Searching on 'widgets' in the demo shouldn't tell you that the category is empty
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: OFBIZ-566
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-566
Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ecommerce
Affects Versions: SVN trunk
Reporter: David N. Welton
Priority: Trivial
Hi,
I was perusing OFBiz again to gain some insights, and one thing jumped out at
me as a minor annoyance that ought to be fixed, so I'm reporting it.
The problem is that when you click on 'widgets' in the demo', you get a screen
saying that "There are no products in this category", as well as getting the
two subcategories expanded on the left bar.
If I am trying to sell stuff, I think I would prefer to have products in this
category's subcategories come up, if there is nothing in the category itself,
as well as a list of the subcategories that could be selected. I know that
things are meant to be customized, but the better the defaults are, the easier
it is for people to see how cool OFBiz is, and start using it with less
modification required.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time or incentives to take care of this... the
query I'd be after is something like this:
select * from product_category_member where product_category_id in (select
product_category_id from product_category where primary_parent_category_id =
'200' or product_category_id = '200') limit N; (200 is 'widgets')
But I don't know how to implement that...
Thanks,
Dave
