removing product model from title bar

Hi,
I am trying to remove the product model, which appears for all products within square brackets, in the title bar.

in the product metatag section I have deselected "model", but this does not make a difference.

I have also gone to Catalog -> product types -> edit layout and deselected model for the metatags title, but this also doesn't work

example can be seen here

Any help would be much appreciated
thanks

admin panel/ catalog/ products & catalog/

1. Work your self down to an actual product you have listed
2. On the right hand side under Action notice the black circle
3. Click the (black circle) biohazard sign beside each product you will see this
   Mark What the Product's Meta Tag Title Should Include:
   Product Name:
   Yes No Title:
   Yes No Model:
   Yes No Price:
   Yes No Title/Tagline:
   Yes No

i'm having the same issue, wanting to remove the product model from title bar...

when i go to the meta tags for the product, Mark What the Product's Meta Tag Title Should Include - is set to 'no' for product model

i have also set the product type layout options Show Metatags Title Default - Product Model to 'no'

but it still shows up!

any ideas ?!?!

If you don't have actual keyword and title content for a given product, the other settings are ignored.

oooooh, ok i see. thanks :)

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Just to clarify, the problem was that my product metatags were not defined.
After adding metatag title, description, and keywords, the new settings work!

The site I'm working on has a lot of products. Without modifying each individual product is there a way to set a global option in which the model is removed from the title? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat.

Would also like to know if there is a quick way to add a tagline that applies to category page titles only.

OK I've found a solution to the OP. It does remove the product model from page title, but I'm no php coder, so this solution may have side effects that I'm not aware of.

In includes/module/metatags.php, line 279, there is this piece of code:

$meta_products_name = $product_info_metatags->fields['products_name'] . ' [' . $product_info_metatags->fields['products_model'] . ']';
```I deleted the later part of the code, so that it becomes:

$meta_products_name = $product_info_metatags->fields['products_name'] ;

Yes, that works globally, but since you're hacking out parts of the code, it has the side effect of removing all control over that feature via the admin. If you don't care about that, that's fine.

Thanks for the responses. I did amend the code mentioned to remove the Model number. I was just hoping there was some global setting in the admin panel that could be over ridden for reason DrByte mentions. I think this is okay though as we are using the model number to sync with the physical store front so we won't ever be using that. The only problem seems to be that sometimes people use the model number for google searches. This might be addressed in the future. Thanks again for the support.

**Configuration > Product Info >
Meta Tags - Include Product Price in Title
**
There are some othe parts of this forum that say it is in Catalog > Product Types but these do not work - I am not sure what these ones are for!!

@billmad,

Thanks for your post, exactly what I was looking for. The ZC admin has a setting for everything!

It's tricky b/c you've got to change settings in 2 places in the admin area (and I always forget myself!)

1. Configuration -> Product Info (2 lines about showing meta tag pieces in the title)
2. Catalog -> Product Types (edit the layout) Turn off what you don't want to have show

And then tweak with your custom meta tags using the black & white meta editor for each product/category.

HTH!
