The “Product Category” content type in the EIFE portal helps organise products into groups such as vegetables, cheese and dairy, and pasta and cereals. It includes a carousel display to showcase products within each category, making it easy for users to browse visually. This content type integrates with the “Product” content type, ensuring each category displays relevant products with detailed information.

Product category backend from tabs

As most content types, the product category edit form is organized using tabs :

Header section tab

The title of the product category acts as the H1 heading of the page, providing a clear and concise overview of the category. This title is prominently displayed within the banner alongside a descriptive text, which is limited to 350 characters for optimal readability.

When selecting a banner image, it’s best to use a horizontal image that maintains a 16:9 aspect ratio. A recommended size is 1920x720 pixels, but any image that follows these proportions will display correctly without any unintended cropping or distortion. This ensures that the banner looks visually appealing across all devices.

Content section tab

The ‘Structured Text Section’ is a rich text content item that enables editors to craft detailed paragraphs complete with a section title, an H2 paragraph title, and descriptive text.

The “Product category” field enables you to assign the product to its appropriate category within the EIFE portal. There is a predefined set of product categories available to choose from, ensuring consistency and easy navigation across all product pages within the portal. Selecting the correct category helps organise content effectively, making it easier for visitors to explore and understand the range of products featured.
