meta tags for specials page, new products page, and all products

[ebaobao]

Hello,
How do I define the meta tags and title for the Specials page, New Products page, and All Products page? Thanks.

Anyone? This has to be pretty easy but I just can't find it.

You can change the title by editing the language file for each of those pages.
You can't change the keyword/description metatags for those pages without writing custom code.

In v1.3.8 you can set custom page-specific tags using the meta_tags.php language file.

ok where abouts would the custom code go?

becuase i need to place new meta tags on my 'new releases page'

[Andy_GS]

ok i've established that this is where im supposed to place my custom meta tag data

/languages/english/MY TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

  define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_NEW_PRODUCTS','BLAH BLAH');
  define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_PAGE_NEW_PRODUCTS','BLAH ');
  define('META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'BLAH '); 

however it doesnt seem to port to my new releases page, so is the standard zen cart 'new products page' defined as somthing else i've also tried calling it:

PRODUCTS_NEW 

but this didnt work either so any ideas people?

You've got the format wrong. It should be based on the &main_page=NAME_OF_PAGE
like this:

   define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_PRODUCTS_NEW','BLAH BLAH');
  define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_PRODUCTS_NEW','BLAH ');
  define('META_TAG_TITLE_PRODUCTS_NEW', 'BLAH ');

[Andy_GS]

yeah i did try that version to but it still didnt work.

Well, I just put it on a fresh v1.3.8 site here and it worked fine. Then I copy-and-pasted it to my post above.
There are two differences from what you had originally posted:
a) PRODUCTS_NEW instead of NEW_PRODUCTS
b) removed extra PAGE_ letters from the defines

[Andy_GS]

ok so well i've tried all those various combinations before i posted, and retried your suggestion and it still comes up with the 'default new products' page meta.

so are there any random other tweeks that i need to make to another page in order for this meta to fully reference the problem page?

[DrByte]

Well ... like I said, it works fine for me on a clean new v1.3.8 install using english language.

So ... either you're using something older than 1.3.8, or you're using something other than what I posted, or you've got some code customizations you've done which are breaking the normal operation.
