  • Publishing Rules: This is where you can select the pages where the structured data is going to be generated to.

To learn more details on how you can use these sections visit the How to Add Structured Data to Pages documentation page.

Publishing Rules

In case, you don't want to generate the Product Content Type to all pages, you can use the available Publishing Rules to target specific pages. The DJ Classifieds Integration implements the following publishing rules:

Name Description
Product Target specific DJ Classifieds Products only.
Category Target all Products assigned to specific DJ Classifieds categories.

To learn more about the Publishing Rules section visit the How to add Structured Data to Pages documentation page.

Remember, in case you don't enable any publishing rules, the structured data will be generated on all DJ Classifieds products.

Notes

The Structured Data is generated only in the Product Detail View where a single Product is displayed. The Category or List views are not currently supported.

How can I add ratings and reviews to the generated structured data?

DJ extension requires the DJ - Reviews extension in order to add ratings and reviews to your products. Once a product has ratings and reviews they will be automatically be added to the generated structured data. This requires you have setup Rating Value and Review Count with the values Rating Value and Review Count respectively.

Which image appears in the structured data?

DJ Classifieds allows you to add more than one image per item. The image that appears first in order(left to right) will be used in the generated structured data if the value of the property Image is set to Image.
