You can find your Site Key and Auth Key in the Emplifi portal or by contacting your Emplifi Customer Success team., (*8)

, (*10)
CRON Configuration
This extension depends on the Magento CRON being configured in order to work properly. Reference the Adobe Documentation for details on how to configure the Magento CRON., (*11)
Catalog Feed Export to Emplifi
If the Enable Automated Feed Submission configuration option is set to Yes, on a nightly basis, Magento will export a feed of all products to Emplifi. This feed will include links to product images. In order for this link to be accurate, you will need to do the following:, (*12)
- Login to the backend.
- Go to STORES > Configuration > GENERAL > Web
- Do the following (if you have multiple store views, follow these steps for each "Store View" scope):
- For the Base URLS > Base URL for User Media Files field, ensure a value is entered. If the field is blank, enter this value:
{{unsecure_base_url}}media/
- For the Base URLS (Secure) > Secure Base URL for User Media Files field, ensure a value is entered. If the field is blank, enter this value:
{{secure_base_url}}media/
Here is a screenshot of an example configuration:
, (*13)
If your store has 10,000 or more items in the catalog:
If your catalog has 10,000 or more items, the size of the export file can reach over 6Mb. Please check your php.ini or your htaccess files to ensure
that upload_max_filesize and post_max_size are set to a large enough value. We recommend setting them both to 10M., (*14)
Rating Import from Emplifi
If the Enable Reviews configuration option is set to Yes:, (*15)
-
The reviews that display on product detail pages will be loaded directly from Emplifi. Exactly how the review data gets pull from Emplifi is determined by the Setup Type setting., (*16)
-
The reviews that display on product listing pages will be loaded from the "Review Count" and "Rating" product attributes. Those attributes get updated on a CRON job that runs hourly. The CRON job will request an XML feed from Emplifi and will update those product attributes. If you encounter issues where those attributes are not updated like you'd expect, you can manually review the contents of the XML feed that Magento is retrieving from Emplifi by creating a url that matches this pattern: https://export.turnto.com/<SITE_KEY>/<AUTHORIZATION_KEY>/turnto-skuaveragerating.xml where <SITE_KEY> and <AUTHORIZATION_KEY> are the values you entered into the corresponding fields in the extension configuration fields in the Magento admin. The XML file is generated by Emplifi three times daily (at 3AM, 11AM, and 6PM EST/EDT). Once you approve a new review for a product, you'll need to wait a while to see the changes reflected in the XML file., (*17)
Custom Configuration
Note: This is an advanced configuration option and should only be configured by a developer., (*18)
If you need to customize the turnToConfig JS object which used by the extension to display content on the frontend, you can do so by adding a JS object to the STORES > Configuration > TURNTO SOCIAL COMMERCE > Configuration > Custom Configuration field. You must enter a valid JS object into this field, as the contents of the JS object that you enter will get merged with the contents of the existing turnToConfig object. Here is an example of a valid value that could be added to the Custom Configuration field:, (*19)
{
reviewTitleInstruction: 'Summary for your review',
eventHandlers: {
reviewSubmit: function(evt) {
// your code here
}
}
}
These are the following locations where the turnToConfig object gets output on the frontend:, (*20)
- Product detail pages (reviews, Q&A, checkout comment display widget, visual gallery widget)
- Checkout comments on checkout confirmation page
- Pinboard widget
When you add values to this configuration field, it is critical that you enter a valid JS object and that you test to ensure you didn't cause any JS errors., (*21)
Visual Content and Checkout Comment Pinboards
The Emplifi extension implements a custom widget that allows an admin to insert "Visual Content" pinboards or "Checkout Comment" pinboards. To insert this widget, edit a CMS page or CMS block and click the "Insert Widget…" button and select "TurnTo SpeedFlex". You'll then be able to configure and insert the widget using these options:, (*22)
, (*23)
Visual Content Gallery Row Widget
The Emplifi extension implements a custom widget that allows a user to toggle a gallery row of user submitted images on the product page. To enable this widget, go to Stores -> Configuration -> TurnTo SocialCommerce -> Configuration -> Visual Content -> Enable PDP Gallery Row and set the value to "Yes.", (*24)
