Now, I finally understand how this works. Thanks to Jones and Freeman.

By "featured products" do you mean the ecommerce home/main page? That is basically just a template that does a category display, and the category is looked up as one associated to a catalog. The demo data has a category with the ID "PROMOTIONS" and if you add products to that category they'll show up on the main page. If you're feeling brave try browsing/searching through the DemoProduct.xml file... it is where this and other demo data comes from and you can learn about lots of features and options in a short amount of time by glancing through it, especially since the XML element names (just entity names in the OFBiz data model) correspond to the labels in the UI, so it's fairly easy to search and browse for stuff. -David > I would be greate to undetand how this works and why it is this way. > > Maybe it is me using the system wrongly. :o) > > Thanks > > Torstein Hegbom > > -----Opprinnelig melding----- > Fra: David E Jones [mailto:[email protected]] > Sendt: 4. juni 2009 20:44 > Til: [email protected] > Emne: Re: How to show featured products > > > Have you looked at this document? > > http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBENDUSER/Apache+OFBiz+Business+Setup+Guide > > -David > > > On Jun 4, 2009, at 11:50 AM, Torstein Hegbom wrote: > >> I have been looking at the demodata, and the behavour of the >> ecommerce-screen.
