General Product Display

The General Product Display content item displays a single product that users can add to their cart.

This content item will add its title information, the product name, to the browser window or tab page title when the Use dynamic page titles checkbox is selected on the parent content record. If it is used in a website that uses a responsive theme, it will automatically adjust itself to different screen sizes.

There are additional features available for this content item:

• The content item can display collections of items, such as product kits.
• If the user has appropriate privileges, an edit link is displayed that opens the Item Creator content item. When clicked, the user can edit the product definition for the current item. The edit link is only available when viewing a product that is not contained in the cart that is currently in focus.
• If the content item is used in a website that uses a responsive theme, it will automatically adjust itself to different screen sizes.
• When the Show only the comparison price which does not apply to the customer (Standard or Discount) configuration option is selected, the price that does not apply to the customer is struck through.

General Product Display configuration options

• Name - Enter a name for the content item. This text appears during design mode (configuration).
• Title - Enter the text to display above this content item on the rendered page. If blank, no title is displayed.
• Do not render in design mode - Select this option to prevent content record data from being loaded in the content editor. This improves performance during design time (configuration).
• Display a border around this content - Select this option to display a border around this content item on the rendered page.
• Default product to display - (optional) Specify the code of the product to display.
• Display Style - Controls the layout of the content item on the web page. Select Horizontal if the content item is in a wide column that spans 66% or more of the width of the web page.

By default, a Horizontal display style is selected when you add a new General Product Display content item to a content record.

Image

• Display the item picture - Select this option to display the item picture in the listing.

• Picture width (px) - Enter the width, in pixels, for

• The Product Code or the Product ID can be passed as a URL parameter. Use iProductCode for a text string, such as: MUG or WATERBOTTLE. Use iProductID for the GUID product ID,
  such as iProductID= 4fe78e06-d0ae-4637-8122-c4e56a92f620.

• The ID the content item uses and displays depends on the context:

• If an On behalf of contact is selected, the content item loads the On behalf of contact's information.

• If no On behalf of contact is selected, the content item loads the signed in user's information.

• If the user is not signed in, the content item displays limited information.

• If a content record contains several dynamic content items, it is recommended that you turn dynamic page titles off for the entire page in order to limit the title length.
