Display custom product text type in ISA catalog

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Does anyone have details on whether custom text types (apart from the basic text type) could be displayed on the Internet Sales catalog (catalog/ProductsISA.jspcatalog/ProductsISAHeader.jsp) and Product details (ProductDetailISA.jsp) screens?

I cannot extend the catalog by adding additional attributes since the size of the data is large and would need a text type.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

The custom text types will automatically be replicated to TREX after an initial replication as catalog attributes (TEXT_Z...).

On the catalog screen, catalog/ProductsISA.jsp, use the following code to retrieve the custom text type:

item.getAttribute("TEXT_ZXXX")

On the product details screen, catalog/ProductDetailISA.jsp, use the following code to retrieve the custom text type:

currentItem.getAttribute("TEXT_ZXXX")

Let me know if you need anything further.

Thanks,

Rohini.

Does this works with R/3 backend, too?

Thanks Ganesh.

Unfortunately, I have one more question for you.

I have already done the steps till Step 4. However, I'm not sure on how to add the text type as an attribute since product attributes can be String/Short String or Char(max of 255).

Could you please give me more details. Once I have the text types as attributes I guess I could follow the extension guide for extending the web catalog.

Your help on this os greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks Ganesh for your response.

I have 2 custom text types in addition to the basic text type that I need to display in the catalog and product details. So just the sales area text would not suffice, moreover, the data is sales area independent.

Could you please suggest the alternative you mentioned.

Thanks.

Hi,

This is what you have to do.

1. You can create texy types Under spro-basic functions- textmanagement- create text types.

2. Assign these text types to text detrmination procedure.

3. Check whether this text detrmination procedure has been assigned to catalog types.

4. These text types will be displayed in product catalog now.

5. In ISA include the text types as additional attributes.

Hope it helps
