Hey Paul, 1. the content thing, check the boxes like "factoids", then you understand well, how it works...quite easy at the end
2. URL: Sorry Im still in development and had not focused on that, so I cannot really help. I just read this question here often and read the answer, that you can change the mount point. To choose different catalogs in ecommerce system is allready implemented (check http://demo-stable.ofbiz.apache.org/ecommerce/control/main at the top-left...) changing the url to catalog is maybe possible with multiple shops, which you can fill with products of your warehouse...than you get this pattern. But you can also do it maybe easier, that you do kind of url redirect...but Im not into it... to remove the "control" pattern, I think this is also possible, but than you have to hold in mind, that all requests to your TLD: http://www.xxx.com/**** have to be redirected to the controller.xml, so you have to handle each request with that. If you have other applications on the server which are called with i.ex. http://www.xxx.com/otherapplication/andsoon than you have the problem, that even this is runinng over your controller.xml... kindly Paul wrote > > Hey!
