Yes, I've downloaded this branch as you told me but after building, load demo data and lauching, I still can't see any modifications in the front-end... I never use front-end so maybe I didn't use the good path...

I didnt' search a lot so maybe it was just closed to my nose and I didn't seen it... ^^It's there https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ofbiz/branches/frontendNewTheme2013-05-10/
Anyway I think a lot about the work we have to do and I think it could be interesting to go deeper in the GUI modifications. Including bootstrap framework in OFBiz will be a step but maybe we can go ahead and modify best practices of screen creation. Define a design pattern that developers can follow to create standardized screens.So we can define teams to work simultaneously : - Team 1 - Framework modifications- Team 2 - List actual standard screens, list actual tools and send survey to know tools that people need in the GUI (like breadcrumb, better treeview, calendar, etc.) - Team 3 - Create the new GUI design. Define new standardization for screen listed by Team 2. A fourth team could be work on new tools integration, tests and validations.Maybe it's too ambitious and we have to go step by step but I think if we have enough good soul to work on, we can do it !Let me know your feeling about this. Julien.PS : I can't modify the wiki that contain bootstrap integration definition. Is it possible to have modifications right ? Maybe it's better to create specific wiki page ?Only the wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Home is open to contributors The idea is you can always add comments (possibly formatted, they use the same editor) and we can use them to complete the Confluence not open workspaces (members of the OFBiz team monitor changes in Confluence)JacquesLe 14/10/2014 22:52, Jonatan Soto a écrit :Hi all, I made a similar proposition a year ago (seehttp://markmail.org/message/jc7nfodhtoordqli) but unfortunately I couldn't find the time to work on that. I'm not sure if I'll be able to join on thisbut I'll try. On the other hand, I seem to remember that there was a branch already created for this (https://fisheye6.atlassian.com/browse/ofbiz/branches/frontendNewTheme2013-05-10)and a Jira ticket (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5040).

What is the next action now?open a JIRA, have a discussion on mailing list? Furthermore, such a project requires a lot of collaboration.

Maybe the first step could be to create a setting which allow toswitch from old management to the new one because it seems to be hardto change the framework without breaking old css themes. Another important point is to define a mock-up for the basicnavigation and apply it for easiest navigation. This will be helpfulto work with the other points.Taher, I think that it's a big task because we can find several typesof screens (widget, ftl, form, etc.) and many technologies very helpful but maybe it's time to unify the main software UI.Even if we keep all technologies that make the software flexibility,it's important to be coherent in standard UI. So I suggest this following steps : 1 - Create themes switch 2 - Submit several mock-up for the basic navigation (ask community feeling) 3 - Implement basic navigation4 - Mock-up for standard to unify standard UI (ask community feeling)5 - Screen widgets 6 - Form Widgets 7 - StylingI think point 2 and 4 could be running during working on the othersbut we have to start to submit mock-ups to the community because discussions could take a lot of time ;) Julien.

For backend apps I believe that thetaskshould be approached systematically and that this could also be anopportunity to bed down some ui design principles - which could captured in the wiki - as a page on its own. The wiki already contains information on widgets ( https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/ Understanding+the+OFBiz+Widget+Toolkit), but nowhere does it recommend best practices for ui design. A suggested approach:1. Start with screen widgets - the widget-screen.xsd will need to be revisited to align this with the Bootstrap CSS (grid-system amongstothers); 2. Form widgets - revisit widget-form.xsd; 3. Menus and navigation - widget-menu.xsd; 4. Styling - customisation and theming. What do you think?

My goal is that OFBiz project uses bootstrap standard classes to work. I encountered some issues that I've fixed. The problem is that I changethe framework and if I want to share my work with the community, itcould be better to do it in the best way. I know that it's a task in the roadmap, so I hope somebody is already working on or waiting for team mate :) I'm actually focused on : - Portlet-widget structure - KeywordSearchform - Multi-menu management Who can help me on this topic ? Thanks by advanced, Julien.
