JTL-Links

Thank you for using the English version of the JTL-Guide!
We are currently still building up the English documentation; not all sections have been translated yet. Please note that there may still be German screenshots or links to German pages even on pages that have already been translated. This guide mostly addresses English speaking users in Germany.

Note: On 1 September 2024, JTL introduced new editions that bundle most of the previous individual services into different packages. In order for you to continue working as smoothly as possible, existing customers were automatically switched to the package configuration that best matched their existing contract. The individual packages differ in terms of limitations and/or range of functions. Therefore, some of the features described in the JTL-Guide may not be available to you as part of your booked JTL edition. You can change your package configuration in your JTL customer account. Find out more about the new editions and packages here. Check our FAQ for frequently asked questions about the product editions.

Creating and maintaining custom pages

Your task/initial situation

You can create an unlimited number of custom pages yourself in JTL-Shop. These are accessible to your customers via a predetermined link group. Besides the pages that you create yourself, JTL-Shop also comes with many pages ready for use from the start. Those are, for example, the Terms and conditions, Legal notice, and Contact pages, to which you can add your own content.

Link groups and custom pages

The maintenance and sort order of custom pages is carried out in the menu item Link groups and custom pages.

Log in to the back end of JTL-Shop with your admin access data.
Go to View > Custom contents > Pages.

Settings for custom link groups and pages in JTL-Shop 5

Custom pages are sorted into so-called link groups. The following standard link groups are supplied with JTL-Shop:

Information (template name: Informationen): The Informations area usually contains legally irrelevant pages such as information about shipping and newsletters. This link group is normally displayed at the bottom of the page.
Header (template name: Kopf): This link group is normally empty. Pages moved to or created in this group are displayed in a link bar at the top of the page.
Legal information (template name: Fuss): This link group contains legally required information such as the terms and conditions and withdrawals. This link group is normally displayed at the bottom of the page.
Hidden (template name: hidden): This link group is not displayed on the page. It contains hidden pages that are only accessible via a direct link or not at accessible at all. You can move pages from the hidden group to other link groups at any time. Many plug-ins such as the JTL PayPal plug-in create custom pages in this link group. These special pages are normally configured correctly and should only be edited or moved if the plug-in developer says so in their instructions.
Mega menu (template name: megamenu): Pages in this link group are displayed in the mega menu in addition to the standard pages located there. For this, the option Pages of link group “mega menu” in the NOVA template settings must be set to Active. Please see: Editing templates.
