Does anyone know how a catalog's "Template Path Prefix" field is used from http://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/catalog/control/EditProdCatalog?prodCatalogId=DemoCatalog It seems that the code blindly prepends the "Template Path Prefix" value to the category's "Detail Screen" field.
Hence, if a catalog's "Template Path Prefix" is "zzz" and a category's "Detail Screen" is "somedetailscreen", the resulting screen that ofbiz looks for is "/zzzsomedetailscreen". Which ofbiz would not be able to locate based on the format of the screen location. If a catalog's "Template Path Prefix" is "zzz" and a category's "Detail Screen" is "component://ecommerce/widget/CatalogScreens.xml#somedetailscreen", the resulting screen that ofbiz looks for is "/zzzcomponent://ecommerce/widget/CatalogScreens.xml#somedetailscreen". Which ofbiz would not be able to located due to the improper format. Since this code never worked since 2006 when it was first placed into the svn repository. I don't think anyone has made use of it since. I propose to remove the catalog's "Template Path Prefix" field from the catalog's user interface to reduce the confusion. Could someone in the community give some insight to this field.
