This section allows you to define the core content of your topic - including the title, main content, and overview text.

Title: Enter the name of your topic page.
Body: The main content area where you can add formatted text, images, links, and other content elements.
Body overview: A short summary or introductory content for the topic. This is typically displayed in topic collections before the full content.
Desktop banner : Upload an image specifically optimized for desktop view.
Mobile banner: An image designed for mobile views
Displays the automatically generated Topic URL, which can be copied and used for linking the topic elsewhere in the store.

Tokens section

The Tokens feature allows you to embed dynamic content directly inside your topic pages. This eliminates the need to manually duplicate similar content across multiple topics and ensures that updates made in one place reflect everywhere the token is used.

This area allows you to insert dynamic content into the topic using tokens. It contains two main cards as displayed in the image below:

Tokens

Token Type	Purpose	Token format	Example	Behavior
Topic token	Embed the content of another topic inside the current topic. Helps reuse content without duplication.	`%topic_id:[TopicId]%`	`%topic_id:5%`	Inserts the content of the topic with ID 5 at the token’s location.
Product token	Display a group of products in a topic (grid or slider). Useful for showcasing featured/related products.	%product_ids:1,2,3\|slider/grid%	%product_ids:1,2,3\|grid%	This will display the specified products (IDs 1, 2, and 3) in a grid layout within the topic content.

Display section:

The Advanced Topic Pages Plugin utilizes the standard nopCommerce display options along with extended flexibility through Topic Collections.

Once a topic is created, you can assign it to a Topic Collection. Each collection can be configured with a specific widget zone, which determines where the collection will appear on the storefront.

This means that all topics grouped under a single collection will be displayed together and automatically in the designated area of your website, as defined by the selected widget zone (for example, on the home page, before best sellers, or in a custom section).
