uStore Input Controls

Introduction

uStore version 25.2 introduced a new preset that allows store adminstrators to install custom Input Controls (also known as DUCs - Dial User Controls). Input Controls are used on Dynamic product pages in Single Page or NG mode and can provide more features or flexibility for shoppers when customizing dynamic products. For example, instead of using the default text input, drop-down list, or radio button controls, a custom Input Control can provide a more relevant user control for the shopper to select or enter a value that is used in the dynamic document.

This page is a repository of Input Controls created by XMPie users which may be of help for others.

Installing and using custom Input Controls

For information on how to develop or write your own Input Controls, refer to the Input Control Development Guide

This uStore Help Page explains how to install or update an Input Control.

Once the Input Control is installed, you can select and configure it on the Customization Wizard Setup page when creating or editing a dynamic product.

Custom Input Controls

• Subordinate Select - similar to dependent dropdown
• Dropdown List with Other - show a preconfigured list but allow free text input
• Text with Counter - show a text area with character counter and set limit
• CMYK Color Selector - simple color picker
• Custom Date Picker - Configurable date and/or time picker with business-hours and weekend/holiday blocking
