Improve Category association in eBay
------------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-3149
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3149
Project: OFBiz
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: specialpurpose/ebay
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: Mridul Pathak
Priority: Minor
Fix For: SVN trunk
Recently multi store support for Ebay has been implemented. For the multi
store support we need ProductStore > ProdCatalog > ProductCategory association.
For EBay we define specific categories of type EBAY_CATEGORY, only those
products that are associated to an EBay category are eligible for eBay export.
In the current implementation there is no proper prodCatalogCategoryTypeId
which can be used to associate eBay category to ProdCatalog, one way to
associate an eBay category to ProdCatalog is as a PCCT_BROWSE_ROOT category,
thus we have two categories associated to the catalog as BROWSE_ROOT, the other
one is for online store. Technically, this is wrong, a catalog should be
associated with only one browse root category. Due to this wrong association
the eBay category doesn't show up on the advance search page of EBAY webapp,
instead online store's browse root category is shown which may also contain
those products which are not meant to be exported to eBay. So this category
associations need to be fixed, and following is how this can be resolved:
# Create a new ProdCatalogCatagoryType PCCT_EBAY_ROOT
# Define a worker method in CatalogWorker to derive the top level (root) ebay
category
# Now in the advance search form, first look for top level ebay category
associated to the selected catalog
#* If found, derive sub category list of the top level ebay category and
display, else display the top level ebay category itself
#* If not found, derive the top level browse root category (PCCT_BROWSE_ROOT)
and display the sub category list for it
