Table of contents in PrestaShop

Table of contents in an online store is an element that presents the structure of a long description. The table of contents is placed above the detailed product description or long description pages (CMS) or blog posts. The table of contents consists of hyperlinks linking to each section of the description.

A table of contents makes it easier for users to navigate through content, especially when a page has a lot of text, many sections and headings. The table of contents is useful for users who are looking for specific information or want to quickly jump to a particular section without having to scroll through the page.

From a UX perspective, a table of contents improves the user experience of your online store:

• Reducing the rejection rate
• Increasing time on page
• Increase conversions

Automatic generation of table of contents

In the module settings, you can enable automatic table of contents generation for:

• Long product description
• CMS page
• Blog entries from our SEO Blog module

Your descriptions should contain H1-H6 headings in order for the module to generate a valid table of contents.

Based on the H1 - H6 headings found in the text, the module creates a multi-level table of contents. All items in the table of contents are internal links (anchors), which take the user to the appropriate places in the text (automatically scrolling the page).

In the module configuration, select which headings (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6) you want the module to use when generating the table of contents.

Does not load the server

The module intelligently examines when a product description, CMS or blog post has changed and only then updates the table of contents.

Location of the table of contents in the store

In the module, you can enable the display of the table of contents for product pages, CMS pages and blog.

In addition, set the minimum number of characters above which the table of contents will be generated - sometimes it is not worth generating the table of contents for very short descriptions.

Automatically on the product page

The module detects where a long product description is displayed. The table of contents will appear above the product description.

Automatically on the CMS page

The module will display the table of contents above the content of the CMS page. In the module, you can indicate the CMS pages for which you want to display the table of contents.

Manual placement

You can disable automatic placement and use Smart-Tags. Paste the Smart-Tag anywhere in your template to display the table of contents in it.

Install and forget

After installation and configuration, the module runs unattended and does not require CRON.
