Curator custom attributes

Custom attributes can be added to curator rules via the insights dashboard. Custom attributes configured as part of a curator rule are returned in the data model when the rule is triggered.

For instance when displaying an advert for a product, a custom field for the price and sku can be configured. The value of these fields will be returned in the data model, enabling a template author to display these values next to the product advert.

Each field can be configured with a key (e.g. price) and a label (e.g. Product price). All the configured fields will be displayed as a drop-down list in the Curator editing interface.

e.g. Setting a custom attribute Product price:

ui modern curator custom fields collection cfg

Will result in the fields being returned in the data model as:

"additionalProperties": {
  "Product price": "275",
  ...
}

It is also possible to configure custom attributes via results page and search package configuration keys by setting the ui.modern.curator.custom_fields attributes. Attributes set when defining the curator rule are included in the curator.json configuration.

To add two custom fields: * A price with the label Product price * A sku with the label Product identifier

Configuration parameter Value

ui.modern.curator.custom_fields.price

Product price

ui.modern.curator.custom_fields.sku

Product identifier

Accessing curator custom attributes

  1. Set up the custom curator attributes you would like to use.

  2. Edit your FreeMarker code. The below example will add a custom class to your curator rule.

    Add FreeMarker code to display the curator rules and place the exhibit.additionalProperties.class in the desired tag:

    FreeMarker template (e.g. simple.ftl)
    <#list (response.curator.exhibits)![] as exhibit>
<#-- Skip best bets -->
	<#if exhibit.category != "BEST_BETS">
		<#if exhibit.messageHtml??>
  <#-- Simple message -->
  <blockquote class="blockquote search-exhibit ${(exhibit.additionalProperties.class)!}">
    ${exhibit.messageHtml?no_esc}
  </blockquote>
<#elseif exhibit.descriptionHtml??>
  <#-- Rich message -->
  <div class="card search-exhibit ${(exhibit.additionalProperties.class)!}">
    <div class="card-header">
      <h4><a href="${exhibit.linkUrl!}">${exhibit.titleHtml!}</a></h4>
    </div>
    <div class="card-body">
      <#if exhibit.displayUrl?? && exhibit.displayUrl != "-"><cite class="text-success">${exhibit.displayUrl}</cite></#if>
      <#if exhibit.descriptionHtml??>${exhibit.descriptionHtml?no_esc}</#if>
    </div>
  </div>
</#if>
	</#if>
</#list>

Other uses

Additional properties can be set to do the following:

  • Add unique IDs to each curator rule click to allow compatibility with Google tag manager

  • Add positions to each curator rule to allow displays on different parts of the search results page
