There should be no widget definition for screens other than a decorator when using the CMS - that's kinda the point.

Many thanks,
it seems the "content" and "sub-content" widgets must be used to put a
content from the CMS on a screen.

Bruno,

Maybe the screen policies in

applications/ecommerce/widget/CommonScreens.xml is what you are looking for

?

There are not much examples, you may also look for content-id in
*screens.xml

Yeah - the CMS rendering on the backend is not working as far as I know -

so I stopped using that a while back. I've got a site based on it though, but it's not exactly simple to describe how it's setup. I believe that

there is an example in the demo stuff which is how mine  got built.

Cheers,
Tim

Tim,

many thanks for your help.
The way you indicate is exactly how I am doing it right now. But, I
guess,
this is not the CMS way of doing it.

I mean, what I was looking for, is the steps to have an HTML page loaded

in
the DB from the content application UI and served at the url
/ecommerce/control/cms/xxxxx

Many thanks anyway

I just:

1. Make a screen using the ecomm decorator with a name like "aboutus" 2. Then I have a small piece of HTML in an FTL file that gets rendered

like
this:

<screen name="aboutus">
    <section>
        <actions>
            <set field="leftbarScreenName" value="leftbar"/>
            <set field="MainColumnStyle" value="center"/>
            <set field="title-property" value="PageTitleMain"/>
            <set field="headerItem" value="aboutus"/>
        </actions>
        <widgets>
            <decorator-screen name="main-decorator"
location="${parameters.mainDecoratorLocation}">
                <decorator-section name="body">
                    <platform-specific>
                        <html><html-template

location="component://project/webapp/project/snippets/ aboutus.ftl"/

</html>

                    </platform-specific>
                </decorator-section>
            </decorator-screen>
        </widgets>
    </section>
</screen>

Pretty simple. This will do something static - but mostly I drive them

from the db.

Cheers,
Tim

Since I only needed few pages I would have been more than happy to use

the

OFBiz embedded CMS.

But I cannot make a single page appear anywhere...:-(

...has anybody ever used the OFBiz CMS out there?

Does anybody have a list of steps to have a simple static HTML
rendered

the same ecommerce style?

Many thanks for any help,

Using Drupal or some other CMS with OFBiz is common.

We use Drupal for our public facing site, but it is not connected to
OFBiz.

to
use all functionality offered by OFBiz.
