Gentleman, The more you help me, the further I get, the more questions that pop up! In the screen config files. For example, in the menu/posmain.xml It has the "button name=" which points to an object in the database. My question is, If I want to configure a new window, to break down menu items, and I want another screen for all pizza. So I basically copied the above configs, because they were buttons to other menus. then the other night, you guys explained about the first variable pointing to a database object. That would explain why they took me to the same screen as the above buttons. (menuSku, menuMgr etc.) Where in ofbiz's management site (I'm assuming) do I need to go to set up a new button name? I'm assuming I"ll have to configure it for the right size etc.
Any direction would help, thanks!! On Feb 10, 2008 6:22 PM, Branden Strickland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > ahhhhhh of course! I was indeed trying every "security" permission I > could find.
