Meta Management

Meta are collections of reusable content that can be linked to block templates. It works similar to the Custom Data / Metaobject structure in Shopify: first a meta list is created, then this list is linked to the corresponding block with the xtype: meta field from the block settings.

The system supports three meta types: Banner, Slider, Text. Each type has multiple template variants and the content is rendered according to these variants.

FAQ and Our Stores

FAQ (FAQ) and Our Stores contents are handled differently — although they appear in the Meta list, they will be presented as separate pages in the dashboard, with special templates and administrative screens similar to Fixed Contents.

Page Structure

Meta management has two layers:

Meta Listesi (/meta)
└── Meta (örn: "Ana Sayfa Slider")
    └── Meta Detay (/meta/slider/:id)
        └── Kayıtlar (slide 1, slide 2, slide 3…)

Binding to Block

To link a meta list to a block, a field of type xtype: "meta" is defined in the block setting.json file:

{
  "dataIndex": "meta_id",
  "text": "Meta Seçiniz",
  "xtype": "meta"
}

From the Block Management > Settings tab, you can choose among the metas created in this field. The selected meta is available in the template via variables:

{$META.TITLE}       ← Meta başlığı
{$META.ITEMS}       ← Öğe dizisi
{$META.PERVIEW}     ← Gösterim limiti

---

Creating Bulk Items with AI JSON

When creating a new meta, an artificial intelligence-generated JSON string can be pasted into the Meta Items Json field. The system automatically creates meta elements through this array.

Sample usage flow:

1. Describe the structure of the meta type (title, image, link, description) to the AI ​​tool
2. Ask for content to produce (e.g. “create 8 feature cards”)
3. Paste the output JSON into the Meta Items Json field
4. Create the meta record — items will be uploaded automatically

TIP

Items Json can only be entered when creating new meta. To bulk add items to an existing meta with JSON, you can create a new meta and then assign it to the relevant block.

FAQ and Our Stores

Although the contents FAQ (FAQ) and Our Stores use the meta engine, they are presented as separate, dedicated pages in the panel:

• They will have their own management screens (similar to Fixed Contents)
• Will be rendered with custom template files (TPL/SCSS/JS)
• Content can be entered directly without requiring meta type selection

Therefore, they are managed not through the Meta List, but from their relevant pages in the Design & Content menu.
