tags to menu

Post by notintine »

Hi everyone,I want to add a specific Phoca Cart tag to my Joomla menu, but I am facing a structural problem.

Currently, there is no option to create a menu item for a single Tag, nor is there a tag filter inside the "Items (Products)" menu view.If I use the "System Links -> External URL" menu type with a non-SEF link (e.g., &tag=2-huaran), I cannot manage critical SEO settings for that page. The External URL type in Joomla completely locks out the Meta Description, Browser Page Title, and H1 header options.
How can I create a clean SEF menu item for a specific Phoca Cart tag while retaining full control over its SEO metadata and H1 titles? Is there a recommended workaround or a specific plugin/module for this that I might have missed?
Thank you in advance for your help!

I think I might have made a mistake and it's standard somewhere and I didn't notice...
Let me know if I look like an idiot, it won't change anything.
If there's a paid add-on, let me know.
And if there isn't, let me know too, and I'll write something like that.
Saludos cordiales mis amigos queridos

Hi, the tags are a part of items view URL, so the simplest way is just filter the products by selected tag, then copy this URL and paste it to menu as URL. This is the simplest way.

Yes, you're right, but adding the menu item as a URL doesn't allow me to control the alias, h1, navigation title, metadescription, lang association, etc.

Is there a plugin that can display all products with a specific tag in an article?

Hi, you cannot change the alias in case of this URL because then Phoca Cart will not know how to manage such link - you have already included alias e.g. from categories view, e.g. www yourdomain com / shop ? tags = x y z - the shop is unique alias from other eshop menu link:

The goal is not to change the URL alias but have the same in different tree levels
