site-wide meta-tags in meta_tags.php

[takabanana]

Within meta_tags.php...

I realize you define the KEYWORDS meta-tag in CUSTOM_KEYWORDS, but...

where do I define the DESCRIPTION meta-tag? SITE_TAGLINE?

[takabanana]

OK so i figured out that SITE_TAGLINE is not the same as the DESCRIPTION meta-tag.

Anyone know where/how I set up the site-wite DESCRIPTION meta-tag?

Thanks for any help.

You'd have to change the code. It gets built dynamically.

I'm decent with PHP/CSS/HTML, but new to ZenCart.

What do I need to do? Any specific pointers or things I need to read-up on?

Thanks.

[swguy]

Customize the file

includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php

Change

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />

to

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo MY_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />

where MY_DESCRIPTION is whatever you want.

Good luck,
Scott

ah - does ZenCart do a good at generating the site-wide meta-tags by itself? (Does it make any sense, or give any advantage, to customizing it myself?)

just wondering.

thanks

You didn't look before you asked about changing it?

[takabanana]

Nope - silly, yeah, but I didnt realize it was autogenerating it...

I shall do that next...

thanks for the info ..
