Default BCSE Static Page Meta Tag Control - xcart 4.1.9 broke it!

To anyone with BCSE's OUTSTANDING Static Page Meta Tag Control mod (last I checked, this was a FREE mod! Thanks Carrie!) - if/when you install/upgrade to 4.1.9, you will have to remove it, as it will not work with 4.1.9 until some of the code is rewritten.

I have alerted BCSE about this, but I am hoping to let other users know that this mod was broken by 4.1.9 -- seems xcart decide to use $query_data = array( in 4.1.9, as opposed to the older way of db_query("INSERT INTO -- and this breaks things...

I am hoping a sql expert can sort this out soon -- but in the mean time, this may explain why your upgrade is failing. As usual, there is no discussion of this in the changelog.

To Carrie -- we understand that you were mugged on this -- and hopefully this won't be a big deal to fix. Please keep us posted.

I am a HUGE fan of the BCSE <title> tag mods -- since the title tag is one of the most important elements for SEO. Some would say THE most important. XCART routinely speaks of improving the SEO of xcart, but until each page has unique and relevant title tags, you need a mod. The difference between a generic page title with your site name and a well written custom page name can't be underestimated. I wonder why Xcart broke this...
