more that I don't know or not listed here, I think we should treat this component like ecommerce. It should be made fancy, pretty, sleek, or whatever you want to call. > I am not opposed to ajax, but having all screens in ftl with no ajax yet > (did not see any)...makes an application too difficult to maintain..... > Add elements of ajax like such as a tree as I implemented for > dataresource is the first task I want to do....So please Anil, give > comments to my document, if possible please help, because without you > starting the projectmanager application, i would never have continued > it.... > I'll like to help as much possible. I know ftl are little more work to maintain. No Ajax has yet been implemented in them because I did not get change to get to them yet. I'll still insist we should use ftl instead of form widget. Provide wizard type tools that will let people do things without remembering right order in which they have to click buttons to be able to do trivial things.
