Firstly I'd just like to say thanks to the list for the little tips, insight, and resource suggestions with regards to minilang...had finally got my head round it & find it a really cool feature of ofbiz making certain jobs quicker and easier to write and debug.
I've just started on defining products in the catalog, so I haven't read all available resources yet. But from what I've seen so far looking at configurable products the product type determines to some extent how the product is handled and what options are available. >From what I can tell the 'Catalog Manager' is purely ofbiz, which is a relief(I hope I'm right about this & don't put my foot in it again) because I have to say the opentaps forum hasn't been much help so far, they are quite selective on the sorts of things they do help with. This mailing list and it's archives are generally way more informative. I work for an ISP so most of our products have to be along the lines Configurable Digital Service Products, is it possible to combine these product types or do products have to be of one type only? Secondly with the Configurable product hierarchy, is it possible to have a Virtual product that contains Configurable products, that in turn contains config items? Or some other way to configure products that are made up of other configured products. Lastly since most of our services are charged monthly, it would seem that subscriptions suit our needs best since they can be automatically renewed, is it possible to define configurable subscriptions? I don't expect a full explanation I'm just wondering if these aims are achievable, before I venture forth and maybe where to start would be a great help to. Thanks. -- Regards, Justin Venture-Net Research & Development
