Basic design decisions for a commerce search setup ( with an ATG Search view)

In this blog I would like to explain the basic set of configuration/design decisions needed to setup an ATG search project. Most of these design decisions are common for all Enterprise search applications. 1. Decide the searchable properties : This means the properties that the business want the user to search in the ecommerce platform. In ATG search these are configured as the text properties in the product-catalog-output-config.xml ( the definitionFile of the \atg\commerce\search\ProductCatalogOutputConfig). Usually the displayName of product/sku, displayName of department/category/sub-category, skuId, brandName are the properties configured as searchable. 2. Decide the search refinement properties or the faceted properties : After a user search for a keyword, search refinement is the next step done to filter his results. ATG supports the search refinement using the Faceted Search concept. Read more about facted search @...

ATG - quick reference to commonly used DSP Tags

In this blog, I would like to give a quick reference to the most commonly used DSP Tags.Note that in this DSP tag details : bean refers to a Nucleus path, component name, and property name param refers to a Page parameter value refers to a Static-value var refers to a EL variable id refers to a scripting variable ============================================================== 1.dsp:importbean example: <dsp:importbean bean="/atg/dynamo/droplet/Switch"/> ============================================================== 2.dsp:page usage: It encloses a JSP. The dsp:page invokes the JSP handler, which calls the servlet pipeline and generates HTTPServletRequest. example: <dsp:page> ..... </dsp:page> ============================================================== 3.dsp:include usage: Embeds a page fragment in a JSP. example: <dsp:include src="/myPage/Result...

ATG - more about Forms and Form Handlers

An ATG form is defined by the dsp:form tag, which typically encloses DSP tags that specify form elements, such as dsp:input that provide direct access to Nucleus component properties. Find below a sample dsp:form tag. <dsp:form action="/testPages/showPersonProperties.jsp" method="post" target="_top"> <p>Name: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.name" type="text"/> <p>Age: <dsp:input bean="/samples/Person.age" type="text" value="30"/> <p><dsp:input type="submit" bean="/samples/Person.submit"/> value="Click to submit"/> </dsp:form> When the user submits the form, the /samples/Person.name property is set to the value entered in the input field.Unlike standard HTML, which requires the name attribute for most input tags; the name attribute is optional for DSP form element tags. If an input tag omits the n...

ATG CA - BCC home screen : how to add a new link

Activity source is the property which controls the links on the left nav on the BCC home screen. All activity sources are registered with the ActivityManager component at /atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager . When rendering the BCC home page, the ActivityManager cycles through all the registered ActivitySource components and displays left navigation links for each of them on the BCC home page. For example if I want to add a new link "My New Link" , below screen shots exaplins how this can be done 1. Add activityManager.properties to specify the activityresources. In this activityManager, I specified one MyActivitySource. 2. Add MyActivitySource.properties to specify the name of the link and the other details . Here it refers to a bundle properties file. 3. Add the bundle properties file to specify the name of the link. 4. Now you could see the new link...
