About the Extension
The plugin „Lexicon+: The glossary for your shop“ enables you to build up a comprehensive glossary straight away. Thus, you can feed your customers with additional information, which is relevant for your sector or for your customers. You create trust by sharing knowledge and extend the length of stay in your shop. Furthermore, with the plugin you have the option to link matching products to each term and to set automatic links to categories, articles and lexicon entries within just one click, whereby you can increase your sales significantly.
With the homepage of the lexicon, you have the opportunity to give your visitors an introduction to the content and further information.
The active term names will be automatically sorted according to the initial letter of their names. Only the initial letters which contain active terms will be displayed. Thus, you have the opportunity to create and extend your lexicon step by step and to start with the first term straight away.
In the search bar, which is displayed on every page within the lexicon, you can search for lexicon entries and linked articles. At least three characters must be entered in the search bar. A maximum of four lexicon entries and a maximum of three linked articles are always displayed in the search suggestions. A lexicon entry can be selected directly from the search suggestions. Via enter key you are linked to a page which includes all search results.
To give two additional examples, the lexicon can also be used for frequently asked questions (FAQs) or as a guide for the visitors of your shop. You have the choice of how you want to use the plugin in order to offer your visitors and customers added value. The base URL is always: www.your-shop.com/lexicon/yout-custom-url
Configuration
Plugin configuration
Open the plugin via “marketing” -> “lexicon”.
Lexicon homepage (“global settings”)
You can configure the homepage of the lexicon via “global settings” in the plugin.
Lexicon URL: The standard link address is www.ihr-shop.de/Lexikon/. This address can be edited as desired. The “lexicon URL” has to correspond to the “link address” of the newly created shop page to establish a connection. After changing the lexicon URL the Shopware cache needs to be cleared.
Lexicon prefix: Here you can define an invariable, prefixed text for each lexicon entry. For example: “What if ...” or “Here all basic facts relating to ...”. The name of the entry of each lexicon entry will be prefixed by the defined text.
Search entries per page: Here you can determine the maximum number of entries that should be displayed per page in search results.
Just with one checkmark you can activate automatic links: On the basis of the vocabulary of the pages links to categories, articles and lexicon entries are automatically set via tooltip.
Lexicon entries ("add entry")
- You can create a new lexicon entry via “add entry”.
- As standard each new entry is inactive. To be displayed in the shop every entry must be activated by selecting the checkmark “active”.
- It’s important to fill in all fields which are marked with "*" (name and content). Only then the entry can be saved.
- Only when an entry is successfully saved, you can add, edit or remove further entries.
- If the field “URL” is left blank, the URL gets generated from the entry name. Thereby blank spaces will be replaced by hyphens, umlauts transcripted, unallowed characters (e.g.: ?, !, “) deleted and duplicated hyphens (two or more) replaced by a single one.
- You can add articles/products via “add product” and add them with a click.
- The added articles will be displayed in the field “add product” and be sorted in the order in which they appear in the entry. You can change their positions via drag and drop by shifting with the mouse or remove articles from the entry via the “Delete” button.
- If SEO fields (title and description) are left blank, a SEO field will be automatically generated consisting of the title (name) or description or rather the content of the entry.
All with * provided fields are obligatory.
Caution multilingualism
The URL of the lexicon is untranslateable. Therefore the URL should be consistently chosen, for example “glossary” or “faq”.
In the created shop page (content -> shop page) of the translation the language abbreviation in the field “link address” needs to be prefixed. For example: “en/glossary” (English), when the field “link address" is named “glossary” in the standard language.
The URLs of each lexicon entry can’t be translated and are named equally in every language.
