vm-bug ? no metadata with/in standard manufacturer details layout

[slammy]

Hi all,

I don´t know if this is 100% related to virtuemart, maybe it´s Joomla - I don´t know, sorry when I am wrong.
I am currently using Joom 2.5.4 and vm 2.0.7_d.

I´am facing the following problem:

I have some menuelinks to differrent virtuemart manufacturer detailed layout pages and I want to use the metadata option in the menuelink-configuration. If I use them and place keywords and descriptions there , they do not show up and instead of them, the system uses the global configurated metakeys and descriptions from joomla system.

Does anyone else have this problem too or do I have to configure something special to use this? I appreciate any help, thank you.
regards slam

hi, just updated first to vm 2.0.8 and then 2.0.8_a with joomla 2.5.6. The problem still occurs. Am I am the only one who have this problem? Does no else one uses the manufacturer details layout and is in the need of meta keys and description?

I think Joomla is responsible for this, because it happens with pure Joomla article links, too. Perhaps you will find some information about that in the Joomla forums or documentation.
I just tried to add a description meta tag to a manufacturer's description manually, but apparently Joomla strips it. Maybe this can be configured somewhere in Joomla.

...perhaps a Joomla extension like this can solve your problem: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/meta-data/17926
