Custom product detail screen configuration

Mandeep Sidhu
I was wondering if it is possible to provide a custom product detail screen
for each product by providing the url:
something like:
"component://ecommerce/widget/CatalogScreens.xml#categorydetail"

This feature is available for category pages though, but not sure if it's
available for each product as well.

Please throw some light on this, I am looking for custom look and feel for
different products based on the product type.

Thanks and regards,
Mandeep Singh Sidhu

What do you mean? productsummary page is rendered with  widgets as well (Widget name="productsummary").

So you can create different views, but I think you are more looking for something what you can define in the backend / CMS, arent you?

If you do it with the ftl, xml files you need to make your own condition, i.ex. <#if categoryId == xy>do sth.</if> 

Im not sure if it is allready integreated in backend CMS, cause I do not now much about the CMS system.

hope this helps.

Mandeep Sidhu
hmm, but that'll be last resort for me.

I was wondering if like a custom category detail page, I can have custom
product detail page screen defined while configuring my product via the
catalog manager.

can you guide me through the changes required to incorporate this, I just
want to make the product detail page dynamic.

Mandeep Sidhu

I think you can use a similar field 'detailScreen' on the Product table.

Re: Custom product detail screen configuration

Rishi Solanki
Mandeep,
In general, the product entity detailScreen field works. But if you are
looking for each product level then it is not very good ideal to keep one
detail screen for each product in a way you need to implement that screen.
Other way to achieve this is to setup different types of product content
and render it on product details page, the detail page will show the n
types of content setup for that detail. In general, The product detail page
have no functional differences but if it has, then we should go for product
detail. In other way if you want to show some specific information about
product then product content will work perfectly.

Please have a look into the ProductContent entity and checkout how
different content can be associated with it.

HTH!

Re: Custom product detail screen configuration

Mandeep Sidhu
Thanks all for your valuable inputs!!!
Here's how I achieved what I was looking for.

On product page under webtools, I went into content tab and under the
"Override Simple Fields" section simply entered my detail screen name.

*Detail Screen : component://ecommerce/widget/MyScreens.xml#myproductDetail

*which did the trick :).

Page renders perfectly as per the requirements.*
