Extended Tags

Extended Tags makes CS-Cart tags more useful for multilingual storefronts, content pages, and SEO workflows. The add-on adds localized tag names, improves tag-based search, and extends import/export so the same tag structure can be maintained across different storefront languages without manual duplication.

What it is for

The add-on is useful for stores that use tags as customer-facing navigation, not just internal labels: on product pages, content pages, and blog pages. It lets customers see tag names in the current storefront language, find products and pages by translated tag names, and transfer tags through import/export together with tag links and SEO data.

Key features

• Multilingual tag names for the storefront and administration panel.
• Product and page search by the original tag name and by its translation.
• Localized tag names on tag pages and in breadcrumbs.
• A page tag block for displaying page tags as a menu.
• A blog tag cloud block based on the standard CS-Cart tag block.
• Extended import and export for tags, tag links, and tag SEO data.
• An import option that prevents creating new tags when they are missing in the database.

How it works

After installation, the add-on stores separate tag names for the store languages. When tags, products, and pages are edited, it matches entered values with saved translations, so customers can find content by a tag in the selected language. On the storefront, the add-on displays the localized tag name and adds blocks that can show page and blog tags in the required layout areas.

For data exchange, the add-on adds separate import/export schemas for tags, tag links, and tag SEO fields. This is useful when transferring a tag structure between stores, updating localizations in bulk, or preparing SEO data.
