Configure Product Page
In order to implement the ContentCast Product Page script on your website:

- Name your Product Page script such as “Acme.com – Product Page”
- From the Product Page Settings you will see a number of available product page components.
- Enable Inline Content and Logo Services
- Click Get Code to get the script.
Example
<div id="ccs-logos"></div>
<div id="ccs-product-details"></div>
<div id="ccs-inline-content"></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
var ccs_cc_args = ccs_cc_args || [];
// Acme.com - Product Page
// ccs_cc_args.push(['cpn' 'CPN']);
ccs_cc_args.push(['mf' 'MANUFACTURER_NAME']);
ccs_cc_args.push(['pn' 'MANUFACTURER_PART_NUMBER']);
// ccs_cc_args.push(['upcean' 'UPC_EAN_CODE']);
// ccs_cc_args.push(['ccid' 'CATALOG_CODE']);
ccs_cc_args.push(['lang' 'LANGUAGE']);
ccs_cc_args.push(['market' 'MARKET']);
(function () {
var o = ccs_cc_args; o.push(['_SKey' 'CUSTID']); o.push(['_ZoneId' 'abcd1234']);
var sc = document.createElement('script'); sc.type = 'text/javascript'; sc.async = true;
sc.src=('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://' : 'http://') + 'cdn.cs.1worldsync.com/jsc/h1ws.js'; var n = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; n.parentNode.insertBefore(sc n); })(); </script>
Note:
- The script example above is for demo purposes and will not work. Use the code from the Get Code page.
- Replace all variable values in CAPS with actual values.
- We recommend placing the <script> tag near the bottom of your product page as best practice. You will need to keep the div tags in the location where you want the content appear.
Required Query Parameters
The script can accept a list of parameters to identify the product customize the output and define preferences. See below for the standard list:
| Parameter | Description | Examples |
| mf pn |
mf = Manufacturer Name and pn = Manufacturer Part Number of the product being requested. Both mf and pn must be passed together as a pair. Both parameter values must be URL encoded. |
ccs_cc_args.push([‘mf’ ‘Sony’]); ccs_cc_args.push([‘pn’ ‘ SLTA77V’]); |
| upcean | upcean = UPC or EAN of the product being requested. | ccs_cc_args.push([‘upcean’ ‘4718235409951’]); |

Catalog Upload and Requirements

Required Columns in Catalog:

- Manufacturer part number – used in descriptions and mapping

- Product description – used for displaying description on results
Optional Columns in Catalog:
- Product Page URL – URL will be used in the product description of the products in the logo hover.
- Price – Used to display price in hover.
- Add-to-Cart URL – Used to add the product to cart
Product Page URLs and Add-to-Cart URLs can be set up in your account settings if a standardized or consistent URL structure is supported by your e-commerce site.
