6.2.3.1 Search Path for CMS Content for the Content Widget

Adding the CoreMedia Content Widget to a slot of a layout managed by the commerce system as described in Section 6.2.3.2, “Adding CoreMedia Content Widget to Commerce System” is the main way to get content from the CMS into pages delivered by the commerce system.

In general, you can define content at the following positions:

The content that is shown in the slot is taken from specific Augmented Pages, Augmented Categories or Augmented Product items in your site hierarchy. These pages must have a placement in the Content or Product Content tab that matches with the placement defined in the CoreMedia Content Widget. To make editing easy, the page grid of these pages will correspond to the layout of your catalog page (depends on your system configuration).

Example of a page with a page grid for fragment use. The placements that corresponds to the commerce layout are highlighted in blue and are the only ones that can be edited.

The following list shows how the CoreMedia system determines the placement the content of which should be inserted into a commerce category overview page. The search is done hierarchically along categories of the commerce system's category tree.

  1. Select the Augmented Page that is connected with the store. This is the site root page.

  2. In this site, find an Augmented Category content item for the requested category.

    1. If there is no Augmented Category for the requested category, search the parent categories upwards until you find an Augmented Category.

    2. If there is no Augmented Category at all, take the Catalog root Augmented Page.

  3. Now, an Augmented Category content item has been found. The augmenting content is taken from a placement in the page grid, that corresponds to the placement name, defined in the Content Widget.

  4. If the placement does not exist, the Augmented Page site root is taken and the content from the corresponding placement is taken.

Figure 6.21, “Decision diagram” shows this process in more detail.
