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.....

The KonaKart Admin App is a GWT application.

You can change the styles in KonakartAdmin.css

The Admin App uses the KonaKart Admin API for ALL functionality so you could create a JSP application of your own that did this as well if you wanted to.

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.

The GWT Admin App uses the KK APIs so you can build a completely new admin app using whatever technology you prefer. This is also true for the store front application. i.e. We have live sites written in Apache Wicket and CMS systems where the store front functionality has been integrated using APIs.

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

This is something that you could do completely outside of KonaKart. i.e. Have your own business engine alongside KonaKart. If you wanted to make use of the KK persistence layer then you could create a custom table using the custom torque schema and custom API calls where you add your own code to write and read from the new table.

You can use the custom panel facility in the admin app which allows you to integrate any external application as a frame and supplies you with a framework to implement the standard admin app role based security.
