Product detail pages give you detailed information concerning a specific product. That includes price, technical details and many more. You can enhance these pages with content from the CoreMedia system by adding the CoreMedia Content Widget similar to the category overview page.

Similar to the category overview pages, the Category ID and placement name are passed to CoreMedia Content Cloud in order to locate the content.

For product detail pages, the page can be directly augmented with an Augmented Product content type. If this is not the case, CoreMedia Content Cloud uses the same lookup as described for the category overview page. The only slight difference that the site root Augmented Page content item is not considered as a default for the product detail page.

The content to augment is taken from a separate page grid of the Augmented Category, called Product Content or from the Content tab of the Augmented Product.

Adding CMS Assets to Product Detail Pages

You can enhance product detail pages with assets from the CoreMedia system by adding the CoreMedia Product Asset Widget. Since this area is by default not managed via CMS Cockpit, the CoreMedia Product Asset Widget is added directly to the productDetailsPanel.tag.

The Product ID and orientation are passed to CoreMedia Content Cloud in order to locate and layout the assets.

To find assets for product detail pages, CoreMedia Content Cloud searches for the picture content items which are assigned to the given product. These items are then sorted in alphabetical order. See Section 6.6, “Advanced Asset Management” in Blueprint Developer Manual for details.
