2.4. CMS Page Grouping
- Adnan Krzavic
The CMS Page Grouping feature does allow redirecting to another CMS page with the same page group identifier (“Page Group ID”) when switching store views. This is especially useful in case the user switches the language (store view) using the language switcher on the storefront.
On the below screenshots’ example there are two CMS pages for the imprint section:
Page ID 10002 (page title “Impressum”) for the German store view
Page ID 10003 (page title “Imprint”) for the English store view
Both CMS pages use the same PAGE GROUP ID (“imprint”) as can be seen on the CMS page overview grid on Figure 56. Now in case the user is located on the “Impressum” CMS page (Page ID 10002) and chooses to switch to the English store view (see Figure 57) he will be automatically redirected to the “Imprint” CMS page (Page ID 10003) due to being in the same CMS Page Group (“imprint”).
CMS Page Group IDs can be set by two methods.
Method 1: CMS Page Configuration
Access the CMS Page overview grid in CONTENT / ELEMENTS / PAGES. Now navigate to the CMS Page to add the CMS Page Group ID and click “EDIT” in the “ACTION” column. Now expand the SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION area. You can put in the desired PAGE GROUP ID identifier (unique) in the corresponding input field (see Figure 55). In order to save the changes click “SAVE PAGE” on top of the CMS Page configuration view.
Method 2: CMS Page overview grid quick edit
Access the CMS Page overview grid in CONTENT / ELEMENTS / PAGES. Now navigate to the CMS Page to add the CMS Page Group ID and click inside the area of the CMS Pages’ row. By doing so you enabled the quick edit mode of the given CMS page. Now you can enter the desired PAGE GROUP ID in the input field.17 When the input has been entered click SAVE underneath the quick edit bar to save the changes.
17 In case there is no such column „PAGE GROUP ID“ you need to firstly enable it for the CMS Page overview grid in „COLUMNS“ by ticking the checkbox PAGE GROUP ID.
