Hello,
Can anyone give suggestions on how to extend the ofbiz datamodel to support
mall functionality. I've installed ofbiz and played around with it.
I have the The Data Model vol 1 book. I've read the threads about mall/multi
vendor/"multi-tenancy"
Basic Requirements
- A customer goes to the mall and can browse/search for products accross all
the stores.
- A product is sold by/owned by/created by/hosted by one and only one store
owner.
- The customer can browser and filter by specifying attribute values for
products.
- To facilitate this filtering, the product attribute definitions are shared
by all store owners. These product attribute definitions are maintained by
the mall owner (only one mall owner)
- When browsing products, to the customer, the store owner of a product
seems like just another attribute he can filter on.
- For the rest we have "multi-tenancy"
What approach?
Does the Catalog Manager recognize some relationshiop between ProdCatalog
and Party to support this. Should ProdCatalogRole be used for this?
How are security groups relevant? It's clear to me that a security group is
related to a Party via PartyRelationship. PartyRelationship relates a source
and target party via a Role and a SecurityGroup (The CATALOGADMIN_LTD
SecurityGroup). Is that it?
Help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Stefaan
