SEO-settings
In the SEO settings you can define the structure for the SEO URLs of the product detail pages and categories. For this purpose you have a variety of variables at your disposal.
SEO-URL Templates
With the item Sales channel (1) you can determine whether you want to configure the configuration globally for all sales channels or only for a selected sales channel.
If you have selected a specific sales channel and want to go back to the general setting, just click into the selection field and delete the content. Afterwards "All sales channels" will be displayed again.
Product detail page
In the first line you can specify the template for the URL of the product detail page (2). Note that the variables must be specified in Twig format. The structure here is as follows:
{{ product.name }}Next to the field, a symbol shows you whether the variables stored in the SEO template are valid.
- A green tick means that the variables are correct.
- A red X indicates that at least one variable cannot be resolved and you must adjust the entry to save the settings.
To the right of the field for the SEO-URL template you can choose from several variables. These are automatically added to the back of the SEO-template by clicking on the variable.
It should be noted, that the variables can be multi-level and that these are not added completely. This requires a subsequent manual adjustment in the SEO template field. You can find the complete variables in the list below.
An example of a variable that is incomplete is
{{ product.translated.name }}In the selection on the right side the variable
{{ product.translated }}is displayed. However, this is a "multi-level" variable and requires the complete specification of the further level. Here it is therefore necessary to add this manually.
.name
Examples of article variables
| Description | Variable |
|---|---|
| Order number | {{ product.productNumber }} |
| ID | {{ product.id }} |
| Name | {{ product.name }} |
| EAN | {{ product.ean }} |
| Manufacturer name | {{ product.manufacturer.name }} |
| Publication date | {{ product.releaseDate }} |
| Meta Title | {{ product.metaTitle }} |
| Description | {{ product.description }} |
| Keywords | {{ product.keywords }} |
| Breadcrumb | {% for part in product.mainCategory.breadcrumb %}{{ part }}/{% endfor %} |
There are generally more variables available. However, since these provide content that leads to regular changes in the URL and this has a negative influence on the ranking, we will not go into this further here.
Category page
In the second field you can adjust the template for the category page (3). The default category structure (the so-called breadcrumb) is used here. If you want to adjust the template for the categories, you can use the following variables
Examples of category variables
| Description | Variable |
|---|---|
| Breadcrumb | {% for part in category.seoBreadcrumb %}{{ part }}/{% endfor %} |
| ID | {{ category.id }} |
| Name | {{ category.name }} |
| Meta-Title | {{ category.metaTitle }} |
| Description | {{ category.description }} |
| Meta-description | {{ category.metaDescription }} |
Filtering
It is possible to include filters in the SEO template. For example, this allows the entire URL to be written in lower case.
The filters are added with a "|" separated behind the variable within the {{}}.
For example, the lower case of the product name could be as follows
{{ product.name|lower }}With a FOR loop, this is appended to the {{ part|lower }}.
In general you can use the available Twig filters. For more information, see the Twig documentation at https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/filters/index.html
Rebuild SEO index
After you have made changes to the SEO template, it is necessary to rebuild the index so that the URLs are updated.
You can do this from the console using the command
php bin/console dal:refresh:index
