Great mod one question
 
Hi I have just done Carrie's mod and it looks great. I have 3.5 so it works fine. When I now looks at my meta tags it now looks like this

<title>IYOGA FOLDAWAY BACKBENDER- X-CART. Powerful PHP shopping cart software

How can I change the Xcart bit to the name of my store?

Thanks

Mark

Search in your "languages" link in the admin for x-cart and you should find that part probably in a subtitle label or text. Let me know if that doesn't make sense!

New news on this mod! We are just about to complete an improvement to this mod. It will be a paid version though, but should be inexpensive (I haven't set the price yet..but plan to be no more than $35).

What the new version will allow you to do:
-Add 2 extra fields, one for keywords and one for description for a product.
-Will select keywords and description for a product via the extra fields
-If no extra field values exist, then it will use keywords from the title and/or description from the product description.

So this allows you flexiblity to import keywords and description when you import your products via csv. It will also allow you to not HAVE to put keywords and description specific to each product as it will default to the way the free version works if you don't put anything in the extra fields.

Let me know your thoughts on this. It's been tested and written for 4.0.x We are finializing the install directions now to release this week. If you have any other ideas to add to it, we will consider them!

title tag
 
Thanks Carrie

In reference to my problem above if anyone has a similar problem the language variable that you need to change is

txt_site_title

this is in admin languages, select english, select text values and then click onto the page with txt_site_title, edit this and update.

Thanks

Is title supposed to change with this mod?
 
Thank you Carrie.

I have implemented this mod and it works perfectly to modify the meta tags. However, my page titles do not change from the one listed in the languages section. Have I done something wrong or should the page title be the same as the product name? I am using version 3.5.7 and would love to get this working.

Thanks for your help,

Jim K.

This mod actually doesn't have anything to do with the page titles or customer/home.tpl, just the product keyword meta tag and the product description meta tag.

The default x-cart way for that version, is to have the title of the page be the product title. If you want to email me your customer/home.tpl I can look quickly and see if you have a mistake in it that's not allowing your product titles to become your page titles. Or you can get my free site title tip that may help too. Many really like that one too.

Jim,

Did you make any changes to the meta.tpl and change the keywords and the description there?


Kind regards,
Ricky
