Adding SmartTarget navigation seems straightforward using the Show SmartTarget Navigation
Template Building Block with the following layout template snippet:
<tcdl:region id="Sidebar" type="SmartTarget">
</tcdl:region>
I understand we also have attributes for the TBB:
- Page Region
- Show Categories
- Show number of items
- Header markup
- Footer markup
Could I somehow influence the header and footer markup using Tridion fields or items in the template package? Or would it make sense to localize the template for BluePrinting that markup?
In addition to this it looks like we have to set up "live attributes" in the System Manager. Are these the configured fields that show up in SmartTarget navigation?
Do they become (Tridion) dynamic links? I'm trying to understand the pieces we need for SmartTarget Navigation.
Edit: Noticed this post by Jonathan Williams giving some functional background on ST Navigation, Search, and Promotions.
