PURPOSE

This cartridge manages pages with static content in the web site of a shop. Merchants can organize these pages in categories. The content can be managed in multiple languages.

CONCEPTS

Categories

Categories are used to organize pages with static content. A category object can have description text and an image. The root category of all content is a category with the alias "Categories", which is a child object of each shop. The root category cannot be deleted and the alias cannot be changed.

The common base class for all content pages and categories is ContentObject. Sub classes of ContentObject include Category, Article, FreeContent and Link. Categories can have child objects of type ContentObject. Categories can also contain products. The assignment of products to categories is implemented in the cartridge DE_EPAGES::Catalog.

Special pages

There are some special pages that cannot be created or deleted by merchants. For example: Terms and Conditions, Customer Information and Imprint.
