PRO - Custom Template Creation TIPS

Support
#1

HI there,

I have a site here:

https://www.birdie-elektromosauto.hu/birdiecar-offroad/bc-4x4/

Problem is, when I created it, I did not realize that there will 4 languages and 40 products on each.
I’m thinking of easier ways of updating this in the long term. I thought of creating some sort of template, and I would like to have some questions regarding that. If I create a template, is there a shortcode for example to include a specific header created in the header builder? Or I should do that through Global Headers as before?

Also, can I use cornerstone code? Or should I use HTML / CSS markup?

An important piece of information is that although these are products, I don’t know if I should use Woocommerce products as these are not for sale through the website, so they only act as a catalogue.

So I was thinking that maybe creating a template for each language>

Creating ACF fields to be used in the backend.

Might be the way to go. What would you recommend?

Hey @Pbalazs89,

It sounds like you’re going to create a custom PHP Page Template. There’s no shortcode available for the builders except the Global Blocks. You can assign a header to any page or post programatically though by follow this article by a Pro user: https://michaelbourne.ca/assign-pro-header-search-results-page/

For the content, you need to custom code your own HTML, CSS and PHP and some X Shortcodes if you need them.

To make a grid of products, you can use one of the bundled grid plugins. Please see the items below:

Just FYI, you still can use WooCommerce even if you won’t sell products. You can use it as a catalog. Please check the WooCommerce documentation to learn how.

Hope that helps.
