5.10.5. Augmenting WCS Content

In the commerce-led scenario you can augment pages from the WCS, such as PDPs or categories, with content from the CMS system. The following sections describe the steps required in Studio.

In general, extending a shop page with CMS content comprises the following steps, which will be explained in the corresponding sections. It is supposed that the WCS and CMS systems are connected as describe in Section 5.4, “Connecting with an IBM WCS Shop”.

  1. Augment the root channel of the WCS catalog as described in Section 5.10.5.1, “Augmenting the Root Node”

  2. In the CMS create a document of type Augmented Category or Augmented Page.

  3. When you augment a category, the connection between the category and the Augmented Category content is automatically created. For the Augmented Page you have to create this connection manually via a property, which contains a part of the URL to the page.

  4. In the Augmented Category or Augmented Page choose a page layout that corresponds to the shop page layout. It should contain all the placements for which there are CoreMedia Content Widgets defined on the WCS side.

  5. Drop the augmenting content into the right placements of the Augmented Category or Augmented Page content item. That is, into a placement whose name corresponds with the name defined in the CoreMedia Content Widget.
