Hi Varun,

the basic components are already available in OFBiz (like promo code etc…) but you will still have to do some (small) customizations to complete the process you are describing.
I would suggest you to discuss this in the OFBiz user list if you think you need some directions.

Good luck,

Jacopo

Hi Jacopo,
I am evaluating a variety of ecommerce engines like magento, spree, oscommerce & of cource ofbiz ecommerce.
There would be variety of promotions as well as affiliate programs, for eg.
”
Refer a friend. An email will be sent to the friend(s) and offer them a YY discount voucher off their first order.
If they place an order, referrer account will be credited with £XX to use on next order.
”

Please let me know if its possible to implement such scenario, if yes then please let me know as to how to configure the same in ofbiz ecommerce so that i can evaluate the user friendliness & ease of configuration.

Hi,

you will find some good examples of the autocomplete feature already implemented in OFBiz; for example, visit the main page of the “manufacturing” application and then click on the “Create Production Run” button at the top of the screen. You will see a form where the “product id” field is an autocomplete field (e.g. start typing P R O D…)
Good luck with your studies.

I found this link from ofbiz.apache.org unconsciously. It’s the effort of all contributors, and I just do what I should do. I’m too busy to maintain the problem cause by that change in those days, and thank you for your continuous effort.

Thank you Jacques, I am glad you’ve found this article useful!
The feedback and help from committers and contributors is important to achieve the best results.
In this specific effort, I would like to specially thank Guo Weizhan because he helped a lot in the implementation phase when he migrated most of the methods of the old Html Renderer to the new renderer’s format.
