Dealership and eComponent Server details
For a basic introduction to eComponents, click here.
Use this stage of the DMR Wizard to set the dealership and server details of your chosen eComponent.
Dealer ID
This is the numeric ID of your dealership. Any downstream dealers or commission earned will be associated with this dealership. This field is completed automatically when you access the DMR Wizard via dmAdmin, but you can set the eComponents to sell on behalf of a different dealership if you wish.
eComponent Server
The domain of the eComponent Server used to generate eComponent content.
This field is completed automatically when you access the DMR Wizard via dmAdmin, but there are some circumstances where you might want to overrule the automatic value.
For example, if you have pointed a domain that you control at 'affiliate.dmclub.net' then you can enter its name here.
Common domain
Leave this field blank unless
- You're using eComponents in a named target window or frame on your site; AND
- You want the result of an action to load the next page in that named target window or frame.
If you're using eComponents as above, you must set the common domain to the fragment of the eComponent Server domain and your website's domain that is shared. To use this setting you will need to point a subdomain that you own at ecom0live.dmclub.net, and then use this as the domain for your eComponent server.
For example, if you're hosting your sales site on www.marvellousnumbers.com and point ecom.marvellousnumbers.com at ecom.dmclub.net, you can use ecom.marvellousnumbers.com as your eComponent Server, and set the common domain to 'marvellousnumbers.com' - the fragment of the fully qualified names shared by both domains.
NB: Instructions on pointing a domain you control at ecom.dmclub.net are beyond the scope of this note. Contact dealersupport@dmclub.net for help with this.
CSS Link
To apply your own stylesheet to eComponents, you can put in the full URL of your stylesheet here. See the showcase for details and examples of custom stylesheets.
NB: Styling of eComponents is very new and still under development. We would welcome your ideas and feedback as we continue to develop this feature.
