Latest Version on Packagist Software License Build Status Coverage Status Quality Score Supported Magento Versions

Allows you to add global layout update files to be selected from admin, by using 0 instead of a category_id / sku / url_path.

Compatible with Magento 2.3.4 and higher, since cms-page/product/category specific layouts where introduced in this version.

Purpose

In Magento 2.3.4, xml layout updates were removed from the Magento Admin, for security reasons. Previously this textfield allowed you to add XML Layout updates to any given Category, Product or CMS Page. After the update, this textfield is no longer available, but you can select custom layout updates which are defined in xml layout files in the filesystem.

After uploading/deploying selectable layout files onto your project's filesystem, these layouts can be selected from the admin under the Design section. The field is called Custom Layout Update.

Usage:

Replace identifiers in selectable layouts with a 0 (zero). Add layout file to themes/modules using:

  • catalog_category_view_selectable_0_.xml for Categories
  • catalog_product_view_selectable_0_.xml for Products
  • cms_page_view_selectable_0_.xml for Cms pages

These files can go anywhere where you'd normally put layout files. For example: app/design/frontend/[Theme_Vendor]/[Theme_Name]/Magento_Theme/layout/catalog_category_view_0_customchanges.xml

You can now select the layout update at any given Category/Product/Page, under Custom layout update field of Design.
