Hey!

Thought i would share a neat dealers meta description fix.

On dealers page i use the field "about_me" so they can tell us about their site and promote them self.
So how can i use this field as meta description ?

Easy!

Some things maybe different for you but i think you can figure it out after reading this guide.
Also you can change "about_me" to any dealer field you want.

Go to:
templates/YOURTEMPLATE/tpl/header.tpl

Find

<meta name="description" content="{$pageInfo.meta_description}" />

Replace with

<meta name="description" content="{$pageInfo.meta_description}{$account.about_me}" />

do you know how to have the listing description served as meta description? becouse it is not.
<meta content="" name="description">
<meta content="" name="Keywords">

that apears when i view a listing instead of catching the listing description as it should?

Go to your category, edit and there you have meta description and the works.

i talk about listings and not categories. if i go to category, i can select the field description to be used as meta description for listing but my selection can't be saved?

@Petrache Nicolae I just had the same problem and after creating a ticket, it got fixed sap.


Do you also have a fix for the dealers meta title? At the moment all dealers get the same meta title and meta description.

You are right. Duplicate meta discription.
