-----------------------------------
Thanks Dimitri. I also believe that the single store solution is the best way
to go.
I've been trying to get the Currency to display properly, but is doesn't seem
to work unless individual prices in the currency are entered for each product.
I really believe that only the default/list prices should be entered for the
product (in default currency) and the displayed priced should be automatically
calculated from the foreign exchange rate table.
In productdetail.ftl, price is set via:
<#assign price = priceMap?if_exists />
However, if the session currency is EUR, and the actual product store is USD,
it doesn't correctly render (or calculate) the price, as I would like to
expect. However, add an item to the shopping cart, then view cart, and there
it is, in EUR (odd).
It would be great is someone with more OFBiz experience could figure this out.
It is probably a simple fix.

> Affects Versions: Release Branch 10.04, Release Branch 11.04, SVN trunk
> Environment: Not specific
> Reporter: mz4wheeler

> Labels: patch

> Using the specified patch, it is now possible to set a users initial Locale
> (and even currency) based on the webapp mount point. This works with a
> single store, and does not require the use virtual hosts. This is especially
> useful when setting up sitemap.xml, which allows crawlers (like google) to
> correctly locate and traverse products and services in multiple languages.
> Here is an example where "ecomclone" has been modified to Locale=fr with a
> mount point of "/fr".
> specialpurpose/ecommerce/ofbiz-component.xml:
> <!-- <init-param name="Currency" value="EUR"/> -->
> <webapp name="ecommerce"
> title="eCommerce"
> server="default-server"
> location="webapp/ecommerce"
> mount-point="/ecommerce"
> app-bar-display="false">
> </webapp>
> <webapp name="ecomclone"
> title="eCommerce Clone"
> server="default-server"
> location="webapp/ecomclone"
> mount-point="/fr" <------- SPECIFY MOUNT
> app-bar-display="false">
> <init-param name="Locale" value="fr"/> <------- SPECIFY LOCALE
> </webapp>
> The below sitemap.xml would allow products with the "/fr" path to be indexed
> in french.
> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9";>
> <url><loc>http://ofbizsite.com/ecommerce/products/10002/p_1001TANGRAMPUZ</loc></url>
> <url><loc>http://ofbizsite.com/fr/products/10002/p_1001TANGRAMPUZ</loc></url>
> </urlset>
> The patch:
> The attached patch modifies setDefaultStoreSettings in ProductEvents.java,
> which is called once during the initial session creation.
> After a user enters the URL, they are still free to modify the language, as
> long as the page supports it (like the default demo store). The patch also
> allows the Currency to be forced as well, and it does appear to work, but
> should be more throughly tested.
> Although this patch bypasses the requirement for multiple stores, there may
> be issues with other aspects of the store, like emails. However, it is no
> different than a user who enters your English-based ecommerce store, selects
> "french", and attempts a checkout.
