Creating and maintaining custom pages

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.

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

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.
