Enumeration: TabFileMode

Defines how files in product tabs are sourced and referenced.

This enum specifies whether file references are static (pre-defined) or dynamically generated based on the current configuration. It serves a similar purpose to the ProductThumb.type enum, but specifically for document and file references in product tabs.

Remarks​

While conceptually similar to ProductThumb.type, TabFileMode is specialized for file references. Both enums distinguish between static pre-defined resources and dynamically generated ones:

  • In DYNAMIC mode, file paths are generated at runtime by filling a pattern with values from the current configuration options.

  • In STATIC mode, file paths are fixed and point to pre-defined resources in the media library.

Enumeration Members​

DYNAMIC​

DYNAMIC: "DYNAMIC"

Dynamic file paths generated based on the current configuration.

In this mode, file references are created at runtime by evaluating a pattern string and replacing placeholders with values from the selected configuration options. This allows for configuration-specific documents to be shown without having to manually define every possible combination.

Example pattern: "specs/{material#visibility-code}/{size#visibility-code}.pdf"

STATIC​

STATIC: "STATIC"

Static file references pointing to specific files in the media library.

In this mode, file references are fixed and don't change based on the product configuration. These are typically manually selected files from the media library that are relevant regardless of configuration choices.

Example: "brochures/product_overview.pdf"
