Hi david
Using latest version and i want to change the meta title on the brands,category and merchant.
ie not brand:(brand name) but Latest products from (brand name)
Is it possible, I think I did it on an older site, cannot find any record though.
regards
Brent
Hi David
That works great, one question, could the titles be different for each area, brands, category and merchant?

Hi,
You could use a switch() construct against $parts[0], which holds "merchant", "category" or "brand" - have a go with:
if (isset($parts[1]))
{
switch($parts[0])
{
case "merchant":
$header["title"] = "Latest products from merchant ".$parts[1];
break;
case "category":
$header["title"] = "Latest products from category ".$parts[1];
break;
case "brand":
$header["title"] = "Latest products from brand ".$parts[1];
break;
}
}
else
{
$header["title"] = $q;
}Cheers,
David.

I was looking to change this so found this topic, let's make it complete :) You also want Meta descriptions.
Adjust both title's & description to your own preferences.
just replace
$header["title"] = $q;for
// custom titles
if (isset($parts[1]))
{
switch($parts[0])
{
case "merchant":
$header["title"] = "Prices from ".$parts[1]. " | Online shopping";
$header["meta"]["description"] = "Compare prices from ".$parts[1]." | All products at ".$parts[1]." online at our website!";
break;
case "category":
$header["title"] = "Compare prices of ".$parts[1]. " | At our website";
$header["meta"]["description"] = "Find prices of ".$parts[1]." products online. Compare prices ".$parts[1]." online at our website!";
break;
case "brand":
$header["title"] = "Compare".$parts[1]. " product prices | Our Website";
$header["meta"]["description"] = "Find and compare ".$parts[1]." products and prices. Stop looking for ".$parts[1]." products you will find them here!";
break;
}
}
else
{
$header["title"] = $q;
}
// end custom titelsWelcome to the forum, MrHolland!
Cheers,
David.

Hi David
Is it possible to have a similar title for search results instead of just the search term, it would make it look better in search results.
regards
Brent
Hello Brent,
Sure - in the example above, the second to last line generates the title for the default (keyword search) case:
$header["title"] = $q;...so to prefix this as required, REPLACE with:
$header["title"] = "Search results for ".$q;Or for text after the keyword(s):
$header["title"] = $q." search results";...or both before and after:
$header["title"] = "Text before ".$q." text after";(note that search.php will automatically append page number from page 2 onwards, and sort order in operation if not default to avoid duplicate titles)
Cheers,
David.

Hello Brent,
Sure - if you edit search.php and look for the following code at line 503:
$header["title"] = $q;...and REPLACE with:
if (isset($parts[1])){
$header["title"] = "Latest products from ".$parts[1];
}
else
{
$header["title"] = $q;
}
Cheers,
David.
