How to Removing Categories from Keywords?

[dmwizzard]

Hi there,

How do i stop my Product Categories being listed in the Keywords and Description with the MetaTags for my Zen-Cart?

I think they are somewhere in the SQL Database in: META_TAG_KEYWORDS.

Many thanks,

Dave.

Product meta tags are defined either generically built or built based on your custom meta tags on a per product basis ...

This is managed in the file:

/includes/modules/meta_tags.php

If you would like to customize this further, you can do so by copying this file to your templates and overrides directory and writing the way you would like it to work:

/includes/modules/your_template_dir/meta_tags.php

Thanks for that but, what part do i have to edit? There are loads of define statments for 'Description' and 'keywords' and all seem to point to SQL entries.

I need to have my product Catagories from being listed, everything ie product item values, can stay.

Find the case statement that is related to the page you want to build the meta tags differently ...

That is what you need to change ...

I want to change the global tags for all pages, not just a per page basis.
I'm guessing that this is not an easy thing to do.

All of the CASE statements are in the /includes/modules/meta_tags.php

You can change each and every one of them ...

I've had a look through the code and my Catagories do not appear in the meta_tags.php file for me to edit!

Could you post an URL for a page that you wish to change the meta tags on?

Thanks for this info..I was trying to do this and this made my day much better...I always find what I need here with a little searching.

To stop show your products categories in the keywords go to in includes/modules/meta_tags.php and find next lines :

// Get all top category names for use with web site keywords
$sql = "select cd.categories_name from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.parent_id = 0 and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and cd.language_id='" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' and c.categories_status=1";
$keywords_metatags = $db->Execute($sql);
while (!$keywords_metatags->EOF) {
$keywords_string_metatags .= $keywords_metatags->fields['categories_name'] . METATAGS_DIVIDER;
$keywords_metatags->MoveNext();
}
define('KEYWORDS', str_replace('"','',zen_clean_html($keywords_string_metatags) . CUSTOM_KEYWORDS));

Text who is bold delete it and you are remaing with this :

define('KEYWORDS', str_replace('"','',zen_clean_html($keywords_string_metatags) . CUSTOM_KEYWORDS));

. Look at my site to see what u looking for : www.softmrm.com

This will resolve your problem with products categories in keywords.

Anybody know how can i change description in meta tags??? My description is similar with my keywords :

<meta name="keywords" content="softmrm, download, utilities, windows,internet, software, application, shareware, freeware, antivirus ">

<meta name="description" content="Softmrm.com - softmrm, download, utilities, windows,internet, software, application, shareware, freeware, antivirus">

Ho can i change that ?
