1. works
2. yes
3. yes
4. not much UI at this time,
from david
OFBiz handles affiliate tracking for visits and orders through the
TrackingCode stuff in the Marketing Manager. There isn't really
anything to automatically handle commissions.

#  Implemented a sample of affiliate commission calculation based on 
PartyRelationship from CUSTOMER to AFFILIATE of relationship type 
SALES_AFFILIATE. Note that the amounts are hardcoded in the service. (r 
449224, 449628)
and from
https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/webtools/control/ArtifactInfo
Entity: Affiliate
Service: createAffiliate
Service: sampleInvoiceAffiliateCommission
Service: updateAffiliate

this would show all screens services, if they were in the system.
so a lot of work needs to be done.

Now I am getting little bit better picture. I made a mistake in my previous 
post.

1. cookies to be sold through cookies.com and dvds to be sold through dvds.com owned by a same owner.  

2. cookies.com should not show dvds and vice-versa

3. And 2 separate catalogs for cookies.com and dvds.com 

4. how "affiliate / partner" work in ofbiz

Thanks again

Thanks again for your time.


If I am correctly understanding from Ray's comment, it is possible to
setup 2 catalogs for say 
Cookies.com
dvds.com

and sell cookies through one site dvds through the another one. Where
cookies.com customers can may buy dvds from dvds.com without registering again
with dvds.com.
Yes, you might not choose to do with those examples but you can if you
want :-)
It is possible for a single admin to be able to see and manage the
catalog, sales, customer information for both the cookies.com and dvds.com from
one admin account.
Yes
If I am correctly understanding Jacques's and Ray's comment, it is
NOT possible to have 2 seperate admin accounts (authorization) one for each
cookies.com and dvds.com with 1 instance of OFBiz.
Correct. Again as BJ mentioned the catalog manager application does
provide some control level against admin logins so you can restrict
access to a degree but the rest of the order, accounts, stock etc are
not separated.
1. Am I right  in my understanding Ray'sand Jacques's comment ?

My other questions:
2. If there are door-to-door (affiliates) sales people for cookies.com,
dvds.com, Is it possible to manage thier accounts online like seeing their
sales, payment etc without seeing other affiliate's info ?
Don't think there are any existing screens and reports for this but I
believe the basic structure is available in the system to allow set up
and tracking of affiliates, but it's not an area I've touched on.

 Thank you

I agree with Ray and BJ,

On point 3, I guess the answer is no. You will have to set separate
instances
as Ray as well explained.

From: "Ray" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In terms of mall type stores I understand that generally to mean
unrelated stores (ecommerce sites) running from one instance of OFBiz.
So customers from mall A.com won't see products from mall B.com
and
importantly backend access will keep the orders and everything else
separate as well. So to be clear OFBiz is not suited OOTB to host
multiple separate malls from one instance. But it is relatively easy
to
host another domain/site from one instance of OFBiz that may target a
slightly different market leveraging the same or similar products
under
a different brand, the reasoning's for this will be left to the
marketing discussions but it's possible OOTB with OFBiz.

So what is the association between AppOne.com and AppTwo.com? Are they
separate companies? Just different branding same company? Do you want
one backend database for both the domains? Do you allow someone
registering on AppOne.com to access AppTwo.com?

1: Different catalogs can be used to publish different products with
their own look and feel for the domains. Depends how much you want to
customise as to whether you need 0, 1 or 2 hot deploy applications.

2: I think BJ was pointing you to ajp for this, which is a perfectly
good suggestion. If you're not fronting with Apache or anything
else
I'm
sure you can still do it with Tomcat but you'll have to dig a
little
deeper in to the OFBiz/Tomcat container to check that.

3: Not sure who "their" refers to?

Hi,

I am planning to write 2 web site applications (Domain names)
selling
2 different services.
I would like them to be hosted and deployed through one OFBiz
instance/hot-deploy directory.
Eg:
www.AppOne.com
www.AppTwo.com

My question is:

1. Is this setup is possible ?

2. Is it possible for 2 host names to have 2 different IPs ?

3. Is it possible to manage their catalog/security in one instance
of
OFBiz?
4. I did see the multiple stores are supported by OFBiz but not
the
mall type stores. Could some one explain what is the 
difference between multiple stores and a mall type stores?

Thank you
