[PRO]

mmphis, I dont see how this hack could conflict

[flahsfinder]

Does it work with the new version 1.1.8?

Does it work with the new version 1.1.8?

As I kept the file changes, it is still working in 1.1.8

[PRO]

I am using it with 1.1.8

I just paste the code into the new files.

[chintan]

Yes, Its working fine with Joomla 1.5.10 VM 1.1.7

@ Forrest,

Why "by default" I am getting following keywords on every product page?
Keywords: product, products, buy, top, best, value, store, shop, new, used, buy product, purchase products.

Is there any logic behind it to do so?

Regards,
Chintan

No, not really. Just set up as an example. Edit your metadata tabs on product and category to alter accordingly.

is possible to make metadata available for manufacturers?

Hi,

I have did what You said to install the meta tag system. It works ok but i`ve got troubles with some signs in words. I use polish signs like ó,ż,ł and the auto metatag puts some bush instead of those letters. When i put the same words by manual, it is all ok. What can i make to fix this problem?

This works for the newest virtuemart and joomla?

[Joso]

Hi to all, I am new to virtuemart and am interested autogen metadata metatag , but I did not understand how one should install autogen, whether manually or as a normal application to joomla.

Could you explain this point.

Hy Forrest,

thanks a lot for you hack it's very useful.

I have a question about the canonical...

If I put the canonical I have in all the pages the canonical inserted... the canonical page too... is there any way to have something like this?

site.com/category  (NO link canonical this is the main page)
site.com/category?dkd.. (link canonical)
site.com/category?keywod.. (link canonical)

adding the canonical in your hack I will have it on the 3 pages.


I hope to receive an answer.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Davide

Well, Google states there is not conflict in doing this, but if you still want to peruse, if I were you I would open up my hack on the category and detail pages (html folder), and include a URL check where the canonical tag is being called out to be inserted into the head. A simple PHP check of the URL vs the Canonical to decipher whether the canonical should be inserted would work just fine.

[m.davide82]

How can I do this? I'm not a PHP expert...

[lindapowers]

this should be added in next release, all the code is done and it's a great addon.

Please make the hack for 1.1.8

[Forrest]

lindapowers, OK! I'll get to it sooner than later hopefully.
