Developer Notes

As of December 2007, the downloadable product database contains the following fields:

  • PN (Part Number): the Blue Sea Systems part number for the product
  • ProductTitle: the name of the product.
  • Specs: an HTML fragment containing a table with complete product specifications, identical to the specifications table on the “detailed specifications” tab on bluesea.com. We have intentionally not included the <table> and </table> tags so that you can add your own CSS class to that tag. If we use any images in this table, they use a fully qualifed URL in their src attribute in order to minimize your effort; you do not need to mirror images.
  • ProductLineID: the database ID of the product line to which a particular product belongs. These numbers are not meaningful on their own and are not represented in the Blue Sea Systems catalog, but can be used to group items by product line, and you can easily exclude or include specific product lines by ID. You can also build links to the product line's page on bluesea.com with bluesea.com/productline/[id]
  • ProductLineTitle: the title of the product line to which a particular product belongs.
  • Features: an HTML fragment containing a list of features, identical to the bulleted feature list on the products' page on bluesea.com. We have not included the <ul> and </ul> tags (this is intentional, so that you can add your own CSS class to that tag).
  • ImageLink: the product highlights / callout image for the product line to which a particular product belongs.
  • CertificationsAndAgencyStandards: an HTML fragment containing a list of certifications and agency standards, if any, which this product has received or complies with. We have not included the <ul> and </ul> tags (this is intentional, so that you can add your own CSS class to that tag). This list can be combined with the feature list if you wrap them both in a single <ul> tag.
  • AdditionalHTML: an HTML fragment containing data, if any, that doesn't fit into the other categories available. The most frequent example is the delay curve chart for fuses and circuit breakers, but there are also sometimes secondary tables that supplement the specs table.
  • BlueSeaURL: the fully qualified URL to the product's page on bluesea.com.
  • ProductLineRolloverImage: the fully qualified URL to a 400x100 image containing representative products from the product line.

How you integrate the data contained in the file depends on the structure of your database.
