Eliminating Meta Tags

[Jay Gee]

Hi all!

I'm using version 1.3.8a.

I am interested in "turning off" the Meta Tags generator
for all of my Zen Cart pages.

Is there a simple global switch in the Admin function?

Or is there a better way?

As always, thanks for your help!

To what end are you seeking this?

Kobra asked why I want to eliminate Meta Tags from my pages...

1.) the content is not going to be search engine accessible;

2.) by design, I am bypassing the Main Index storefront and putting links to individual product pages elsewhere in the html on my site.

Therefore, I don't need the meta tags associated with search engine content, page description, keywords, etc.

The site robots.txt file will show the cart as a "closed" space.

You will have to hack a copy of html_header.php where these are built

If you have not tested this yet - - I would as you will experience session issues.

Thanks for the tip about hacking html_header.php. That's the conclusion I came to and the results seem no problem.

Today, I did test entering directly to the cart by using a link taken from the product_info page source. It got me to the cart but it was empty.

Thanks for your comments.

As I stated, there are many issues....
ZenCart is not intended/designed for nor easily used as merely an addon in pieces like a add to cart function for ones own pages.
