Site Management Tools Custom Content Type

This information refers to the Kilimanjaro release of SuiteCommerce Advanced or later.

The custom content type in Site Management Tools lets Commerce extension developers create custom website applications or features, all managed through the Site Management Tools interface. This lets Commerce users add custom content and expand their website’s features with Site Management Tools. There are two main steps to add custom content types to your Commerce site. First, you create your custom Commerce module. This means creating your JavaScript code, CSS, and other resources your module needs. These must all be implemented by following Commerce best practice.

See Create Custom Content Types for SMT for best practice on creating a custom CCT module.

After you create your custom module, the next step is to setup the CCT for use in Site Management Tools. This process includes the following:

Create the custom records and fields for your custom content type. See Custom Record for Custom Content Type.
Create the Content Type Record for your custom content type. See CMS Content Type Record.
Enable the Custom Content Type in the SMT Content Manager. See Settings.
