Default Advanced Page Meta v4.7.x

A fast way to update the important title and meta description fields for optimal SEO...

v4.7.x
  • Update title tags and meta descriptions in bulk
  • Available on products, categories, manufacturers and static pages listings
  • Set maximum character lengths if you wish
  • Displays warning icons if titles and/or meta descriptions are empty








DOWNLOAD


In addition, for optimal SEO on products with missing titles, I recommend that Admin > SEO > "Page title format" is set to "Product name :: Category name :: Shop name"

Enjoy.


Updated 11th May 2019 - /skin/common_files/modules/Adv_Page_Meta/toggle_all.tpl updated to prevent entering double/single quote characters, which is a no-no

Updated 11th Sept 2017 - skin/common_files/modules/Adv_Page_Meta/manufacturers.tpl - fixed
Updated 10th Aug 2017 - Displays a red warning icon if titles and/or meta descriptions are empty for items - See ADDED 10/8/17 in the install.txt
Updated 9th Jul 2016 - Character limiters disabled by default

Awesome Phil! It would be really cool if you were able to add several other fields to also be changed on the product grid. A mega product management mod, if you will.

What fields did you have in mind, I may extend this mod...

Just something for ideas sake. This is the cart I am moving from. I have the option to add properties to the product grid and change them on the fly without opening the product edit. There are many options with this mod, too many IMO. You also have the option of sorting the headings. It doesn't need to be this extensive. I left out over 1/2 of the attributes possible.

We have a mod that allows you to batch update common product data that may be what you are looking for:

http://www.bcsengineering.com/store/batch_product-updating-for-x-cart.html

Keep in mind the screen shot is from an old version of X-cart but you can get the gist of the functionality.

Thanks,

Carrie

Is there anyway you could add the ability for custom category descriptions that were individual for each page when you have x products per page and you end up with page 1 / 2 /3. Hope this makes sense.
