  • Inherit to all subcategories that have no layout assigned

Initial situation / purpose of the plugin

In Shopware Standard you can assign a layout to each category - if you don't do that, then a default layout is used.
If you want to assign a customized layout to categories, then you have to assign the customized layout to every single category.
With this plugin it is easily possible to assign a customized layout to a supercategory and inherit it "downwards".

A supercategory can also be the "Home" category, then the customized layout will be inherited to all subcategories - if in a subcategory another layout should be used than the "inherited" one, this is possible in the settings without any problem.

The following inheritance logics are available:
  • Default (=no inheritance).
  • Inherit to all subcategories that have a default layout or no layout assigned.
    (If additional inheritances have been specified in subcategories, they will be used).
  • Inherit to all subcategories which have no layout assigned
    (If additional inheritances are specified in subcategories, they will be used)
  • Inherit to all subcategories, regardless of whether they have a layout assigned to them or not.
    (If additional inheritances are specified in subcategories, they will be used).

   Note: If additional inheritances have been set in subcategories, then these will be used - so inheritances can be interrupted!

   For a better overview, where the layout is taken from, we show a corresponding hint.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this works: If, for example, in the HOME category an inheritance of a layout to all subcategories was set, then this is normally inherited to all subcategories - unless another inheritance is created in a subordinate category, then from this category the inheritance is interrupted and the new inheritance is used. For the overview from which category the inheritance takes place, we show a note at the categories, from where the inheritance was taken over.
