I did not check but from the date you gave it's an old feature from the pre ASF
era
This has maybe been introduced with the Content component and never finished.
Then we could get rid of it, at least from the UI indeed
Opinions?

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.
Thanks,
Wai
