I am new to Ofbiz as a user. A few months ago I was fortunate enough to have a friend install and configure Ofbiz for my business. I switched my entire operation over to the Ofbiz framework out of sheer optimism/excitement for the powerful potention it offers. I have spent countless hours over the past few years with toying with different OOTB eCommerce solutions...only to find that there was always some annoying limitation with each and every one of them. Ofbiz, I thought, was going to be the solution I had been looking for the past several years. Finally...I can have EXACTLY what I need to operate my business the way I envision. Now the dilemma....
I am not sure if it's the version I am running OR if it's a configuration issue, but a healthy chunk of Ofbiz features do not function on my site. To just name one...content management. I cannot add alt tags, policy pages,etc. Now, my friend is too busy to work on my site regardless of an hourly fee. The seemingly few of dev. familiar with OFB are also too busy. Documentation/training videos are too advanced for me unfortunately. I am willing to put in the time to learn, but I fear that it would take years for me to get where I need to be in order to customize OFB for my business...AND I don't even know where to begin. It's frustrating to be dependant on others that have the necessary knowledge to help you, BUT they are too busy unless I can un-ass $30K on up to become a top-level project myself. Please understand, I have the utmost respect for anyone that has the knowledge/background necessary to be able to navigate through development/implemention of Ofb AND I completely understand that small business owners like myself cannot expect the same attention as companies with big budgets. It's unreasonable for me to expect the luxury of a tailor-made ERP solution without paying what it's worth. 1) Is there anyone that has the time AND is willing to spend one-two hours per week consulting me on Ofbiz via phone/email/livechat,etc.? (walk me through the process of setup/config. and customization from time to time. If YES or if you have some positive suggestions than please email me directly with rates/availability. I would like to delete this post soon, so please do not respond with a post. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help-with-Ofbiz-tf4252942.html#a12103923 Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
