It's a ready-to-go eCommerce software solution that can be used by anyone.
A single company could use it for multiple eCommerce sites (we do have
to make sure that we have proper separation by Product-Store but that
will be done in the next 1-2 months).
For multi-tenant I assume you mean more of a SaaS based solution. This
is not something that we've thought seriously about and there are always
some questions about what that really means.
If you mean a self-service, sign-up and go SaaS solution then it could
just be a matter of having some very clever deployment mechanisms to
control this (under the covers it could still be separate instances and
separate db in a VM architecture).
If you mean true multi tenant with a single database (more like the
salesforce.com model) then that's trickier -- segregating client data so
that they can't see other client data, and all the general user access
stuff makes the solution a lot more complex. Not something we've thought
about getting into anytime soon -- Hans Bakker has expressed some
interest in possible getting involved or helping out with this which
would be fine with us.
Not sure if that answers your question. Do you have a specific requirement?

Hey Nick. I just checked out (again) your BigFish project:
http://bigfish.salmonllc.com/bfFeatures.html
Very impressive.
I was wondering what is the intended target of this project. Is it for a
SINGLE company that intends on deploying multiple websites using different
themes and product categories, all while maintaining a SINGLE database? Or
is it intended to me a multi-tenant model.
Thanks

OFBiz users,
Over the last 2 months we've made many changes to our OFBiz/BigFish
platform. The latest is available at http://bigfish.salmonllc.com.
In particular, click on "Demo" and check out the Fashion-House and
Electronic-Store demos (both the eComm implementation and the Admin Module).
Highlights:
* many enhancements, bug fixes
* A "content library"
o a container for generic content that can be re-used within any
other content
* Multi Currency
o The Electronic Store demo is focused on the India market (Rupees)
o eComm and Admin module will honor the setting
* Guest Checkout
o set a parameter and guest checkout is enabled
* pick-up-in-store
o ties the check-out process to the store-locator
o configure to also take payment or collect monies later
o dashboard in Admin module changed to separate online orders with
pick-in-store orde
* PLP (Product Listing Page) content spots
o allow for a content spot at the top of the page; bottom of the
page; in the facet panel (top or bottom)
o by category
We are finishing up some interesting enhancements that will be available
within the next 1-2 weeks, specifically:
* "variant" processing, example:
o fashion house demo
o click on apparel / blouses
o see color "swatches", click on it and you see the appropriate image
o click on "beige-tan" on the facets and the beige-tan variant
image is displayed
o same for PDP (Product Detail Page)
* Home Page "carousel"
o user managed content that can be displayed in a flexible
rotating "carousel"
o the implementation is designed as such that any content can use
the carousel display
* Mega Menus
o the ability to override the standard BF drop-down from the main
navigation bar
o and have a "mega menu" display
o Fashion-House demo will illustrate this shortly
As always, feedback always welcome. Thanks.
