Magento 2 Resource Center
A Magento-native educational library for manuals, parts ID guides, how-tos, and equipment research — organized by topic so shoppers identify the right product before they buy. Built for merchants who need a content hub, not another blog.
Storefront Library
Topic Libraries Shoppers Actually Use
The Resource Center landing page presents featured libraries and browse-by-topic tiles with search built in. Each category becomes a focused library — New Holland parts, Maytag wringer washers, off-grid systems — so customers research fitment and procedure before they hit Add to Cart.
- ✓ Configurable
/resource-centerroute with breadcrumbs and sitemap - ✓ Featured libraries + topic grid for fast discovery
- ✓ In-library search for manuals, parts ID, and how-tos
- ✓ Hyvä-friendly templates that match modern Magento storefronts
Equipment Libraries
Nested Categories Built for Parts & Procedures
Unlimited nested categories let you model real equipment families — not flat blog tags. Merchants control name, slug, short description, SEO/AEO fields, and hierarchy so each library reads like a specialist desk, not a news feed.
- ✓ Parent/child category trees with active flags and sort order
- ✓ Tile blurbs for landing cards, separate from AEO summary fields
- ✓ Resource cards with tags, excerpts, and clear CTAs
- ✓ Ideal for aftermarket parts, manuals, and how-to education
Structured Guides
Checklists, FAQs, and SEO Schema — Not Just HTML
Each resource supports structured merchant fields: schema type (Article / HowTo / Guide), takeaways, primary question, FAQs, assets, related products, and related resources. Shoppers get on-page navigation and actionable checklists; search engines get meaningful JSON-LD.
- ✓ Schema Type drives JSON-LD (Guide, HowTo steps, Article)
- ✓ Takeaways, primary question, and FAQ blocks for AEO
- ✓ PDFs, videos, external links, and related catalog products
- ✓ Publish scheduling, featured flags, and sort order
Merchant Admin
Manage Libraries Without Leaving Magento
Resources and categories live under Content → Resource Center. Editors get Magento-native grids and forms — title, slug, status, publish date, schema type, featured image, excerpt, rich content, SEO, and structured fields — no separate CMS silo.
- ✓ Resource list with filters, status, featured, and sort order
- ✓ Category edit with hierarchy, tile blurb, and SEO/AEO fields
- ✓ Stores → Configuration → Toweringmedia → Resource Center
- ✓ Requires
toweringmedia/module-basefor licensing and hub discovery
Admin Editing
Structured Fields Merchants Can Fill
Resource edit is more than a WYSIWYG blob. Schema type, excerpt, takeaways, meta fields, and primary question sit beside content so marketing and SEO can maintain educational pages without developer tickets for every update.
- ✓ Guide / HowTo / Article schema selector with field gating
- ✓ Featured image upload or media gallery select
- ✓ Meta title, description, keywords, robots, canonical override
- ✓ Designed for equipment education — reduce wrong-part returns
