Advanced Webstore Item templates

We've MOVED!!!! www.codeboxllc.com/ksc

I learned something cool last night. Do join me in celebrating my slow learning process of NetSuite.

Did you know you can set custom drill down webstore template at an individual item level?


Route I took to customizing look and feel of our webstore is to take a pre-designed template from NetSuite and modifying it. I can set default product drill down template for both Welcome and Product layouts.
For most folks, product drill down template doesn't have to be "Special", but for me, it had to be special. Especially when item options varies and you have to apply special validations against it.

If items in your webstore requires special attention for item detail page, definitely look into using this.

Try to abstract out different types of item detail page you'd need and group them together. When you create your drill down templates, it'll be based on these grouping.

You can gain access to creating different templates by going to Web Site Item/Category Templates page.
Setup > Web Site > Item/Category Templates


You can set individual drill down template per item by following these steps:

  1. List > Accounting > Items > Select the webstore item you wish to add custom drill down template
  2. Click on Store or Webstore tab. (This depends on the item you've selected)
  3. Next to "Item Drilldown Template", select your newly created template
  4. Save
It's a small things that makes me happy these days. This saved me from coding different javascript validation for each items with varying item options.
