About the Extension

Who is this app for?

Do you want to highlight not only products but also categories - preferably throughout the entire shop? This app allows you to define a so-called "badge" for each category, which is displayed as a small colored element behind the respective category name. You have standard colors available (which you can customize in the standard theme). The badges are output SEO conform (no violation of structured data) behind the actual category names - and this in all menus: main navigation, footer navigation, page navigation (experience worlds) as well as off-canvas menu (mobile). The settings not only allow you to maintain this information dependent on language, but also to hide badges in certain menu areas if necessary.

Application examples

New categories/shop pages

You have added a new category to the shop and want to draw attention to it? Not necessarily easy in the standard version - but child's play with this extension! Simply define a badge (e.g. "NEW!") within the category, set the color (e.g. "information"), and save - that's it! Now a small (in the standard light blue) badge is displayed behind the category name in all menus. Your customers will certainly not overlook this category! By the way: The badges are also displayed in the first menu level of the main navigation!

Sale/Special Offer

A category with bargains, special items, B-stock ... should be able to attract attention - easily done with a badge! Give your reduced categories the necessary touch: set the badge title (e.g. "%", "SALE", "discount!" ...) and color "danger" (in standard red) - and your categories with reduced products are easy to recognize!

Free shipping

Is there a category with exclusively free shipping products? If so, a badge could draw attention to this!

Organic/Vegan/Vegetarian/Ecological/Sustainable

Most people associate something green with something ecological: set badges, color "success" (standard green), and make them visible in all menus: Here you can discover something sustainable!

Configuration per badge

Content

In this field, you define the text that should be displayed within the badge.

Color

Using this field, you can define the color the badge should have. All colors that Bootstrap (the frontend framework used by Shopware) and Shopware provide are available: primary color, secondary color, success, danger, warning, information, light, and dark.

Excluded display locations

By default, each badge is displayed in all menus: main navigation, footer navigation, page navigation (sidebar, experience world), as well as off-canvas (mobile). However, using this setting, you can specify areas in a multiple selection where the badges you have defined should not be displayed. This opens up very individual possibilities!

Note: All configurations/specifications are saved per language. This means that you can define completely different badges per language!

Import/Export

By storing all relevant data of the badges in additional fields, you can use all import/export options available in the shop. The shop's import/export is explained in more detail here: https://docs.shopware.com/en/shopware6-en/settings/importexport#object-type-categories

In the "translations" section, data can be imported into additional fields. The following additional fields are used by the app:

mill_category_menu_badge_text

Badge content

mill_category_menu_badge_color

Badge color, possible values (single): primary, secondary, danger, warning, information, success, light, dark

mill_category_menu_badge_excluded_locations

List of areas excluded from the display. Possible values (multiple): [main, footer, sidebar, offcanvas]

What colors are available?

All default colors available in Bootstrap's framework: Primary, Secondary, Success, Danger, Warning, Information, Light and Dark. The default theme allows customization of most colors. So the app will fit perfectly into your corporate design and usually the colors are automatically adjusted to your needs!

This extension is available twice in the store - what's the difference?

Shopware has two different systems for programming extensions: Plugins and apps. Plugins can only be used in "self-hosted" stores, apps in "self-hosted" as well in "cloud" stores. The plugin system is older and therefore all of our extensions are initially designed for this system. In order to support all Shopware environments (self-hosted and cloud), we subsequently design and transfer the extensions to the app system. As this differs technologically from the plugin system, the development of the extensions for both systems must be considered separately - for this reason, some extensions are available in two versions. Which version is right for you should be decided according to the installation environment and the future perspective/orientation of your shop. This extension is a "plugin" that supports "self-hosted" stores.

Different badges for each language?

Yes! The badge name as well as all other settings (color, display locations to be excluded) are language-dependent data fields. That means you can define these data fields per language separately. When maintaining data, simply pay attention to which language you have selected (in the upper right corner) before you actually set your data.

I don't want to show badges in every menu - possible?

Pretty simple: By default, the badges you maintain are displayed in all Shopware menus. This includes the main navigation (top), footer navigation (bottom), page navigation (the menu that can be embedded via the experience worlds) as well as the mobile offcanvas menu. However, if you have certain badges that you do not want to be displayed in all areas, you can define them as exclusion criteria per badge.

How is the data stored?

To be able to support future updates and extensions of the store, I prefer to use board tools (tools provided by Shopware) with my extensions. Accordingly, all data in this app is not stored in separate database tables, but in so-called "additional fields". This has a number of advantages - not only for me as a developer, but also for you as a customer: the data is provided to the storefront by default, all data can be managed multilingually, you can exchange all data via the importer/exporter and also via API, database customizations run smoothly and your theme can interact with everything without any problems: Win-Win!

Why do I need this app? I could also write HTML code directly in the category names!

You "could" - but I definitely don't recommend it for several reasons. First of all, adding code manually is not a good idea because this is usually error prone - one small mistake can cause your entire theme to not display correctly. Also, HTML code in the category name would mean that this code is output in all places! Meta Title, headlines, Breadcrumb, Structured Data ... the list could go on - all areas where HTML should not be. The app uses update-safe standard components of Bootstrap - plain and simple. The app gives you the easy way to add badges without programming experience.
