Attention! Some modules may not be included into your template package. This section describes configuration of all modules that are used in our templates. Each template pack is provided with a set of modules which is included into the design of this specific template.

AMP Module

The Accelerated Mobile Page module which is developed by Zemez team is compatible with Magento 2.2. and designed to convert your Magento store pages into AMP technology pages. The extension can automatically create Magento AMP mobile pages for Category Pages and Product Pages.

Pages powered by AMP will be immediately loaded with content, as shown below:

The users will know that a site has APM enabled by an APM sign next to the page on Google Results Page.

Module settings can be reached at the Store > Configuration > Zemez > Accelerated Mobile Page section at site admin panel.

Enable the AMP Module

Here you can enable AMP for Category Pages and Product Pages of your store.

On the module settings page set the Enable Extension option to "Yes".

Remember to save the settings (tap Save Config) and clear Magento cache.

How to change the AMP Logo size

If you want to change the AMP Logo size, go to your Magento store root folder and open the tm-wrapper.phtml file, which is stored under the app\code\Zemez\Amp\view\templates\html folder.

The size changes will not affect the standard page (non-AMP) Logo dimensions.

Find the next code:

$logoWidth = '190';
$logoHeight = '60';

Replace the logoWidth and logoHeight values with new ones, then save the changes.

The AMP Logo height should not exceed 60 px.

CSS styles for AMP pages

Go to your Magento root directory and open the app\code\Zemez\Amp\view\templates\head\css folder.

Here you can find the following files:

  • category.phtml - Category Page styles.
  • index.phtml - Home Page styles.
  • product.phtml - Product Page styles.
  • style.phtml - buttons, links and header css styles.

How to remove custom blocks and widgets from AMP page

In case you don't want any custom block or widget to be displayed on the AMP page, do the following:

1. Go to your Magento store root folder and open the zamp_defult.xml file you can find under the app\code\Zemez\Amp\view\layout folder.

2. Insert the <referenceContainer name="block.name" remove="true" /> code before the </body> tag, block.name here is your actual block name (the block you want to remove from the AMP page).

Let's see what slider options are available. As you can see options are divided into several parts to make the configuration interface more user friendly.

General Options

Main Settings

This section allows you to set slider title, select store view, enable/disable slider, set its width and height.

Slider dimensions [width and height] can be set to a fixed value, like 900 (indicating 900 pixels), or to a percentage value, like 100%.
Please note: slide title, store view and status are required, you cannot save the slide without these values set.
Image Settings

In image section you can adjust slider image configuration settings. Each option has a brief description. Let's describe some of them more specifically.

The Aspect Ratio
Sets the aspect ratio of the slides. If set to a value different than -1, the height of the slides will be overridden in order to maintain the specified aspect ratio.
Image Scale Mode

Force Size

Note: It's possible to make the slider full width or full window by giving it a width and/or height of '100%'. However, sometimes the slider might be inside other containers which are less than full width/window. The 'forceSize' property is useful in those situations because it will still enlarge the slider to fill the width or window by overflowing its parent elements.

Site Maintenance

The Site Maintenance module for Magento 2 allows you to display the "Site under maintenance" page and let your customers know that now there is some technical work going on and that the website will soon become available.
With the help of this plugin, you can change the appearance of this page. You can whitelist IPs, which allows users gain access to the frontend. You can specify the end time of the service work and display a timer to let your clients know the timing of this work. The module allows you display a subscription form for this page, and in the end of the work you can send e-mail notifications to your clients.
