    Default Customized Product (and Category) Meta Tags

    I'd like to customize meta tags on product pages so that they follow a custom sequence / display. The current sequence is something like:

    $product_name [$model] - $price: $business

    Then if I go into product meta tags and edit the "Meta Title" it changes to:

    $product_name $meta_tag_title [$model] - $price: $business

    What I would like to see is:

    $model [$product_name] $price - $meta_tag_title - $business

    I realize there is a limited number of characters to work with and can work with that. I assume this is done in meta_tags.php but I don't know which area to edit and the correct variables to make it happen. Thx

    If the title tag is not already too long, it appears to display the business name which I think is grabbed from the store configuration. I don't care so much about that as I do rearranging some of the other elements.

    $model [$product_name] $price - $meta_tag_title - $business

    OR

    $model [$product_name] $price - $meta_tag_title

    if the first option does not work.

    That information is grabbed by /includes/modules/meta_tags_php

    Make a copy of that file for your template

    I know of the meta_tags.php file but without knowing the zencart framework of how this is created it will take a great deal of time to sort out what affects what, how the variables are implemented, etc. Can you provide some direction, what I am looking for?

    Default Re: Customized Product (and Category) Meta Tags

    okay I figured it out, beginning around line 214 in meta_tags.php. I used something like the following, stripping out some square brackets, dash and spaces along the way:

    // CUSTOM //

    $meta_products_price = ($product_info_metatags->fields['metatags_price_status'] == '1' ? SECONDARY_SECTION . ($product_info_metatags->fields['products_price_sorter'] > 0 ? $currencies- >display_price($product_info_metatags->fields['products_price_sorter'], zen_get_tax_rate($product_info_metatags->fields['products_tax_class_id'])) : SECONDARY_SECTION . META_TAG_PRODUCTS_PRI CE_IS_FREE_TEXT) : '');

    $meta_products_name .= ($product_info_metatags->fields['metatags_model_status'] == '1' ? '' . $product_info_metatags->fields['products_model'] . '' : '');
    if (zen_check_show_prices() == true) {
    $meta_products_price = "$meta_products_price";
    $meta_products_price = $content = str_replace('-', '',$meta_products_price);
    $meta_products_price = $content = str_replace(' ', '',$meta_products_price);
    $meta_products_name .= " [$meta_products_price] ";
    }
    $meta_products_name .= ($product_info_metatags->fields['metatags_products_name_status'] == '1' ? $product_info_metatags->fields['products_name'] : '');
    $meta_products_name .= ($product_info_metatags->fields['metatags_title_tagline_status'] == '1' ? PRIMARY_SECTION . TITLE . TAGLINE : '');

    // END CUSTOM //

    It could probably be more efficient but it works.
