I am sure this is a simple question. I am running VM 1.1.7 in Joomla 1.5.15. Which download is correct for my environment? Read through but do not see any guidance

VM 1.1.6 Joomla! 1.5.22
For Categories - HACK works.
For the Products - is not works, i.e. does not Save the made changes. If handles to bring in Database - all OK.
Help to correct.
Thanks.

flash, are you saying it does NOT save to database?

HACK For the Products - does NOT save to database!
(For Categories - save to database)

[BanquetTables.pro]

did you run the sql file?

[Margaret]

what about SEF URLs like here http://www.artio.net/e-shop/joomsef/joomsef-bundles/virtuemart-seo-bundle-joomsef-3-virtuemart-extension?gclid=CMqG096Yl6kCFQod4Qodrz9KtQ?
Is this feature supported or it will be avaliable in the future?
is this hack compatible with this extension? (meta data from this hack and sef url from the extension)
how i can access admin panel metadata tab?

Yes! I run the sql file!
For Categories - save to database!
For the Products - does NOT save to database! If handles to bring in Database - all OK.

What does this text mean?
subject` char(1) NULL default 'N'
no_email_collection` char(1) NULL default 'N'

[BanquetTables.pro]

i have no idea what that means

@flahsfinder: Please see this previous dialogue. I bet your sql table entry does not have an mid set to "1". Not sure why, but this seems to happen for a few folks from time to time.

@Margaret: yes, this will work with SEF extensions, as long as you turn off the metadata section of the sef extension. This hack hs nothing to do with SEF, but some SEF programs have metadata capacities which may overwrite my hack's output.

@Rookie232: I have not updated the hack for 1.17, but you can easily take my hack additions and alterations for the latest version I offer, and move over to the 1.17 core files. Everything is clearly commented.

For the Products - does NOT save to database! If handles to bring in Database - all OK. (HACK Does not work.)

Joomla 1.5.22 + SEO Patch

Sorry for my English.

I am just not following you to well flashfinder. I understand that the hack is not working for products... and is not saving to the database. The mid issue is the only thing that has been brought to my attention as an issue in this regard.

Thanks for an excellent mod. I saw that people were looking for microformat meta tags (e.g. requested by Facebook), so I added some quick and dirty (I did not bother to include any settings opportunities, you have to edit the fb-id before using it) rows that solves this to  shop.product_details.php, right below the end of the original hack (about line 565):

Code:

/* BEGIN HACK FB METADATA FOR PRODUCT DETAILS PAGE */
function MetaProp($name, $content){
$return = '<meta property="'.strtolower($name).'" content="'.$content.'" />';
return $return;
}
$product_full_image = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/'.$db_product->f("product_full_image");
$product_store_url = $sess->url( URL.'index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id='.$product_id, true );
$document->addCustomTag( '<!-- BOF FB tags. -->' );
$document->addCustomTag(MetaProp("og:title",$product_name));          # product name
$document->addCustomTag(MetaProp("og:type","product"));               # hard coded "product"
$document->addCustomTag(MetaProp("og:url",$product_store_url));       # full product detail page url
$document->addCustomTag(MetaProp("og:image",$product_full_image));    # full product image url
$document->addCustomTag(MetaProp("og:site_name",$vendor_store_name)); # store name
$document->addCustomTag(MetaProp("fb:admins","7007007007"));          # your stores (or your own) fb-id goes here
$document->addCustomTag( '<!-- EOF FB tags. -->' );
/* END HACK FB METADATA FOR PRODUCT DETAILS PAGE */

Thanks again :-)
