Hi Everyone,
I've been poking around Ofbiz for about a week and find it very
intriguing for some projects I would like to undertake.
I would like to ask people's experience / opinions:
Has anyone implemented Ofbiz as the primary accounting system for
their company? (Company size?)
Did you find the technology useable out of the box? (After setting up
chart of accounts, etc.)
Did you need to do customization for basic functionality?
International currency, any issues?
I have done a quick read on most of the FreeMarker manual and have a
general grasp of how it works.
How is the performance in a customer facing website (eCommerce)?
Is a servlet container such as Tomcat sufficient?
Can you control URL names sufficiently for SEO?
What is a reasonable time to expect designers to get comfortable and
productive with ftl?
Our site makes heavy use of custom quoting, has anyone done a web
store front where the products are built from custom quotes rather
than standard product lists?
Any major issues?
Does the shopping cart handle "attachments" (specifications, artwork,
etc.) to an order?
As an experiment I have been building a customer load from our current
site and mostly have it working, except getting the encrypted
passwords to transfer in a useable form (both MySQL password fields),
any hints on getting encrypted passwords to move?
Do the PayflowPro, PayPal, UPS, and USPS interfaces work out of the
box (with configuration) and are they updated to the latest API
releases?
Any input appreciated.
