Custom Template Management

The Custom Template Management utility allows iStore sites to display flash images or images of any other extension, as landing page, promo bins etc in a minisite.

This utility allows the administrator to upload the flash files / images for templates that can be used in following areas:

Landing Page
Center Page
Catalog Left Bin
Catalog Right Bin
Cart Left Bin
Cart Right Bin
Bottom Bin

The user has the option to upload any type of file (Flash, non-flash) for the above listed templates. The iStore pages will display these uploaded files on the browser while loading the corresponding minisite.

Also, note that these files need not be ftped to the $OA_MEDIA directory, Custom Template Management utility takes care of this functionality as well. Where in a typical Oracle iStore Template Management we assign it to a Media object and then assoicate the media object to a bin, after which an administrator of the server has to ftp the files to the $OA_MEDIA directory. Custom Template Management utility cuts down on the maintenance time of the site and deployment of new images (including Flash, which is not supported by iStore), is much more easier.
