Hi Bruno:
Pardon my ignorance, but I was wondering, is there a functional
specification or requirements document covering the myportal design? I'm
trying to follow the JIRA comments and am getting very confused as to
the original requirements that drove the development of this code.
TIA
Ruth

Bruno Busco commented on OFBIZ-2129:
------------------------------------
My ideal ofbiz framework-only installation, from a user point of view, is as
follows:
1 - admin can create users and let them log in
2 - admin can assign to each user a set of permissions
3 - users can login, access the home application and customize their default
portal page
4 - users can select a different theme among what admin has installed
5 - users can change their details as name email etc.
6 - users can ask for a forgotten passord and receive by email
7 - users (if given the permission) are able to send communications to othe
users
8 - users can receive and read communications
All other features should be activated installing the application.
Having this approach I think that OFBiz will be used by many users that (like
me) are not strictly interested in a businness system based on selling products
but simply in a framework to build powerfull enterprise level automated web
applications.
Should we better focus on having the framework isolated?
The home application and the portal system should let us do this more easily.
Any time I start studying how to definitively remove the applications from the
installation I stop on the party component.
My idea is that the party component should be reviewed in order to split the
framework from the whole. It seems to me that it is too much linked to
applications but also implementing base functionality that should be available
in the framework-only.
Any idea on how to proceed on this?
Thank you,
Bruno
Moving definitively from MyPage to MyPortal / Home
--------------------------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-2129
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2129
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: specialpurpose/myportal
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Bruno Busco
Fix For: Release Branch 9.04
The MyPage application should be deleted if all functionality have been moved
to MyPortal.
Moreover I would suggest to do the following:
1) Move all screenlets that are now defined in MyPortal but are strictly
related to other applications (i.e. projectmgr) to their respective
applications.
2) Rename the MyPortal to Home application, have it mounted on "/" and (may be
later) move it to the framework when no dependency to the applications are left
3) For the new functionalities that have been developed in MyPage/MyPortal
(i.e. communications) we should think where to place them
4) The actual way of integrate the new portalPages into the AppBarMenu is not
compatible with the Widget version of the AppBarMenu (in the Example
application the AppBarMenu has been reverted to the .FTL version just for this
reason). I think we should find a way to integrate the PortalPages to the
Widget version of the AppBar.
What do you think?
