Integrating OpenKM with your online store may seem like a challenging task, but with proper planning and following these steps, you can achieve a smooth integration:
Before integrating OpenKM with your online store, it is essential to organize the content efficiently. Create a clear and well-defined directory structure in OpenKM to store different types of documents. For example:
Make sure to tag each file with relevant metadata such as ISBN, author name, title, etc. This will make it easier to find and retrieve documents.
OpenKM provides a RESTful API that allows interaction with stored documents. Make sure OpenKM web services are enabled on your server.
To link your online store with OpenKM, you can follow two approaches:
API Integration: Develop a backend service in your online store that interacts with the OpenKM API to obtain the necessary files. When a product is displayed, this service can retrieve the cover image, content file, etc., from OpenKM based on the metadata (e.g., ISBN).
