To prepare either a Product Comparison metaphor or a Product Exploration metaphor for a category, do the following:
- Create an XML input file
- To build a Product Explorer metaphor within a category, type the
following:
<productExplorer> </productExplorer> To build a Product Comparison metaphor within a category, type the following:<productComparer> </productComparer> - Insert a template element between the metaphor begin and end tags
to specify the JSP page that the metaphor will be based upon. The template
element will look similar to the following:
<template>pe51.jsp</template>
Where pe51.jsp would be replaced by the path and file name for some JSP that you have created for this purpose. - Place the following elements between the metaphor begin and end
tags, but after the template element for each feature you wish to update:
<feature> <columnName></columnName> <order></order> <display></display> <widget></widget> </feature>
Note: The widget element only applies to Product Explorer metaphors. For information about the content for these tags, refer to the following topics:
- Save the XML file.
- Update the production server by importing the updated XML file.
