Re: Keywords on Product page? (ie: add a tag cloud sidebox)

The "best" way to get your keywords on your Product pages ... is to "use" those keywords strategically in your product description. Search engines prefer the use of keywords in 'natural content' far better than just dumping a bunch of keyword spam someplace on the page.

ah no, I mean how do I display the specified keywords as a list on the product page, kind of a tag cloud for that product. Get me?

I'll grab a screen...

Re: Keywords on Product page? (ie: add a tag cloud sidebox)

If it is just for display purposes you could create a simple sidebox that showed the Keywords Meta Tag for the product and then set the tag for each one.

Alternatively, someone created a tag cloud mod discussed here...

...but it looks like it never made it out of beta. Might do what you need though.

Regards,
Christian.

Re: Keywords on Product page? (ie: add a tag cloud sidebox)

I simply want to display the keywords on the product page as a list (see the screenshot), that are specified to a product via the admin panel.

Is that possible? How?

Many thanks

Re: Keywords on Product page? (ie: add a tag cloud sidebox)

I don't believe this is possible using standard Zen Cart functionality. The two options that I can think of are in my post above, creating a custom sidebox to display the Keywords Meta Tag or using something like the tag cloud mod.

Christian.

Custom sidebox? You mean I should hire someone to do that?

Thanks

If you are unable to do it yourself and you can afford it and it is worthwhile to your business to have that feature then yes, hire someone to create it.
