Hi,

Want to remove some unwanted functionalities as per my requirements,
And from where to start to customize the look and feel of the admin portal.

Thanks in advance.
Maverick

good way to investigate is to enable the db logging so that you can see the query that's being executed.  That could well provide your answer.

Hey can you please tell me how to enable this db logging to see the queries that are being executed in the database.

Thanks

Thanks Ming
I saw those APIs, but how can i call those from action, i need to have one LanguageMgr class in com.konakart.al to get the KKEngIf instance.
Please help me with this

Hi,

Is there a way where-in I can add my own modules(Mgr classes) in the konakart.properties files.
eg. I want to fetch the languages and display them on the screens, in com.konakart.bl package LanguageMgr class is there, but same is not present in the com.konakart.al package, please suggest me do i have to write a new class, and how will I provide mapping in the konakart.properties file.

Thanks

thanks Trevor,

but what if i have to use the existing the custom fields provided in my application.... then where i have make the changes so that I can make use of these custom fields in the konakart admin screens.

Thanks
shiv

My advice is to try as much as possible to keep your business logic separate from KonaKart and interface to KonaKart using the APIs. You can always customize the KK managers by providing your own managers that inherit from the KonaKart ones and you can customize the API calls by adding code before and after the standard calls. There are also the integration managers to capture events such as when an order is saved or it changes state etc.

Julie here you meant that instead of modifying the konakart code, we should be writing our own managers and should inherits the managers classes provided in konakart... Please confirm.

And after creating our own managers, how will we tell the konakart to consider our manager classes when doing some operations?

In Konakart.properties file we noticed some thing mentioning about the konakart managers, is it here we have to specify our managers classes so that the konakart refers our classes instead of regular manager classes.

thanks & many regards,

Yes it's built using GWT. You can modify the style sheets and we have placeholders where you can add custom panels. In order to make other types of changes you need to buy the source code.

Since we will be developing the application using konakart, so we are thinking about buying the code, but to match our requirements i have konakart's trial version and i'm evaluating it by making certain POCs and trying to figure out what all changes will be required at the time of actual development.

Considering we have to have add a new page FAQ, where in user is entering question and answers, and accordingly we have a different table in the database to manage these information. So in order to implement what, where and how we have to implements this?

what all files do we have to modify and will it have any impact on the future releases of konakart?

if you could help me with this, it would be great help

many thanks

Hi,

We want to customize the look and feel of konakart admin, please tell us how can we do that? is it built using GWT, if yes then what is the entry point class for this module?

Also please tell us can we have JSP pages for the look and feel and can use the business logic of konakart admin, how much it is possible to implement it this way?

any help on this appreciated.....

many thanks
shiv

Thanks julie for all your inputs.....
but i still have doubts....
since we are developing a bookstore application.... so our database schema will have many other tables which are not provided in  konakart.... and will require customising the code of konakart. so wanted to know what is better way of doing of customising the code of konakart.... can we directly modify the business logic code.... or should we extend the classes of konakart and write our own logic...
and you mentioned about using the build-torque.xml for generating the classes
but i guess what ever schema we want to add or modify we need to make an entry in the custom-schema.xml, and when the build.xml is executed then it automatically creates the tables in the database.

currently konakart provides the 5 custom fields in the customers table, but my requirement is such that i need 7 extra fields instead of 5, please tell me how can this be achieved and what all files do i need to modify.

thanks,
shiv

Julie what if there is a case that i need to add a seperate table all together, then how will I achieve that
