> Key: OFBIZ-298
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-298
> Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ecommerce
> Affects Versions: SVN trunk
> Reporter: Marco Risaliti
> Attachments: changedesc.txt, profilepatch.txt

>
> I have taken a crack at trying to make the ecommerce profile screen more user
> friendly for end users.
> What I did was simplified the UI by removing parts that didn't add value for
> the end user, and changing how addresses, credit cards, eft accounts, and
> gift cards are created, and updated. The largest change is what happens on
> the edit screens when the "save" button is clicked. Instead of redisplaying
> the page, it will forward to the page it came from (via DONE_PAGE).
> Attached are two files. One describing the changes to each file, and the
> patch file. The code is current as of revision 6276.
> Comments, suggestions welcome.

> If you're going to look at committing this please look at it closely Si.
> Reading through the changes I'm not sure I like some of the features that are
> removed here....
> Some of these simplifications (like removing purposes...) could perhaps be
> options controller by indicators on the ProductStore, but in general the
> ecommerce templates should err on the side of including too much rather than
> including not enough. It is much easier to comment out something you don't
> want than it is to add something you do want. Also for different types of
> stores these things may make more or less sense, so removing them without
> knowing how they might be used (which is impossible being short of
> omniscient) is not really wise given the objectives we have for the ecommerce
> and other apps.
> Comment by Matt Kasubaski [13/Dec/05 12:14 PM] [ Permlink ]
> I do agree with David that this does reduce functionality for some
> applications.
> The overall goal of the change is to simplify the profile administration of
> registered accounts. The change is geared towards retail e-commerce where the
> end user is "grandma".
> There are other areas in the ecommerce app that could use some fine tuning
> for retail use as well. (split shipping comes to mind) As a suggestion,
> rather than having a runtime/database setting on how to behave, a new
> directory is created called ecommerce_retail (or similar) that levages the
> ecommerce tool set but focuses on selling products to end users (IE:
> grandma).
> Another idea would be to split these changes into their own screens and have
> an advance vs basic view profile.
> Comment by Si Chen [13/Dec/05 12:33 PM] [ Permlink ]
> David,
> I did read through Matt's original change list when I first commented, and I
> agree it would reduce some functionality. However, I thought that they are
> nevertheless good changes because they would make the ecommerce application
> closer to what a user organization would want.
> I also recalled that you had mentioned on the mailing list that you would
> like the user interfaces of the ofbiz applications to be rather generic in
> nature with all the fields and options available to the user, even if the
> screens become less intuitive to a user in a particular role
> (http://lists.ofbiz.org/pipermail/dev/2005-November/009439.html) That's why I
> said that I would wait for others' comments before I actually did anything,
> even though I liked the changes myself.
> I guess the real question with respect to the ecommerce (or any other ofbiz
> application) is whether it's meant to be close to something usable out of the
> box with minimum customization or a template for a developer to work with and
> create a completely custom one. Either way I'm fine with it, since I don't
> actually use this application myself. I'm just trying to help out. :)
