Card Manager

URLs

Various admin/content editing areas (eg. Newstories, ContentPageEditor, ImageList/TileList.txt) of the WebPortal allow users to add and edit Hyperlinks.

If you enter a valid URL into this field (eg. www.bbc.co.uk), the image will redirect the user to the URL entered.  And checking the “Click Opens in New Window” checkbox will mean that the URL will be opened in a new browser page.

You can also enter URL’s which redirect the user to specific pages within the site.

For Example.  The following URL would redirect the user to the Live WebPortal Store.

http://testshop.card-manager.com/Store/index

This can also be also written as:

/Store/index

(note that the above format is recommended, as the URL will redirect appropriately, regardless of whether the user is visiting the test or live WebPortals)

Query Strings

Entering a valid URL along with a querystring will redirect the user to the Store page and set the desired filters.

This takes the following form: ?[filter]=[code]

(note that the question mark (?) is only used once and begins the querystring)

These Filters can be identified via the “Filter Names” Settings page in Admin.

(Options > Administration > Settings > Filter Names)

For Example. The following would set the Season filter(filter0) to Everyday (E).

/Store/index?filter0=E

It’s important to remember that the “Code” used directly relates to the Code used in CM and not its description.

For Example. To select the Range filter for “WENDY JONES BLACKETT” you would use the following URL:

/Store/Index?filter4=WJB

Multiple Query Strings

Additional queries can be entered after the first, separated by the ampersand symbol (&).

For Example. The following would set the Season filter(filter0) to Everyday (E) and searches for designs containing ‘age10.

/Store/index?filter0=E&search=age10

Search Filter

The Search filter uses a database text query (SQL Server's "Full-Text Search") to analyze, search terms entered by the user, and return design codes that contain the search term in their design code, description, coding (ProductGroup, Captions, etc) , and metatag data.

By default, search terms entered containing spaces, will be interpreted as a logical "AND"; which will return design codes that contain all of the terms entered.

For Example. The following search term "birthday celebrations" would only identify designs containing both the words "birthday" and "celebrations".

To search for multiple terms, a logical "OR" is used, by prefixing the search term with the pipe '|' character.

For Example. "|birthday celebrations" would identify designs containing both terms "birthday celebrations", and "birthday" designs as well as designs containing "celebrations".
