From the 8.3 release doc:

"Dynamic Smart Searches with dynamic values depending on context
Area: Smart Search
Description: Smart searches can utilize dynamic values in generation such as * @Request(...) Get value from current request * @Session(...) Get value from current session * @Product(...) Get value from current product (if any), e.g. to show similar products
Version: 8.3.0.0"

 

 

I do not understand how to use this. Can DW provide some samples?


I like the idea but how can i use this.

The item type "News item" on http://items.dynamicweb.dk/ uses a number of dynamic default values (see https://github.com/dynamicweb/itembasedmodules/blob/master/Files/System/Items/ItemType_News_Item.xml).

The manual also shows a few examples: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=7592#31782 (the section "Context sensitive default values")

Best regards,

That's great but i thought this was ment for ecom smart searches.

Can i add dynamic parameters to the rule values? For example manufacturers or a product custom field value.

Sorry. I completely misread your question.

Now for the right answer: Currently Dynamicweb only supports dynamic values in text fields in eCom smart searches, i.e. you can not use dynamic values with Manufacturer and similar fields where you pick the value from a dropdown list. We're working on fixing this.

See attached image for a simple example of selecting "Other products", i.e. products where "ProductID is not @Product(ID)". Inside @Product(…) your can use any property on the Product object (http://developer.dynamicweb-cms.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Products.Product_properties.html).
