Structured data for product pages

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1

Hello,

My product pages aren't showing any structured data.

I have the following plugins enabled.

HikaShop Microdata on Product Page plugin
Hikashop product tag insertion plugin
HikaShop product tag translation plugin

It has worked in previous versions of hikashop and I've only just realised that theres a problem.

I followed the instructions here given by Xavier at the bottom of this post: www.hikashop.com/forum/product-category-...uct-page.html#198461

It made no difference. I do have local business data that's on all pages. I have removed this for purposes of testing, but it made no difference. Can you please help?

Thanks,
Hal

Thank you for your reply.

I used a different template and the microdata was in fact added. How do I replicate this in my main template?

There were a couple of errors in the "Review" section of the testing:

"Author" - Missing and Required
The review has no reviewed item specified.

Many thanks,
Hal

As an update, I have removed a customisation from product / show.php and that has resolved most of the issue.

These errors still remain however,

"Author" - Missing and Required
The review has no reviewed item specified.

Many thanks,
Hal

Hello,

I've been checking my structured data and I'm getting an error "The property price is not recognised by Google for an object of type Product." Has something changed?

Please feel free to test any of my product page URL's here:

Many thanks,
Hal

Hi,

It seems that you have replace the line:

<span id="hikashop_product_price_main" class="hikashop_product_price_main">

<div id="hikashop_product_price_main" class="hikashop_product_price_main">

That has worked brilliantly, thanks.

Is it possible to include Brand and SKU as well?

Hi,

The best would be to add the following in the view "product / show_default" right after the product name div:

<span style="display: none;" itemprop="sku"><?php echo $this->element->product_code; ?></span>
<?php
if(!empty($this->element->product_manufacturer_id)){
	$categoryClass = hikashop_get('class.category');
	$manufacturer = $categoryClass->get($this->element->product_manufacturer_id);
	?><span style="display: none;" itemprop="brand"><?php echo $manufacturer->category_name; ?></span><?php
}
?>

Thanks, that worked well!

There is a small issue though, it's using the SKU of the default variant. For me, that just means numbers added onto the end of the actual SKU i.e. _68. Would it be possible to use SKU of the main product?

Many thanks,
Hal

Hi,

Yes, use this code instead:

<?php if(isset($this->element->main->product_code)){ ?>
<span style="display: none;" itemprop="sku"><?php echo $this->element->main->product_code; ?></span>
<?php }else{ ?>
<span style="display: none;" itemprop="sku"><?php echo $this->element->product_code; ?></span>
<?php } ?>

Perfect,

Thanks for your great support!

Hello,

Do you think it would be possible to only provide rating data on products that have been rated?

I have products that no one has provided a rating for yet. Using the structured data tool, these are seen as errors (see below). This has an adverse effect on display in google as it doesn't use any of the other data, such as price.

Field ratingValue may not be empty.
One of ratingCount or reviewCount must be provided.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks,
Hal

Hello,

Would it be possible to included the following data?

Condition: new

Many thanks,
Hal

Hi,

Could you give us more details about this data, I don't found it on the schema.org website ?
schema.org/docs/search_results.html#q=Condition

Hello Xavier,

It's an error that's coming up on my google merchant center feed. "Missing microdata for condition". There's more about it here:

support.google.com/merchants/answer/6183460?hl=en-GB

I think that it's this one:

schema.org/OfferItemCondition

Many thanks,
Hal

Hi,

The best will be to add it in a product display view. You can add it that way:

<span itemprop="OfferItemCondition" style="display:none;">MyValue</span>

Thanks Xavier,

Could you please confirm which view I would place this in?

Hi,

You can place this code in the "product / show_default" view directly.
