nopCommerce offers a great functionalilty of "topic" pages that allow store owners / managers to create pages right from the administration section without even touching the source code. Creating these topic pages on the fly from the administration section DOES NOT require any technical skills. As long as you have the access to the administration section (& required privilege), you can easily create a topic page.

But, what if you (as a store owner / manager) want to change the layout of the topic pages? What if you want topic page 1 to look different from topic page 2? Let's look into the process that allows you to choose different templates for different topic pages.

A sitemap acts as a phone directory for your website that gives information about all the pages of your website. In order to have a successfully online business, a website's ranking is quite important when it comes to search engines. So, when you add any new page to your site, it is important to add it in the sitemap.Today, we will go over the process of adding a topic page to sitemap in nopCommerce.

In the latest version of nopCommerce 3.60, the topics section have been improved quite a lot and now it offers a lot more functionality opposed to the previous versions of topics. The new topics are more flexible now and because of that a lot of users can make use of topics instead of hard-coded (or manually added) pages. This would be very helpful to store admins (or retailers) who are not tech savvy and they can easily add new pages to the store site from the administration section.

We will be focusing on 3 main improvements today:

1) Allow store owners to add topics to the footer
2) Allow store owners to chose template for topics
3) Allow store owners to make topic pages accessible while public store is closed
