You can access the add-on settings page by using one of the following methods:

Method 1

Click on the Settings link on the add-on tile in the My Apps section (Apps > My Apps).

This opens the Setting tab of the Vehicles & Fitments page:

Method 2

Go to Catalog > Vehicles & Fitments:

Then switch to the Setting tab:

Configuring the Add-on Settings

  1. Nesting Levels Configuration

  2. Level Properties Configuration

  3. General Settings Configuration

  4. Fitment Levels & Clean URLs Configuration

  5. Level Info Page View Configuration

Nesting Levels Configuration

First, use the Number of fitment levels selector to choose the number of filter nesting levels needed for your store.

You can select between 2 and 4 filter nesting levels. Examples:

  • MMY configuration with four filtering levels

  • MMY configuration with two filtering levels

Level Properties Configuration

Configure the properties for each level enabled in the previous step. Depending on the number of levels selected, you will need to configure between 2 and 4 levels.

Each level has its own set of settings that must be configured.

  • Level name: Set the name of the filter level.
    ​

    By default, the filter level names are set to Make / Model / Year / Submodel, but you can customize these names as desired.

  • Sorting: This setting affects the order in which elements will be displayed at this level. For example, if we are configuring the properties of the level titled "Make", this setting will affect the order of elements in the "Shop By Make" featured block on the store's Home page and on the "Shop By Make" page.

    • Ascending: A-Z, 0-9

    • Descending: Z-A, 9-0

  • Page display mode: Select how elements should be displayed on the page corresponding to this level. Each element can be shown as a name, a logo, or a combination of both.

    • Name

    • Logo

    • Logo & Name

  • Show featured block: Enable the toggle to display a featured block for this level (like "Shop By Year", "Shop By Model", etc.) on the Home page.

    Note: The featured block will appear on the homepage only if it contains elements to display. If the toggle is enabled but the block does not appear, ensure that the level elements have the "Show on Front Page" toggle enabled. For more information, refer to the Filter Management guide.

  • Block display mode: Select how elements should be displayed in the featured block corresponding to this level. Each element can be shown as a name, a logo, or a combination of both.

    • Name

    • Logo

    • Logo & Name

  • Number of items in block: Set the maximum number of elements to display in the featured block on the Home page. If the level has more elements than this limit, the additional elements will be hidden from the featured block. For example, if configuring the "Make" level and setting this field to "2," no more than two elements will appear in the "Shop By Make" featured block on the Home page. However, the "Shop By Make" page will display all available elements for the "Make" level.
    ​

    Important: Elements will be displayed in the featured block only if they have the "Show on Front page" toggle enabled. See more info in the Filter Management guide.

General Settings Configuration

After configuring the properties for all the levels you plan to use, proceed to the General Settings configuration; these settings apply to the add-on as a whole.

  • Maximum banner width (in case of one image): Set the width of a banner displayed on the Level Info page. The preset value is 500.

  • Maximum banner height (in case of one image): Set the height of a banner displayed on the Level Info page. The preset value is 200.

  • Vehicle page display mode: Select what information about a vehicle should be displayed on the vehicle landing page. The vehicle landing page is displayed when customers set the YMM filters and click GO. The available options are:

    • Categories & Products;

    • Categories.

  • "Your vehicle" filtering mode on catalog pages: Select the desired filtering mode. The mode determines the types of products displayed for the selected vehicle on the catalog pages (search page, category page, brand page, promo pages):

    • Vehicle Specific Products only - Only products marked as "Vehicle Specific" will be displayed for the selected vehicle.

    • Vehicle Specific and Universal Fit Products - Products marked as "Vehicle Specific" or "Universal Fit" will be displayed for the selected vehicle.

    • Vehicle Specific, Universal Fit, and Regular Products – Products marked as "Vehicle Specific", "Universal Fit", or "Regular Products" will be displayed for the selected vehicle.

    NOTE: Enabling the 2nd and 3rd options may slow down filtering performance for large product catalogs (more than 10 000 items).

  • Reset filter behavior: Choose the preferred site behavior (Reload page or Redirect to homepage) when a customer clicks "Reset filter" on the storefront. The default setting is Reload page.

  • Redirect to the search page if the landing page is not ready (description is empty): When this feature is enabled, customers will be redirected to the regular store search page if no description is available for the level info page that matches their filter selection (see "Level Info Page Setup" for more information).

Fitment Levels & Clean URLs Configuration

Configure whether the URLs of certain store pages should include the information on the Make/Model/Year add-on filters applied or not.

Clean URLs will differ for the pages with the Make/Model/Year add-on filters applied depending on the toggle status.

For example, if we set the Make/Model/Year filter to Audi A1 (8X), 2011-2015 manufacture year, and 1.4 TFSI 185 engine, the filter URL part will be /audi/a1-8x-/2011-2015/1-4-tfsi-185-/. The store pages' URLs will change as follows:

The Clean URLs format for the Make/Model/Year add-on will also depend on the "etc/config.php" file configuration. Learn more about the Make/Model/Year Clean URLs format here.

Level Info Page View Configuration

The Make/Model/Year add-on settings page also allows configuring the "Level Info" page view.

The section toggles enable additional info blocks to display on the filter landing page (the page with the search results matching the filters), called "Level Info Page." Learn how to configure the general "Level Info Page" representation here.

When you complete adjusting the add-on settings, click the "Submit" button to activate them.
