CM Product Directory (CMPD) - Additional Links and Fields

Additional Links & Fields

Back to User Guide

Custom links can be added across all the products which appear in the directory. Once setting the custom link label it will also show in the input field once editing the product and also in the output field once displaying the products. 

Leaving them blank will not show them in both places. All custom links are presented in the email and social links sections and can be used as an example to add additional social links such as Reddit profile or Vimeo or anything else you desire.
