P2Lab Advanced Layouts Assigner

Default landing page layout

Shopware does not require a landing page to have a CMS layout assigned. When one is missing, the storefront has nothing to render — and the plugin has nothing to replace, since its model is replacement, not assignment.

The Landing page card in Settings → Extensions → Advanced Layouts Assigner plugs this gap: pick a Default landing page layout and the plugin treats it as the implicit base for any landing page that has no layout of its own. Once the base exists, the replacement mode and replacement types take over as usual.

How to set it

Section titled “How to set it”
  1. Open Settings → Extensions → Advanced Layouts Assigner.
  2. Pick the sales channel at the top (or All sales channels for shared defaults).
  3. In the Landing page card, use the Default landing page layout picker to select a landingpage-type CMS page.
  4. Save.

How it changes behaviour

Section titled “How it changes behaviour”

Without a default:

  • A landing page with no layout assignment → Shopware can’t render it. The plugin doesn’t intervene.

With a default:

  • A landing page with no layout assignment → the plugin sets its layout to your default at load time. From there:
    • In With default layout mode, the default is eligible for replacement when a rule matches.
    • In Assigned to replaceable layouts mode, the default is eligible only if you also list it in Replaceable layouts for landing pages.
    • In All mode, anything goes.

Why landing page is the special case

Section titled “Why landing page is the special case”

Categories always have a fallback (Shopware’s global default category layout — see Settings → Shopping Experiences → Default layouts). Products inherit from the default product page layout. Landing pages have no such global default in Shopware, hence this plugin field.

Per-sales-channel scope

Section titled “Per-sales-channel scope”

Like every other setting, the default landing page layout is per sales channel. The same landing page entity can fall back to a different default per channel — useful when one channel’s landing pages should look like marketing splashes and another’s should look like editorial reads.
