1) DemoRetail.xml -- Is this only for demo data?
Yes
If I only use seed data,
does the file matter at all?
No
And if it does, where is it called from?
Automaticaly by ant run-install (you should look for these words in all the
code if you want to understand how it works, but I guess
this shoudl not be a priority for you at this stage)
I've
checked pos-container.xml and all of the xui and properties files within the
/special/pos filesystem. When I changed the productstoreid to be correct in
this file, it seemed to make a difference, which confused me even more,
Which file ?
becuase it says that files is only used for demo data in the
ofbiz-container.xml. A bit of light shed on this subject will help me sleep
a bit better! Thanks!
You should provide your own data in the DB. This is a convenient way to load
them for demo purpose. You may have a look into
Webtools/XML Data Import
2) If I load no demo data, where am I to configure how a button actually
interacts with a item in my inventory?
posmain.xml. As I answered recently in dev ML :
<<The idea behind it is that you generally don't want to have access to *all*
your products. Most of the time you use a barcode
scanner to get products references. It's up to you to show whatever products
you want using a combination of panel (aka categories)
and products in these panels. Actually, remember that the UI, as it is, is a
demo...>>
Keep cool, OFBiz is known to have a pretty long learning curve. From 1 to 4 years according to David, and I plenty agree. And even
after 3 years, I still learn...
