For a bigcommerce site I'm working on we will need to have custom content types or something similar that would accomplish the same goal.
One example is we need a way for the admin to arbitrarily add locations that have the following fields: latitude, longitude, as well as text fields for facts.
I saw that there were ways that you could add ui fields to products
https://developer.bigcommerce.com/stencil-docs/configure-store-design-ui/defining-ui-options
But what I want to create is not a product. I want various types of posts with their own set of fields. Basically the same kind of features I would be able to find in something like Drupal.
Edit: Also I cannot use any outside cms. It can only be the bigcommerce cms alone

Basically I'm working on my personal project, and I'm building a react native app that serves a very similar purpose to that of eBay's or Gumtree or the like. Users can obviously search for a product, I want to show search suggestions based on what the user types. Search engines usually show suggestions based on what is also being searched by other users, or what data is already is already posted on the site.
Since this is a personal project neither of those two cases apply. I need a way to still provide suggestions to user searches.
One way I tried doing this, is by finding a txt file with a bunch of product names and filtering through that based on user search.
I tried doing the same approach but by using an API instead of a text file.
I couldn't find any resources for either of those 2 methods, so I don't really know what to do
Any suggestions or references to material would be greatly appreciated!
everyone,
I have a "small" problem here for which I have not yet found a suitable solution. I hope you have the right food for thought for me.
We are currently in the process of introducing a new ERP (Weclapp - www.weclapp.com), which will transfer the product data to Woocommerce via ERP's own API. Many of our products are quite similar and available in different versions (industrial parts with different alloys, angles, sizes, etc.). Our product range includes tens of thousands of different products, so it is essential to offer the user a filtering option. Although it would be possible to create a variant article in the ERP, we would like to avoid this if possible (due to the circumstances that this would create on the part of the ERP). Unfortunately, the API does not allow us to transfer product attributes directly to single articles. The API only offers the possibility to transfer your own fields (created in the ERP) and output them in Woocommerce in the tab "Additional Information" or alternatively to fill an existing field in Woocommerce (can also be a custom field) via Meta Data Key.
I found the Meta Data Key for the product attributes, but I only have the possibility to transfer simple values like "Stainless Steel", "180°", "2SN" etc. The Meta Data Key for the product attributes looks a bit more cryptic and would be replaced by the simple values.
Does anyone have an idea or a workaround how I can use the values of the additional fields of the ERP as filterable data in Woocommerce?
Thanks a lot already!
I have implemented Schema.org (using Microdata) inside my product pages and when I check Google Webmaster Tools it is crawled by Googlebot and interpreted successfully. The point is I have not implemented some properties inside Product type like brand.
I need to know whether there is some subset of all product attributes should be implemented essentially?
And the second question is how much it takes for Google to show product rating and price as rich snippet inside search results?
There are no mandatory properties/types in Schema.org.
However, consumers of the data, like Google Search, might have rules under which conditions they will make something with your data (e.g., they are looking for specific properties). So you’d have to check their documentation.
For Google Search, their Rich Snippets are documented at https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/. The Products Rich Snippets lists the required and optional properties/types. As you can see, the brand property is not required by Google for showing their Rich Snippet in the search results.

As google has pointed out the structured data required for a snippet are :
Product
Name
Description
Pricespecifications (to include:)
Pricecurrency
Pricevalue
Availability
Validfrom
Image
First you should consider checking if the validfrom and availability attributes are added because both of them are the most common mistakes when you write your first SEO codes.
Then there are some attributes that while they are not in required list by Google's developers there seem to be the once that all successful snippets have (you might have noticed that too ) , the : review and vote attributes including the expect values from schema.org libraries. In some people's opinion ,mine also, having those will "almost" make sure they will get noticed.
Those are not pretty easy to get because u will have to create a way for getting reviews and votes.
Otherwise try using the webmaster new tool search console to highlight data for product snippet. Just make sure that the required attributes have their expected values in the text so you can mark all the above attributes with the tool.
Make sure all the attributes are markup and not meta data as it shows you are just making information up.
About the time , check that the structured data have increase for the peoduct and if not then fetch and submit to index.
I would like to create a searchbox like the standard one in Drupal but for Drupal Commerce (1.4). I did not use a product display, but all my products are created.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
I found this: http://drupal.org/project/commerce_search_api
and this: http://commerceguys.com/blog/commerce-module-tuesday-commerce-search-api (funny english :-) )
I've tried the second one, but I don't need a price ruler. I just want to give the visitor the possibility to search through my products. Not only the title field, but also the description field and if possible the taxonomy terms. It didn't work anyway.
Need help! Thx!
I thought to create this with views, but all good suggestions are welcome.
You could disable the Search API modules and simply use the default Search module provided by Drupal, this would enable searching through nodes, users, etc as usual.
The Search API may be over kill for what you want, unless you have a good mix of variations, prices, product attributes, etc that you would like users to use as search filters (price range, per attribute, etc).
I'm currently developing a back-end for chefs at various restaurants to report their daily menues in a structured format. Of pragmatic reasons have I chosen to use a web CMS and use many of the features already include including a flexible rights-management module
I want to utilise the existing functions in Joomla for access control, editing and navigation, but I need to replace the textfield with five field (each representing one day of the working week) and save this in a structured way into the database. I was planning to create a editor plugin which displays the field for the chef-users and parse the in-data into a structured data-format e.g. XML. For each week I will need to create empty templates for all the restaurants displaying the week number and dates.
I was also hoping for third-party developers to access this data through RESTful methods in the URL where the structure could be something like: http://domain.no/restaurant-name/menu for a text-menu http://domain.no/restaurant-name/json for json etc.
I guess my question is how I can start developing such features. Has there been developed anything similar and are there modules developed for Joomla which I can utilise? Does my approach sounds sensible or are there any other good way of solving my problem?
For a custom content management i would use Zoo component from Yootheme (not free!). You can define your fields,
But for developers access, i have no idea, sorry!
