There are multiple locations within the .NET controls setup where you will need to specify a URL or property for the system to point to. These parameters are set up within the PWF Parameters form within Personify.
Depending on how you design your website, these PWF Parameters may be defined at different times in the process. If you are designing your website from the top down (i.e., you are defining the overall layout first, then building the pages underneath), the PWF Parameters CANNOT be defined until the building block pages are developed. Therefore, you have the option of creating placeholder parameter values that you are able to fill in later. Since some of the URLs defined on the e-Business web control definition screen are required, this option allows you to select the dummy data to continue. Enter dummy data in the Parameter Value field and come back to fill in the actual URL after the page has been developed. For example, if you are designing your Online Store page using the Product Listing control, the Product Detail pages may not have been developed yet. Therefore, you can define the "Product Detail URL" PWF Parameter with dummy data in the Parameter Value field. Once all of your pages have been defined in e-Business, you can come back to the PWF Parameter and enter the actual URL value.
There are multiple locations within the .NET controls setup where you will need to specify a URL or property for the system to point to, such as an error message. These parameters are set up within the PWF Parameters form within Personify.
If you are designing your website from the bottom up (i.e., your building block pages have been developed and now you are linking them together), the PWF Parameters can be defined first before selecting them in the e-Business web control definition screen. For example, if you have already defined your Product Detail page to be used with the Product Listing web control, you can define the PWF Parameter for "Product Detail URL" and enter the actual URL to be used in the Product Listing web control.
To set up PWF Parameters:
1. In
Personify, type PWFparameters
into the command line, as highlighted below. .
2. Click Create New Web Pwf Parameter.
3. Depending on the requirements of your website and web controls, you may need the URLs listed in the table below.
Please keep in mind that depending on your business requirements, some of these URLs may not already exist. For example, if you do not have a specific page that displays contact information, the Contact Us URL may not exist.
