Variables & templates

Variables

In all fields of the bulk generators you can use variables. When generating, they are replaced per product/category with the respective value. The syntax follows Twig:

{{ product.translated.name }}

Variables can be inserted conveniently via the "Possible variables" select next to each field.

Important product variables (article & image bulk)

Variable	Meaning
{{ product.translated.name }}	Product name (translated, with fallback) – recommended
{{ product.productNumber }}	Product number
{{ product_manufacturer.translated.name }}	Manufacturer name
{{ product.ean }}	EAN
{{ product.weight }} / {{ product.width }} / {{ product.height }} / {{ product.length }}	Dimensions/weight
{{ product.variation.0.group }}	Variant group (e.g. "Color")
{{ product.variation.0.option }}	Variant value (e.g. "Red")
{{ product.properties.0.name }}	Property value
{{ product.properties.0.group.name }}	Property name

Important category variables (category bulk)

Variable	Meaning
{{ category.translated.name }}	Category name (translated) – recommended
{{ category.name }}	Category name (raw)
{{ category.keywords }}	Keywords of the category

Recommendation: always use the translated variant (e.g. product.translated.name). It returns the translated value including a fallback to the default language. The raw field (product.name) can be empty if no translation is maintained for the current language.

Google preview

As soon as a category in the tree is clicked/ticked, the Google preview on the right shows how the result looks for a sample product of the category. Requirement: the respective field is filled with a template and activated.

Templates

Frequently used combinations can be saved as a template and loaded again later.

• Load template – dropdown above the fields; the saved values, options and categories are applied.

• Save template – updates the currently loaded template.

• Create template – creates a new template under the entered name.

When saving, the following is stored:

• the field contents (title/description/keywords or alt/title),

• the selected options (overwrite, subcategories, variants, counter, all languages),

• the selected categories,

• the cron job status (see Cron job / automation).

Predefined templates

The plugin ships ready-made templates with the prefix [SEO] whose name directly shows the structure, e.g.:

• [SEO] Artikel: Name

• [SEO] Artikel: Name | Hersteller

• [SEO] Artikel: Name (Artikelnr.)

• [SEO] Kategorie: Name

• [SEO] Bild: Produktname

• [SEO] Bild: Produktname + Hersteller

They appear in the respective bulk (filtered by type) in the "Load template" dropdown and can be used directly or as a starting point.
