6.2.3.7. Adding CMS Pages or Articles to the WCS

[Note]Note

As a prerequisite, you need to define a CoreMediaContentDisplay Page in the WCS that contains the CoreMedia Widget as described in the section called “Adding Widget to new Page”. The CoreMediaContentDisplay feature is only available, when the SEO-URL configuration of your IBM WCS has been customized by your administrator as described in Section 3.3.12, “Setting up SEO URLs for CoreMedia Pages” in CoreMedia Digital Experience Platform 8 Developer Manual.

You can not only augment existing pages in the WCS, but you can also add pages or Articles to the WCS that were completely created in the CMS. The navigation behavior differs slightly, depending on the scenario implemented at your company:

  • In the commerce-led scenario all pages are delivered by the WCS system and you only use the CMS to augment this content. The navigation is completely maintained by the WCS. So, when you add a page it is not included in the navigation, but can only be reached through links or teasers.

  • In the content-led scenario, on the other hand, the navigation is created by the CMS. So, when you add your page to the navigation of the site root Page item, it will be shown in the main navigation. See, Section 6.2.3.12, “Changing the Navigation” for more details on the navigation.

In order to add a CMS page or article to your WCS pages, proceed as follows:

  1. Create a new page or article in your site folder.

  2. In the new page, add the content of the page to the Main placement in the Content tab.

    or

    Enter your content into the new Article content.

  3. The page must be part of the site. Therefore, link the new page from the Navigation Children property of the site root Augmented Page or from any other page that is part of the site.

  4. Link the new page or article from other content, which is shown in WCS pages. For example, in a collection which is shown on an augmented category page.

    Now, when you click the link to the new page or article in the catalog, you will see the content with the catalog header and footer.
