08/11/2023, 2:01 PMThere are widely scoped content areas if you use the Site Management Tools
w
Will
08/11/2023, 2:19 PMso only through those tools? like the dev tools?
s
Steve Goldberg
08/11/2023, 2:53 PMNo, they’re just the easiest to accomplish what you want.
Steve Goldberg
08/11/2023, 2:53 PMYou could write an extension to do that
Steve Goldberg
08/11/2023, 2:53 PMYou could create a custom theme to do that

Will
08/18/2023, 5:02 PMI'm just surprised @Steve Goldberg - like.. how are we not able to edit text on a page without having a developer, when we have a theme that is supposed to be no-code?? it seems like either im missing something or Netsuite is? 😂

08/22/2023, 10:54 AMI think you are. The site management tools (SMTs) are the WYSIWYG / drag-and-drop tools that require zero coding
Steve Goldberg
08/22/2023, 10:55 AMIt comes with a number of basic content types (such as images and text) as well as the option for extra, more complex ones (such as carousels or featured products) which can also be dragged and dropped into the page
Steve Goldberg
08/22/2023, 10:56 AMWe have added to all pages SMT ‘zones’ that can have content dropped into them and each of them is scoped differently: some apply only to the specific page (eg a particular PDP) and some apply to all pages of that type (eg all PDPs) and some apply globally, such as those in the header and footer
Steve Goldberg
08/22/2023, 10:56 AMAll of this requires zero coding
Steve Goldberg
08/22/2023, 10:56 AMSo, as I said, I would recommend doing that
Steve Goldberg
08/22/2023, 10:56 AMBut, if you wanted to, you could write an extension or make a customisation to your theme to do it
Steve Goldberg
08/22/2023, 10:57 AMSo, actually, I think we’ve done a good job of providing multiple customisation opportunities to you, based on your skill level and how you want to make the change

Will
09/27/2023, 3:46 PMYou're right - and I have been using the options available to create better looking pages with HTML / CSS. The problem is that I can't change the copy on system pages.. like the checkout page, cart page, etc. I can't add sale images or coupons or even add text to help the customer journey. does that make sense @Steve Goldberg?
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 3:55 PMWell, there are a number of SMT content areas in the templates for the checkout and cart, so you should be able to drag and drop content into them, even if it’s just simple text. Looking at the HTML templates for the order wizard (ie checkout) I can see them present in all the templates I’ve looked at so far. If you want to change the text provided by default then you can change that in the configuration record, via an extension, or template change (if you’re using an unmanaged theme).
Do you have an example of what you’re not able to do? I think you should be able to do the things you’ve just listed.
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 3:56 PMSorry if this is obvious, do you know that you can access ‘secure’ parts of the site in the site management tools? You just need a dummy customer account and then just log in with it while previewing the site.

Will
09/27/2023, 4:00 PMhey man im new to netsuite - i don't know jack and am comfortable saying so. happy to follow instructions, and start at the most basic level so that i can better help my org and our customers 🙂
Will
09/27/2023, 4:02 PMso i just signed into a dummy account, added an item to the cart and began the checkout process... here's a screenshot of a place that i'd like to be able to add something (potentially.. not saying i do, this is an example -- see RED box drawn)
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:04 PMSo just above that is the cart summary box and that has a zone into which you can drop stuff
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:05 PMSo if you click the pencil and select a content type, you should be able to drag that into one of the placeholder spaces
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:05 PMBut that white box specifically probably doesn’t have a placeholder
w
Will
09/27/2023, 4:07 PMbut how do i access that zone from my admin account? (i wasn't logged into the CMS when i did that)
Will
09/27/2023, 4:07 PMOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Will
09/27/2023, 4:07 PMi see it now!
Will
09/27/2023, 4:07 PMAHHHHHHHHH!
Will
09/27/2023, 4:07 PMthank you!
Will
09/27/2023, 4:09 PMhere's what i did...
log into CMS > hover over the name that is now logged in (as the dummy account that you suggested i create) > cart .. and voila - i can edit that page! .. i presume if i continue clicking through these pages that ill continue having the option to edit them. thank you very very very much!
Will
09/27/2023, 4:10 PMam i doing this correct?
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:17 PMYeah that’s right
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:19 PMSo you can drop those simple blocks in if you know how to do HTML/CSS/JS, or you can browse SuiteApp.com looking at the extensions that have more complex content types, such as featured product
w
Will
09/27/2023, 4:25 PMyeah, i can write html / css no problem. that's how we've been creating more contentful pages, like mojotone.com/amp-shop (originally this was just a bunch of products pulled from that general category)
Will
09/27/2023, 4:27 PMps; suiteapp.com is returning a 502 err
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:28 PMIt needs the dubdubdub. Not sure why
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:28 PMw
Will
09/27/2023, 4:32 PMand im presuming that all of these extensions are expensive, right?
Will
09/27/2023, 4:32 PMi dont see a cost on any of them
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:46 PMNo, literally the opposite. All of the ones built by NetSuite are free
w
Will
09/27/2023, 4:46 PMoh!
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:46 PMI can’t speak for the partner ones.
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 4:47 PMThey’re also available in SuiteBundler, and they should all have associated documentation in the Help Center if you want to read more
w
Will
09/27/2023, 4:51 PMwill do. that featured product thing seems like it might be useful, especially if i can select a category / subcategory of products instead of just one SKU... for when we have sales running (like we will have come october)
Will
09/27/2023, 4:55 PMdo you know, by chance, if netsuite has a question and answer extension?
s
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 5:07 PMWell if you want to feature a particular category, use the featured category extension 🙂
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 5:07 PMAnd no, that’s not something we have an extension for
Steve Goldberg
09/27/2023, 5:07 PMYou can use Map & Contact, which has a ‘contact us’ form, but it’s more general
w
Will
09/27/2023, 5:54 PMah.. okay.
