Re: Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem

2011-02-22 Thread BJ Freeman
Skip if you look at the code you will see that is does not follow the 
pattern used now. Yes the widget call the Ftl when you need the power of 
 ftl when widget will not do the job.


the moved away from reference is from the ver 3.0 to ver 4.0 where the 
decorator of widget then the themes were added so the functionality of 
screens was done in widgets, with the code for laying out the data 
left in the sometimes left in FTL's.


David brings up that using only FTL only in eccomerce, this is the first 
time I have heard this on either mailing list or documentation,so I 
learned something.

Hey BJ

I just took a look at CategoryScreens.xml in the product subtree and it
looks to me like ofbiz is still using freemarker templates to render
screens.  The only differences I see are the use of groovy instead of bash
and a new link element.

Am I missing something?  I do not see that ftl has been moved away from.

if you look in products/widgets (trunk or 10.4) you will see the code
that generates screens and menus. also the data is martialed in the
groovy files, either called out in the Widget or in the web-inf/action
folder with the name of the ftl file, defined in the widget.
The look and feel of these screens are controlled by the code in the
themes folder.
so if you want to change functionality work with the widgets.
if you want you own look and feel then create a new theme.

hope that helps

I assume you are trying to work in the ofbiz patterns, so let you know
where to look in ofbiz.
headers are dealt with in themes.
however functinoality of forms and screens are dealt with in the
component/widgets.

if you doing something not in the ofbiz patterns please explain.

I want to display drop down in my header with category and subcategory as drop 
down options, i was able to get the top level element i.e. category but the 
subcategory list is a bit dicey. For example whenever i click widgets all the 
elements in the menu bar on mousemove over give subcategory list of the 
Widgets, if i click gadgets all of the elements show subcategory list for 
gadgets ! Any Suggestions ?? Thanks in advance

2011-02-21 Thread Hardik Handa
I have done all this . Have reffered to sidedeepcategory.ftl and 
sideepcategory.groovy in ecommerce store for implementation. You are actually 
not understanding my question mate. I have done all the basic framework 
activities ! Kindly read my first mail again attaching it again here for your 
reference.

Subject: Re: Drop down menu with category and subCategory of the same problem

if you look in products/widgets (trunk or 10.4) you will see the code 
that generates screens and menus. also the data is martialed in the 
groovy files, either called out in the Widget or in the web-inf/action 
folder with the name of the ftl file, defined in the widget.
The look and feel of these screens are controlled by the code in the 
themes folder.
so if you want to change functionality work with the widgets.
if you want you own look and feel then create a new theme.

hope that helps

 I assume you are trying to work in the ofbiz patterns, so let you know
 where to look in ofbiz.
 headers are dealt with in themes.
 however functinoality of forms and screens are dealt with in the
 component/widgets.

 if you doing something not in the ofbiz patterns please explain.

BJ: what are you talking about? In what way has this been moved away from? Do 
you mean the use of FTL templates?

Nope. In fact, FTL templates are meant to be used exclusively in 
customer-facing sites, such as the ecommerce webapp in OFBiz.
