Shogun Frontend

The URL is hardcoded for pages that are generated via a template and are tied to a platform CMS group, such as Products, ProductCollections, Categories, and Brands.

Products: /products/product-name

ProductCollections: /collections/collection-name

- Products: /products/product-name
- ProductCollections: /collections/collection-name

Categories /categories/category-name

- Products: /products/product-name
- Categories /categories/category-name
- Brands: /brands/brand-name

<code>CmsEntry.Name</code> gets the <code>Product.Slug</code> for the Products model.

- <code>Cms.Entry.Name</code> for Shopify Products and Collections is not the product <code>title</code> field from Shopify, but rather the <code>product.slug</code> or <code>collections.slug</code> from the CMS that contains Shopify's Product or Collection <code>handle</code>. This is because the URL and handle need to be unique per Product/Collection while the <code>title</code> in Shopify does not.
- BigCommerce uses the same default rule except the <code>CmsEntry.Name</code> is a slug version of the field <code>Name</code>

<code>CmsEntry.Slug</code> is the slugged version of <code>CmsEntry.Name</code>

<code>Page.Path</code> is also the slugged version of <code>CmsEntry.Name</code>

- <code>Page.Path</code> goes through a sanitizer that removes special characters.

URLs for Manually-Created CMS Entries tied to a Template

The URL path will by default be <code>/{contentGroupName}/{contentItemName}</code> for pages that are generated by a Template and are tied to a CMS group that was manually created, such as blogs.

If you have specific needs for that Template, you can customize the URL structure that generates the page paths. See <a href="https://docs.getshogun.com/shogun-frontend-guides/docs/page-path-generation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Custom URL Structure</a>.

URLs for Custom Pages not tied to a Template

One-off custom pages that are created manually have a <code>Page Path</code> field input. There is validation to ensure that no duplicate paths exist prior to saving.

Shopify automatically creates URLs for products nested within collections.

For example, if you have a Product named <code>Potato</code> and it is part of two Collections <code>Baked</code> and <code>Salad</code> then the following URLs will be created:

<code>/collections/baked/products/potato</code>

<code>/collections/salad/products/potato</code>

- <code>/products/potato</code>
- <code>/collections/baked/products/potato</code>
- <code>/collections/salad/products/potato</code>

📘 The latter two alternate paths do not have associated pages in Frontend, rather, we create the HTML on the backend and add them to the sitemap.xml file.
