Stack Framework for Magento 2.

User Guide.

Version 1.9.1 - October 16, 2019

FRAMEWORK FILES.

The framework includes the following files:

  • Framework and included extensions files
  • Documentation
  • Licensing
  • Framework Installation GUI

Highly Modular Architecture.

Stack Framework contains a core module that needs to be installed at all times as it includes compatibility adjustments between framework modules. Framework files are located under below folder structure, and you can have either the Essential version or the Professional version, but not both versions at the same time:

  • app/code/WeltPixel/Backend
  • app/code/WeltPixel/FrameworkEssential
  • app/code/WeltPixel/FrameworkPro


The framework comes with modular architecture, and includes below extensions that are compatible all together as well as individually. Based on your project requirements you can choose to disable some of the extensions and only use what is required in your current project. With the out of the box modules compatibility Stack Framework is saving you time that you can dedicate building your store instead of debugging compatibility issues. Extension Files are located under below folder structure, you can choose the extensions you need, and deactivate the ones you don't need - this way you code will be light, fast and more conflict free.

PREREQUISITES.

Magento Compatibility.

Before installing Stack Framework on a Magento Store please check the compatibility. Stack Framework is currently compatible with the following Magento Open Source, Commerce & Commerce Cloud, B2B versions:

  • 2.0 - 2.0.x
  • 2.1 - 2.1.17
  • 2.2 - 2.2.10
  • 2.3.0 - 2.3.3

It is highly recommended to install the framework first on a testing server before you install it on a live (production) server.

Note: Make sure to enable Magento Developer Mode before installation - this guide can help: How to set Magento 2 Developer and Production Mode

Magento Commerce Cloud Compatibility.

Stack Framework for Magento 2 and all included extensions are compatible with Magento Commerce Cloud Edition or other read-only environmnets. More details under Magento Commerce Cloud Installation chapter.

Browser Compatibility.

Stack Framework for Magento 2 is compatible with most used modern browsers since Jan 1st, 2015 until today. We constantly check browsers compatibility with each release. Older browser versions, or other browsers not mentioned might also be compatible with the included extension.

  • Safari: starting with version 7
  • Opera: starting with version 23
  • IE: starting with version 11

3rd party Extensions Compatibility.

Note 1: It is highly recommended check for extensions installed on your store that offer the same functionality as the ones included in the framework. Extensions included in the framework are designed and tested to work well together, if you have to choose between the same extension from weltpixel or a different vendor, for best performance and compatibility we recommend to go with the Stack Framework bundle.

Note 2: It is recommended to disable other 3rd party extensions before installing the Stack Framework and enable the ones that you still need after the installation, one by one. This way in case of any compatibility issue, you can easily identify and isolate the problem imediatly, by disabling one of the 2 extensions conflicting.

Step 3.

Woohoo! Stack Framework is installed and your store should be already looking awesome!

Magento Commerce Cloud Installation.

Step 1.

1. Copy 'app folder from Framework Files (Magento Commerce) folder in the root of your magento installation.

Step 2.

Stack Framework code is now ready to be committed to Github and deployed on your Cloud environment. Commit the code to your Commerce Cloud repository. The environment should automatically deploy the code to the magento installation coresponding to the git repository where the code was comitted.

Step 3.

Woohoo! Stack Framework is installed and your store should be already looking awesome!

Upgrade the framework.

! Important : Before any upgrade it is recommended to backup of your Code and Database.

How to update Stack Framework to latest version.

We are constantly releasing product updates containing fixes, new features and compatibility adjustments with latest Magento releases. You can check Stack Framework - Change Log for more details.

Upgrade all extensions at once not selectively.

Make sure to upgrade all included extensions to the latest version, as often when compatibility adjustments are implemented it is necessary to make changes in more than one extension to fix a reported problem. The extensions should be treated as a package and updated at the same version all the time in order to avoid compatibility issues.

Step 1.

Go to your account on www.weltpixel.com and download the latest Stack Framework Pack from Downlodable Products section of your account.

Step 2.

Disable Magento Cache from System -> Cache Management -> Select All and hit disable and refresh all caches. Note: This step is required even if cache is disabled.

During framework upgrade process, existing sample pages, blocks, sliders will not be overwritten but only add new sample elements included in the latest release.

Step 3.

Replace Stack Framework files with the new ones you just downloaded. It's important to replace the files and not overwrite them. Some parts of the framework may be refactored and some of the files are not needed anymore and could generate errors.

! Note on framework files: Make sure to use framework files corresponding to your Magento version. Because of significant Magento core code changes in M2.3, we are using separate code for Magento 2.0 - 2.2.x / Magento 2.3.x in order to provide best code performance.

What files to remove before the upgrade: '/html/app/code/WeltPixel/*' and '/html/app/code/WeSupply/*'

Step 4.

Unpack and upload the content from the 'Framework Files' directory into the root of your Magento installation. Make sure you use the directory specific to your Magento version, as there are two sets of files: one for Magento 2.0.x - 2.2.x and one for Magento 2.3.x. This is very important, as the files are different and using the wrong set can lead to installation and functionality issues.

Step 5.

In your browser go to www.yourmagentostore.com/stack-framework-installation/ and simply follow the installation steps from the graphical interface, presented in your browser URL.

Step 6.

Woohoo! You updated Stack Framework to latest version!




TRANSLATE MODULES.

You can translate a WeltPixel module that is part of the Stack Framework by following next steps:

  • 1. Go to app/code/WeltPixel/ModuleYouWantToTranslate/i18n where you should find en_US.csv.
  • 2. Copy the content of this file in a new .csv file using magento locale format ( Example: fr_FR.csv, it_IT.csv). The file name must exactly match the locale, and it is case sensitive xx_YY.csv.
  • 3. Using a simple editor translate only the second column and the text between “ ”. Make sure all the strings in your .csv file start and end with double quotes, and are separated with comma [,], not semi-colon [;] or any other mark. Example: "Custom Footer","Benutzerdefinierte Fußzeile"
  • 4.a. For frontend translations make sure you have set your locale in Stores -> Configuration -> General -> Locale Options -> Locale -> Select your language
  • 4.b. For backend translations make sure you have set your users Interface Locale in Account Settings -> Account Information -> Interface Locale -> Select your language
  • 5. Refresh all Magento caches and check results

    Step 5.

    • After filling Accout ID, Container ID and Universal Analytics Tracking ID, hit Sign in to Google and allow to link your Google Tag Manager (GTM) account with your Magento Store

    You will be notified to save your credentials in order not to lose them before continuing with the process.

    Hit Save Config button.

    Step 6.

    • ! NOTE: If the container is not published/submitted in your GTM account, no tracking will be available. Make sure to publish your container.
    • !! NOTE 2: Displaying statistics in your Google Analytics account based on tracked data could take from 30 minutes from 48 hours according to GTM Documentation. However, real time data shoud be visible right away if your account is correctly setup.

    Step 8.

    • In your Google Analytics account, go to Admin > Ecommerce Settings in order to define the labels for checkout-funnel steps.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Checkout Steps E-Commerce setup.

    Step 9.

    In order to activate your conversion sections of your Google Analytics dashboard you have to:

    • a. Enable Ecommerce

    • b. Enable Enhanced Ecommerce Reporting

    • c. Add Checkout Labeling (Funnel Steps). Each store can have different checkout steps, so make sure to identify your checkout steps using GTM debugger (GTM container preview) before adding them here in order to avoid wrong tracking. Here is a common Magento checkout funnel example:

      • Shipping
      • Shipping Method
      • Payment and Billing

    • d. Save Ecommerce set-up.

    More details about Checkout funnels here: How to setup Enhanced Ecommerce reports (Google Documentation)

    How can I identify how many steps my store has?

    Step 10.

    • Go to your GTM dashboard and enable preview mode
    weltpixel
    weltpixel
    • Go to your store and with the preview mode enabled proceed to checkout. (Make sure you have at least one product in the shopping cart!)
    • If the GTM container is in preview mode, you should already see the GTM tag debugger when loading your checkout page. (Make sure you are using the same browser for enabling preview mode and the debugging of your checkout steps.)
    • You will find that under Checkout - Data layer, each step that has loaded can be seen as in our example.
    • Step 1 (Shipping Address).

      • Great news! We've identified the first step (Shipping Address) of the checkout process presented in this example! We'll need to remember it, as in the sections below, we'll be shown how to add this step to the Google Analytics checkout funnel.

      Note: Each checkout process is different, so for your store, you may have a different option here.

    • Complete each required field with your customer information and proceed to the next step.

    • Next, we'll need to head to the following step of the checkout process, which, in our case is the Shipping Methods section, make sure you select an option and click the Next button.


    weltpixel
    weltpixel
    • In the preview window you will see two new events fired, a new checkout event for step 2 as well as the option associated with this step.
    • As you can see in the photo on the left, we've identified -> Step 2 (Shipping Methods) of our example. Just make a note of it, as it will have to be added to the Google Analytics checkout funnel as well.


      • Note: Each checkout process is different, so for your store, you may have a different option here.

    • Since Step 2 has multiple shipping methods, in our example, in the Checkout Option section of the GTM debugger, you can find out more specific details about the selected shipping option.


      • Note: This is informative, and you'd only need to access this if you wanted additional details about this checkout step.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel
    • In our checkout funnel the next step is to select Payment Method. We select the payment method and click on the Place Order button.
    • By pushing the Place Order button we are redirected to the checkout success page and we've successfully identified this step as well as being Step 3 (Payment Method) by following the same process explained in the sections above.

    Configure Google Analytics checkout behavior.

    Step 11.

    • Go to Admin -> Ecommerce Settings, as shown in the photo on the right.
    • Each checkout table has a number on the left hand side, that number needs to match with the checkout step identified above. Under Label Name, simply type in the name of each step of your own checkout process identified in the previous section. It's important that they match exactly, as otherwise, the checkout drop-off behavior that shows in the GA account would not be relevant to your store.
    • After a few days of data collection you will be able to visualize the checkout funnel in your report under Conversions -> Ecommerce -> Checkout Behavior. According to Google, it may take up to 48 hours for data to start flowing in.
    • Please note that reporting will be only available from the moment your setup the checkout behavior steps. It will not provide data for days prior to setup.
    weltpixel

    Step 12.

    • Woohoo, the extension is configured!

      Note: Your GA and GTM account are now configured with our pre-generated settings and ready to receive valuable information from your Magento 2 store! You can now gather valuable data and take data driven decisions! Congrats!
      Note 2: If you would like to receive even more personalized tracking data, you can always extend your GTM and GA default configurations from your account. If you would like our Google Certified Specialists to help you with that please contact our support for a quote.

    General Configuration.

    • Google Tag Manager Javascript Code Position [ In the head tag / Before body close tag ] - choose position where Javascript code to be inserted. Default: In the head tag.
    • Impression Chunks Size - allows you to break up the payload into smaller chunks. We recommend limiting it to 15. The analytics.js library refuses to send a hit if the full payload size is larger than 8192 bytes. This does require quite a lot of data to be stuffed within, but it only takes some dozens of product impressions to clog up the channel
    • Product identifier [ SKU / ID ] - you can identify products in GA and GTM either by SKU or by product ID from your Magento catalog
    • Enable Brand - if you would like to have each product brand tracked in Google Analytics Ecommerce Reports - select yes and use appropriate brand attribute
    • Order Success Page Total Calculation [ Subtotal / Grandtotal ] - Calculates total amount on success page based on Subtotal or Grandtotal
    • Measure Product Clicks - This option allows ‘Product Click’ tracking on Category Page , Search results page and Related/Cross-sell/Up-sell product grids. If Product Click Tracking is enabled this option rewrites Magento_Catalog::product/list.phtml and Magento_Catalog::product/list/list.phtml. If you are using a custom theme/extension already re-writing this templates check here how you can make the necessary compatibility adjustments: How to solve GTM compatibility issues

                    data-track-promo-creative="PROMOCREATIVE"
                    data-track-promo-position="PROMOPOSITION">Content
                 </a>
    • Exclude Tax From Transaction [ Yes / No ] - Exclude taxes amount from transaction
    • Exclude Shipping From Transaction [ Yes / No ] - Exclude shipping amount from transaction

    • Container ID - Must be set as seen in Step 4 from Configure section
    • Universal Analytics Tracking ID - Must be set as seen in Step 4 from Configure section
    • I.P Anonymization [ Yes / No ] - Allows website owners to request that all of their users' IP addresses are anonymized. It help website owners comply with their own privacy policies or, in some countries, recommendations from local data protection authorities, which may prevent the storage of full IP address information.

    Linking your GA with AdWords Account.

    • Linking your Google Ads account to your Analytics property lets you see the full customer cycle, from how they interact with your marketing (e.g., seeing ad impressions, clicking ads) to how they finally complete the goals you’ve set for them on your site (e.g., making purchases, consuming content).
    • When you link Google Ads and Analytics, you can see ad and site performance data in the Google Ads reports in Analytics.
    • When linking GA with AdWords you can select if you want Manual or automatic tagging.
    • Please refer to this article for more information https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1733663?hl=en&utm_id=ad

    Step 1.

    • Go to GA Admin

    Step 2.

    • Under the Product Linking column, click on Google Ads Linking.
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 3.

    • Once configured, click on Link accounts.
    • Presto! Google Analytics is now linked to AdWords!

    Setup Custom Dimensions & Metrics.

    Step 1.

    • Google Analytics allows for tracking custom Dimensions as well as custom Metrics.
    • Our extension enables you to track multiple custom dimensions specific to each custom dimension scope.
    • In GA you will need to setup custom dimensions to enable tracking.
    • Go to: GA Admin
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 2.

    • Under the Property column, click on Custom Definitions and then Custom Dimensions

    Step 3.

    If you are just starting out we highly recommend creating everything as described. In Magento Admin Panel we are pre-populating each custom dimension with sample indexes for your help. Please make sure that the Custom Dimension scopes and Indexes in Magento match with the ones created in GA. In a fresh GA account, the index number will start from 1 and as you create them will increase sequentially. An example can be seen in the screenshot in Step 6.

    • Click on the +New Custom Dimension button.
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 4.

    • Insert Custom Dimension Name.
    • Select the Custom Dimension Scope.
    • Make sure the Active box is checked.
    • Click on the Create button.

    Step 5.

    • Click on the Done button to complete the creation of your Custom Dimension.
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 6. Success!

    • This is an example. If you are an advanced GA user, go ahead and set each dimension up as you wish. Just make sure they match with what you have in Magento.
    • The index number can be found here (if created for the first time, this will be in a sequential order):
    • As soon as the Custom Dimensions are setup in GA and they are verified to match with Magento, hit the Create tags button in your Magento Admin. This will automatically assign each custom dimension to the appropriate tag in GTM.
    • If you've already created the tag, the GTM PRO version of our module will automatically update each tag as soon as you sync the Magento tags with GTM.
    weltpixel

    Troubleshooting.

    Preview and debug GTM tags

    • Use GTM Preview functionality
      There are many ways to troubleshoot your GTM setup. However we found that using the GTM preview mode you can quickly and easily troubleshoot your GTM setup regardless of your expertise level. Go to your GTM account and in the top right corner you will see the Preview Button
    • As soon as you enable the Preview Mode go to your website and refresh the page. You will see all the Tags that got fired.
    weltpixel
    weltpixel
    • Deploy your change
      After your setup all your tags make sure that you publish all your changes. Go to GTM account and in the Top Right corner your will find the Submit button. Make sure that those tags are fully published in order to be able to track everything.

    RICH SNIPPETS & CARDS (SCHEMA.ORG) PRO

    About RICH SNIPPETS & CARDS.

    Boost online store SEO, improve usability and attract more customers by adding Rich Snippets for Google Search, Facebook Open Graph, Twitter Cards and Pinterest Rich Pins.

    Rich Snippets

    When you use structured data to mark up content, you help Google better understand its context for display in Search, and you achieve better distribution of your content to users from Search.

    Rich Snippets enable users to quickly identify specifics about your products and website. Increases real-estate on the Search Result page and increases Click-Thru-Rate (CTR).


    Google will discover the structured data as soon as it crawls your site (although it may take some time for the the Rich Snippets to appear in search results). When Google algorithms discover technically correct markup on a page, Google uses a variety of signals to determine when to show Rich Snippets on the search result page.

    Twitter Cards

    The Product Card is a great way to represent product and retail items on Twitter. This Card type is designed to showcase your products via image, description, price, and highlight site and tweet creator.


    With Twitter Cards, you can attach rich photos, videos and media experience to Tweets that drive traffic to your website. By using this extension, users who Tweet links to your content will have a “Card” added to the Tweet that’s visible to all of their followers.

    Facebook Open Graph

    The Facebook Open Graph protocol enables products sold on your store to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to allow your store product pages to be highlighted in Facebook feeds.


    Pinterest Rich Pins

    Rich Pins are Pins that include extra information right on the Pin itself. Rich Pins show metadata right on the Pin itself, giving Pinners a richer experience and increasing engagement. Information in a Rich Pin is independent of the Pin description, ensuring that important information is always tied to the Pin. There are 6 types of Rich Pins: app, article, movie, place, product and recipe Pins.


    Rich Pins work by displaying metadata from marked up pages on your website. Once you've applied for Rich Pins, any content on your site with metadata will turn into a Rich Pin when a user saves it.

    How to Configure.

    Step 1: Create your sitemap

    Go to Marketing -> SEO & Search -> Site Map and add your sitemap by clicking on "Add Sitemap" button

    • Select the name for your sitemap, example: sitemap.xml
    • Select the path for your sitemap, example: "/sitemap/" or "/" for base path (path must be writeable)
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 2: Configure your sitemap

    Go to Stores -> Configuration -> Catalog -> XML Sitemap and configure default settings for your sitemap.

    • a. Select Frequency and Priority for each type of page in your store: Category Pages, Product Pages, CMS Pages.
    Frequency

    How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines and may not correlate exactly to how often they crawl the page. Valid values are:

    • always / hourly / daily / weekly / monthly / yearly / never

    The value "always" should be used to describe documents that change each time they are accessed. The value "never" should be used to describe archived URLs.

    Please note that the value of this tag is considered a hint and not a command. Even though search engine crawlers may consider this information when making decisions, they may crawl pages marked "hourly" less frequently than that, and they may crawl pages marked "yearly" more frequently than that. Crawlers may periodically crawl pages marked "never" so that they can handle unexpected changes to those pages.

    Priority

    The priority of the URL relative to other URLs on your site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0. This value does not affect how your pages are compared to pages on other sites—it only lets the search engines know which pages you deem most important for the crawlers. The default priority of a page is 0.5.

    Please note that the priority you assign to a page is not likely to influence the position of your URLs in a search engine's result pages.

    Search engines may use this information when selecting between URLs on the same site, so you can use this tag to increase the likelihood that your most important pages are present in a search index.

    Also, please note that assigning a high priority to all of the URLs on your site is not likely to help you. Since the priority is relative, it is only used to select between URLs on your site.

    • b. Configuring sitemap generation settings
      • Enable - [ Yes / No ] - this option enable sitemap generation. Make sure cronjobs are setup on your server in order for this automated task to be triggered.
      • Start time - set the time when sitemap generation should start
      • Frequency - set how often you want your sitemap to be updated
      • Error email recepient - configure an email where you should receive potential error reports
      • Error email sender - configure store default sender of the email
      • Error email template - configure store default template for the email
      • Maximum No of URLs per file - set the maximum number of URLs in sitemap.
      • Maximum file size - set sitemap file size in bytes
      • Enable submission to Robots.txt - [ Yes / No ] - if enabled sitemap will be included in robots.txt file of your store, facilitating search engines to faster discover it.

    Step 3: Customize your sitemap and make it your own using GOOGLE XML SITEMAP for Magento 2

    • a. Exclude from sitemap particular CMS Pages you do not want indexed in search engines
      • Go to Content -> Pages -> Edit Page -> WeltPixel Options -> Exclude from Sitemap -> Yes

        This option is useful when you want to exclude certain CMS Pages from sitemap. Ex: ‘404 Not Found Page’ makes no sense to be indexed by google, you do not want your customers there.

    • b. Exclude from sitemap particular Product Pages you do not want indexed in search engines
      • Go to Products -> Catalog -> Edit Product -> WeltPixel Options -> Exclude from Sitemap -> Yes

        This option is useful when you want to exclude certain Product Pages from sitemap. Ex: maybe you have a lookbook where your products can be purchased using a quick view functionality and you don’t want to sell the products individually on separate product pages, in this case you can exclude that particular product pages from sitemap indexation.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel
    • c. Exclude from sitemap particular Category Pages you do not want indexed in search engines
      • Go to Products -> Categories -> Select Category -> WeltPixel Options -> Exclude from Sitemap -> Yes

        This option is useful when you want to exclude certain Category Pages from sitemap. Ex: You may want to include in sitemap only level 2 categories and exclude level 1 categories in order for clients to land on a more segmented category.

    • d. Add custom URL to sitemap

      By default magneto doesn’t add to sitemap custom url that may be still relevant to your business, for example a html page presenting your product. Ex: Weltpixel Cleo Theme is presenation of one of our products but is not included in default Magento sitemap.

      By using Google XML custom sitemap URL functionality we’ll be able to add also this link to our dynamically generated sitemap.


      Go to WeltPixel -> Sitemap -> Add New Url

      • URL - Insert link without base url, ex: /cleo and the link in your sitemap will be www.yourbaseurl.com/cleo
      • Updated at - set the time and date when this page was last updated
      • Store View - Select in what store view to insert this custom URL in sitemap
      • Change Frequency - How frequently the page is likely to change. This value provides general information to search engines
      • Priority - The priority of the URL relative to other URLs on your site. Valid values range from 0.0 to 1.0
      • Woohoo, the sitemap is configured!

    SMART PRODUCT TABS FOR MAGENTO 2.

    About SMART PRODUCT TABS FOR MAGENTO 2.

    Deliver excellent browsing experience for your customers by dynamically showing custom blocks (new tabs on product page) based on product attribute options.

    This extension for Magento 2 gives you custom control over your product page tabs and their dynamic content. You can configure product tabs to display custom content based on product attribute value using specific static blocks, without the need to touch any code.

    Default Magento doesn't give you proper control over your product tabs and corresponding content, making product page content customisation extremely limited. Smart Product Tabs allows you to show new tabs, based on the value of dropdown attributes. You can create Smart Tabs directly from Magento admin and when visibility conditions are met, the tabs containing the specific block will be displayed in frontend as a new tab on product page.

    This will help to dynamically show specific product information only for certain products, based on material, size-chart, country of manufacture, man/woman, price, promotion, product features etc... Applicability of this functionality is wide, can be adapted to any business model in order to increase store usability.

    Features of the Extension.

    • Display relevant content - display relevant content to customer based on product type and attribute values
    • Increase conversions - use rich relevant descriptions and improve conversions
    • Reduce return rate - help buyers find the best product for them using specific relevant information
    • Reduce bounce rate - describe the product better and reduce bounce rate
    • Rich product description - use smart static blocks to create rich descriptions for your products
    • Save page space - use the smart tabs and save page space
    • Increase store usability - help users engage with your store
    • Easy to use - no coding needed

    HOW TO USE THE EXTENSION

    STEP 1

    • Smart Product Tabs works only with "Dropdown" product attributes.

      You can use one of your already created attributes (dropdown), or you can create a new dropdown attribute in Admin > Stores > Attributes > Products.

      ! Important: Please note that configuration in next steps depend on the attribute code which is CASE SENSITIVE. You will need the attribute code to configure the smart block name. Using the wrong attribute code (typo, capital letter instead of small leter, etc) will result in tabs not showing in your product page.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    STEP 2

    • If you created a new dropdown attribute, you'll have to assign it to the product attribute set used by the product before this attribute will be visible in product details.
    • To assign the new attribute to a product Attribute Set go to Admin > Stores > Attribute Set menu and add the new attribute to your Attribute Set
    • Later, at step 6 you'll may need to assign the Attribute Set to the product where you want to use Smart Tabs if not assigned already.

    STEP 3

    • The new created Attribute can be found in Unassigned Attributes.

    • To assign the attribute just drag and drop it in Attribute Set Groups.

      • ! The attribute will be available only for products using this attribute set. If necessary you can add the attribute to multiple attribute sets.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    STEP 4

    • Go to Admin > WeltPixel > Smart Products tab menu, activate the extension and set your smart tabs.

    • You can insert up to 3 new tabs to be displayed in the product page based on dropdown attribute configuration. From this settings you can define the smart tab name (visible in product page) and the attribute that controls delivery of relevant content for each particular smart tab.

    • From this settings you can define the smart tab name (visible in product page) and the attribute that controls delivery of relevant content for each particular smart tab.

    STEP 5

    • Go to Admin > Content > Blocks and create blocks for each option of the attributes. Block identifier name must have the following syntax:

      smartproducttabs_attributecode_option

      • - Keep smartproducttabs_ prefix unchanged.

      - Replace attributecode with your attribute code.

      - Replace option with option of the attribute.

      - If an option has words separated by spaces, replace the spaces with - (minus) sign.



    • Example 1, where attribute code is 'color' and attribute option is 'blue', smart block name will be: 'smartproducttabs_color_blue'

    • Example 2, where attribute code is 'material' and attribute option is 'cotton', smart block name will be: 'smartproducttabs_material_cotton'

    • Example 3, where attribute code is 'manufacturer' and attribute option is 'United States', smart block name will be: 'smartproducttabs_manufacturer_United-States'



      • ! Troubleshooting Smart Tabs not showing in product page:

      #1 Using wrong prefix smartproducttab_ instead of smartproducttabs_ will lead to tab not showing in product page. Please check if you are using the correct prefix.

      #2 Attribute code and option are CASE SENSITIVE. Double check for typo, capital letter instead of small leter, etc.

      #3 Make sure you selected an attribute option for the product you are checking smart tab functionality.

      #4 Do not insert underscore between the prefix, the attribute and the attribute option.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 6

    • Go to Admin > Catalog > Products > Edit Product and set the attribute option for each product. The corresponding block created at Step 3 will show up on product page.

    • If no attribute option is selected, smart block will not show for that specific product. Once an attribute option is selected, if there is a block created corresponding with selected attribute code and option (as described in Step 3) -> smart block will show up on product page.

    This widget comes with an extended list of options compared to other widgets: you can select the background color of widget container in order to fit your page from the Magento admin. You can also select the number of pictures you want to display per row and the maximum number of displayed pictures. Pictures can be sorted and ordered by a lot of criteria like most recent, most liked, most commented and so on. Picture resolution is available in 3 formats: Thumbnail, Low resolution and Standard Resolution. Pictures can be displayed by user. The multitude of options will allow you to customise the widget and its content to fit your business needs.

    Features of the Extension.

    How to add the Instagram feed to your Magento Store?

    Step 1.

    • To be able to use the Instagram Widget extension, you'll first need to set your Instagram username and authorize the widget to use your account.
    • The only thing you’ll need to get going is a valid client id from Instagram’s API. You can easily register for one on Instagram’s website.
    • Go to the Instagram Developer page. Login to your account or create one, and then click on Manage Clients, and finally on Register a New Client.
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 2.

    • Fill out the Application Name, Description, and Website (which should be your website). Fill out http://localhost in the field Valid redirect URIs and press enter to confirm that field.

    Note! The Instagram Developer page has issues loading the Google Captcha Script. Refer to this Stack Overflow article for a workaround.

    Step 3.

    • In the Security tab, make sure that the Disable Implicit OAuth or Enforce signed requests options are unchecked.
    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Step 4.

    • Now you should see a success message as seen in the image on the left. Next, you'll need to grab the CLIENT ID.

    STEP 5.

    • Paste the following url into your web browser's search bar and access it.

      https://instagram.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=[CLIENT_ID_HERE]&redirect_uri=http://localhost&response_type=token&scope=public_content

      Add the CLIENT ID that was generated for you to the URL, replacing [CLIENT_ID_HERE] and hit enter. You will then connect to Instagram’s servers.

      Instagram will ask you whether or not you want to grant the client you registered in Step 2 access to your account.

      Once your client has been granted access to your account, Instagram will redirect your browser to your localhost and your newly generated access token will be appended to the url after localhost/#access_token=. Treat your Instagram access token like you would your password.

      Do not share your access token with anyone.

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    STEP 6.

    • This is the last page you will see after authorizing access. Now, copy the code you see after localhost/#access_token=”yourcode” . You will need this code at step 7 and when configuring the Instagram Widget connection data.

    STEP 7.

    • Find your user ID:

      Your user ID is the number listed before the first period within the access token received at Step 6 (the user ID is 1127918776 in this example).

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    STEP 8.

    Step 4 - Mobile Menu Breakpoint

    • Go to WeltPixel > Mega Menu Settings > General Settings
    • Mobile Menu Breakpoint - Insert the breakpoint when navigation menu changes to mobile look and behavior (value in pixels). Ex. 1050.

      • Note on applicability:

      Case 1: You may need the mobile menu to kick in at a higher resolution than default magento 768px. There are mobile devices and small laptops with resolution between 800-1200px where your desktop menu may look crowded on small devices. By setting a higher breakpoint for mobile menu you will be able cover this cases elegantly.

      Case 2: Some website designs use mobile menu for both mobile and desktop. You will be able to achieve this easily by setting a breakpoint that will never be reached by your users ex 8000[px], so mobile menu will show permanently.

    Ajax Catalog and Infinite Scroll for Magento 2.

    About Ajax Catalog.

    Why is this important, how does it help?

    Help your customers to explore more content and reduce website friction with ajax infinite scroll and ajax pagination.

    When building your store, one of your most important task is to build a website that has the least amount of friction. Less friction = better user experience results in higher conversion rate, generating higher revenue and increased customer lifetime value. Category pages and search result pages are the most visited sections of your ecommerce store. Helping your customers to explore more content will result in longer browsing experiences which can help your customers find exactly what they are looking for.

    You have the option to go with two major browsing behaviours, infinite scrolling (load more) and pagination. Each UX behaviour has its benefits and we often recommend testing what works best for your customers.

    Infinite scroll is commonly used by social media websites such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Your customers were educated to scroll down by the Social Media giants. You will often find that this user experience is best on mobile devices, which often reaches even 70% to 80% of the total traffic (highly influenced by your industry). Other benefits of using Infinite scroll is that new products will load dynamically without the need of refreshing the entire page, your customers can simply scroll up to view and compare previous products.

    Pagination is also very commonly used around ecommerce websites such Amazon.com, REI.com. Pagination helps divide content into multiple pages. To reduce friction, we are now loading the next page using the Ajax technology by removing completely the need to reload the entire page. When the users reaches the bottom of the page and click to go from page #1 to page #5 we dynamically load page #5 content without a refresh of a page and automatically scroll the user to the top of the page. Pagination is also helpful in providing the customer an initial best selection of products, you can curate best 50 products from a category that you can promote first on the first page, this will give you a better sense of control of what you display first and stop the initial presentation.

    Ajax Infinite Scroll and Catalog doesn’t simply stop at giving you the option to implement Infinite Scroll or to have an Improved user experience with less friction on pagination. We are also giving you the option of both worlds. Now you have the option to start with Infinite Scroll but only load automatically the first few pages (you can define how many) and then display the load more button. The benefits are that you can now display less products on the initial load, which helps you with page speed, then automatically load page two or three of best products. Your customers will not get annoyed by never reaching the bottom of your page and you have better control of displaying the best of the best of each category first. It’s basically a Win! Win! Win! Solution.

    When implementing this solution we focused heavily on improving SEO as well. The solution closely follows Google’s Infinite Scroll implementation by generating rel=next and rel=prev at the correct page in conjunction with the canonical tag.

    Features of the Extension.

    • Ajax Infinite Scroll - infinite product load while scrolling down
    • Ajax Next Page - loading next page without reloading entire page
    • Reduce website friction, improve user experience and conversion rate
    • Helps users explore more content
    • Control the number of the pages that autoload automatically
    • "Show More" button available after a speficied number autoloaded pages
    • Customizable notification messages
    • Possibility to disable for search result pages
    • SEO Optimized functionality
    • Speed improvements
    • Clean open source code
    • Easy installation

    • Enable Ajax Catalog and set this option to [ Yes ].
    • Ajax Catalog Mode select Ajax Infinite Scroll

    Functionality control for Category, Search and Advanced Search Page. When your store is integrated with external search solutions you may need to disable ajax for search pages in order to achieve default magento behaviour and therefore achieve full compatibility with other solutions.

    • Use Ajax Catalog on Search Page and set this option to [ Yes ]

    weltpixel
    weltpixel

    Advanced Settings:

    • "Loading More Items" Text - Define the text that will display after the Load More button is clicked/tapped while the new content is loading
    • Show "Load more" button - In Magento you already predefined how many products to display on the category page. Let’s consider you set it to 25. This option defines after how many pages to display the load more button. Ex. 2 pages will load 2X25 products = 50 then it will display the Load More button. This option creates the balance by keeping your category pages light on initial load, having the ability to reach the footer easily and gives you the opportunity to have control over what is the most important on the page. By setting the value to 0, the Load more button will never display and it will automatically load new products until all the products from the category gets displayed.
    • "Load More" button text - The text that will display on the button “Load More” / “Show More”
    • No More Items Text - The text that will display as soon as all products from the category get loaded
    • Start Loading Early - To Make the scrolling experience even smoother, you have now the option to pre-load products when the customers are approaching the end of the list with new products. Setting this value to Yes will prevent when there is a normal browsing experience the customer from waiting on the next page to load. This option will only work for the first few pages defined in STEP 3 or for all if set to 0
    • Negative Margin - Load new items earlier considering the pixels offset configured. More items will start loading when you have less than specified pixels until the bottom of the page. Ex. 250. This option is only valid if Loading Early is set to Yes
    • Enable canonical and prev/next link elements - We followed closely how Google is recommending the implementation of the rel=next, rel=prev and canonical tag.

    How to use Ajax Next Page.

    General Settings:

    Go to WeltPixel > Ajax Catalog & Infinite Scroll > General Configuration
