Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

Hi,

I've recently received a request to investigate a blc inventory module. I've found this sentence in README.md:

If you are including this module at the beginning of your project, simply switch to the inventory branch of DemoSite. All of the necessary changes are implemented there.

But if I go to https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/DemoSite and I check existing branches there, I can't find mentioned branch.

I've found following branches (see attachment):


Can you please help me with this ?

Thank You

Hi all,

I've added broadleaf-inventory module into pom.xml of admin and site. As suggested I'm investigating adding "CheckAvailabilityActivity" to blAddItemWorkflow and blUpdateItemWorkflow.

Now, in order to get more familiar with initial idea behind BLC Inventory, I am inspecting Inventory and it's implementation (as entity).

Can you please explain me what is idea behind following properties:
- quantityAvailable,
- quantityOnHand and
- expectedAvailabilityDate

Thank you

Hi,

reading README.md, specially part of SQL update script that I have to execute, I must state here my concern about following SQL inserts:



Please note that, previously ADMIN_PERMISSION_ID starts from 69 and goes to 78, while later, as you can see in previous example, ADMIN_PERMISSION_ID starts with 64 and ends with 73.

(see README.md of Inventory https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Inventory
Can this be a typo, or I am not getting some bigger picture how this should be related?

Thank You

Hi,

update on my findings continue:

Last 4 SQL instert's in provided SQL are:



but when I try to execute them, I am getting an error that table 'BLC_ADMIN_SECTION_PERMISSION_XREF' doesn't exists.


Could it be that this is another typo in README.md file, and actually SQL should be:



Am I right ?

Hi,

going further and further, I have found answer to my first question

Reading this line,

If you are including this module at the beginning of your project, simply switch to the inventory branch of DemoSite

I was under impression that i should look for branch in https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/DemoSite.

Later I found out that there is separate repo on github that deals with DemoSite with included inventory.
Look for following URL: https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/DemoSite-Inventory

Hope this helps a bit.

Also,

please do not forget to change README.md, to add following line in `messages-admin.properties` file of admin module:

otherwise you will end-up with some labels surrounded with ???

Thank You

Hi,

now I am trying to clone DemoSite-Inventory repo, but with no luck.

Here is the output:


Do others have same issue?

Thank You

Hi,

since git clone of `DemoSite-Inventory` is "giving me a headache", I've downloaded ZIP-ed version and imported to workspace.

While starting application I am having following issue:



So you will notice that CheckAvailabilityActivity having a problem of instantiating as Spring-bean, due to problem with `ClassNotFoundException`of org.broadleafcommerce.core.workflow.ModuleActivity.
Then I've opened class CheckAvailabilityActivity and found that it implements ModuleActivity interface.

In import of this class you will find that this ModuleActivity is part of `core`


But when I hit Ctrl + Shift + T (in Eclipse that should give me list of all available Types/Classes) I can't find it.

I've looked into broadleaf-framework-2.3.0-SNAPSHOT, but there is no such (ModuleActivity) class.


Can you please put some light to this ?

Thank You

Ok, attempting to get to all your questions today, looks like you've had a great conversation with yourself so far while we were all asleep!

First of all, what version of Broadleaf are you using, and what version of the inventory module are you using? For Broadleaf version, you need to be using at least version 2.2.1-SNAPSHOT for the inventory module, so I assume that you're already doing that.

Hi Phillip,

no we are not using version 2.2.1-SNAPSHOT of Broadleaf framework. Currently we are at version 2.2.0-GA of Broadleaf.
Is this an obstacle ?

To be honest I am looking at
- https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Inventory/blob/master/README.md and I can't find such information. Is the using 2.2.1-SNAPSHOT of Broadleaf framework prerequisite ?

Next, I've also checked the pom.xml of inventory module:
- https://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/Inventory/blob/master/pom.xml and found that dependency to BLC is


where ${blc.version} is defined in properties element of pom.xml as:


Am I missing something here?

Thank You for your answer
