Hello David,

I'm not sure to whom you're addressing your post.  Since I'm the originator,
I'll give a reply.

A catalog's "Template Path Prefix" field is used to specify the path prefix
to a particular screen widget file containing the screen to use for listing
products in the ecommerce website.

The reason for this post is that the code blindly prepends the value of this
field to the category's "Detail Screen" field.  Resulting in a final file
path that will "always" cause an exception.  Hence this code had never
worked.

As you can see from the original posting, the resulting path to the target
screen to use makes no sense.

Since this code never worked since 2006. It is therefore reasonable that no
one has ever used this feature.  And it is unlikely that the originator of
the code could possibly have used it successfully unless he made changes to
his own version of ofbiz.

That's why I proposed to have this code and associated ui be hidden or
removed.  If not the code, at least hide the ui part.

I'll log a jira on this so that the community can keep track.

Wai
