Is there a way to get unique Meta Titles and Meta Descriptions for Category pages?
Thanks, Chris
Thanks David - I was hoping this would change the tag but that has stayed the same - is there a way of using this method to update the tag for the page to what I define in the categorymeta folder?
Thanks, Chris
Hi Chris,
Did you mean to set a custom title per category also? That's no problem, firstly with the title added to the included file e.g.
<?php
$header["meta"]["description"] = "Category meta description";
$header["meta"]["keywords"] = "category, meta, keywords";
$header["title"] = "Category Title";
?>
And then in search.php look for the following code at line 503:
$header["title"] = $q;
...and REPLACE with:
if (!isset($header["title"])) $header["title"] = $q;
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

Hi Chris,
You could use a method almost identical to the Unique category description mod - create a folder "categorymeta/" containing .php files exactly matching the category name e.g.
categorymeta/Category One.php
categorymeta/Category Two.php
...containing as follows:
<?php
$header["meta"]["description"] = "Category meta description";
$header["meta"]["keywords"] = "category, meta, keywords";
?>
Then in search.php look for the following code at line 350:
case "category":
...and REPLACE with:
case "category":
if ($page==1)
{
$filename = "categorymeta/".$parts[1].".php";
if (file_exists($filename))
{
require($filename);
}
}
If you'd prefer to have the description and keywords on every page, perhaps resolved with de-duplication as per the title just let me know...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
