About this task

Procedure

  1. In the Enterprise Explorer view, navigate to Stores > WebContent > Madisons > include > styles > style1.
  2. Open CachedHeaderDisplay.jsp for editing.
  3. Edit the CachedHeaderDisplay.jsp file to include
    1. Locate the following code:
      <div id="autoSuggestStatic_1"></div>
      <div id="autoSuggestStatic_2"></div>
      <div id="autoSuggestStatic_3"></div>
    2. After the preceding code snippet, add the following line of code to create the Id for a fourth navigation suggestion group to display in your storefront:
      <div id="autoSuggestStatic_4"></div>
    3. Locate the following code snippet:
      // The auto suggest container ID's
      		var staticContentSectionDiv = ["autoSuggestStatic_1", "autoSuggestStatic_2", "autoSuggestStatic_3"]
    4. Add the variable, "autoSuggestStatic_4", which adds the Warranty navigation suggestion grouping to the store JSP to have the new grouping display in the storefront. Ensure that your code snippet resembles the following code:
      
      
      var staticContentSectionDiv = ["autoSuggestStatic_1", "autoSuggestStatic_2", "autoSuggestStatic_3","autoSuggestStatic_4"];
  4. Save and close the file.
  5. In the Enterprise Explorer view, navigate to Stores > WebContent > Madisons > Snippets > Search.
  6. Open CachedSuggestions.jsp for editing.
  7. Locate the following code for the web service call to retrieve the navigation suggestion group information:
    <wcf:getData type="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.datatypes.CatalogNavigationViewType" var="catalogNavigationView" 
    expressionBuilder="getCatalogNavigationView" scope="request" varShowVerb="showCatalogNavigationView" scope="request">
    	<wcf:param name="searchProfile" value="IBM_findNavigationSuggestions" />
    	<wcf:param name="categoryId" value="" />
    	<wcf:contextData name="storeId" data="${param.storeId}" />
    	<wcf:contextData name="catalogId" data="${param.catalogId}" />
    </wcf:getData>
  8. Modify the <wcf:getData element to call the new extension search profile for navigation suggestions, x_IBM_findNavigationSuggestions. To do so, modify the following line of code, labeled 1, to include an x_ prefix:
    <wcf:getData type="com.ibm.commerce.catalog.facade.datatypes.CatalogNavigationViewType" var="catalogNavigationView" 
    expressionBuilder="getCatalogNavigationView" scope="request" varShowVerb="showCatalogNavigationView" scope="request">
    	<wcf:param name="searchProfile" value="x_IBM_findNavigationSuggestions" /> 1
    	<wcf:param name="categoryId" value="" />
    	<wcf:contextData name="storeId" data="${param.storeId}" />
    	<wcf:contextData name="catalogId" data="${param.catalogId}" />
    </wcf:getData>
  9. Add code to handle the URL for the warranty type navigation suggestion. This code controls what happens when the customer clicks a navigation suggestion for warranty types:
    1. Locate the following block of code:
      <c:otherwise>
         <c:set var = "urlValue" value = "#"/>
      </c:otherwise>
    2. Above this block of code, add the following lines of code:
      <c:when test = "${suggestions.identifier == 'myID'}">
          <wcf:url var = "urlValue" value = "SearchDisplay">
              <wcf:param name = "langId" value = "${param.langId}"/>
              <wcf:param name = "storeId" value = "${param.storeId}"/>
              <wcf:param name = "catalogId" value = "${param.catalogId}"/>
              <wcf:param name = "sType" value = "SimpleSearch"/>
              <wcf:param name = "searchType" value = "0"/>
              <wcf:param name = "searchTerm" value = "${entry.name}"/>
              <wcf:param name = "searchTermScope" value = "100"/>
          </wcf:url>
      </c:when>
      Note: The preceding code sets the searchTermScope parameter value to 100. If you choose to specify a different parameter value, set a value greater than 100 to avoid potential conflict with future IBM releases.
    3. Save and close the file.
