Take the extra space around the value of that field out and it will stop doing this.

hth

Found that little sucker at the end of line 34 works properly now.


<textarea cols=65 rows=15 name=description>


Thanks for the guided tour.

This is a great mod! Thanks for helping us out!

I have a suggestion/request.

Is there a way to have the products within the category use the same meta title, descriptions and keywords as the category that it resides in?

Thank you!

First of all, awesome work Funkydunk and thanks for the generosity by posting the code up. Thank you!

I got a question that maybe funkydunk or Dlee can answer...I'm haivng that problem where it inserts a space/line break in the description box when I go to edit a category.

Now Funkydunk said to edit the category_modify.tpl and can locate the file...but what is the exact change I have to make?? I'm no programmer (as you can tell)..how do I remove the line break?

Thanks in advance

wlekoh,

If you can locate the file you are almost done. Open this file in a text editor like notepad. I use TextPad and I recommend it, it is very easy to use. Look for the line or do a search in the document via your text editor for this line of code.

<textarea cols=65 rows=15 name=description>

at the end of this line is where the problem is. Their is an extra space there and needs to be deleted. Don't let the line wrap, just delete the space.

Here is the corrected version of category_modify.tpl

That should do it. Just paste this code in to category_modify.tpl and your done.

Thanks Dlee, that fixed it up sure enough!
Has anyone had any problems using webmaster mode after this mod was installed? I can't seem to use that feature of X-cart anymore after installing this.

When I try to apply the patch...I get the following error

INVALID SQL: 1062 : Duplicate entry 'meta_title' for key 1
SQL QUERY FAILURE: INSERT INTO xcart_config VALUES ('meta_title', 'Meta Title', '', 'Company', 600, 'text')

Using MSQL VER 4.0.16

Any Ideas?

I Think it means you have tried or have successfully ran and patched the SQL database using that query. Try going to general settings then "company setting" and have a look if there's fields there for meta tags.

Did you guys realise that by installing Funkydunk's meta mod it creates some problems with the category icons?? You can't add any category icons whatsoever...

Anyone figured out a soltion around this problem??
