Using Merchant longest description for the META description tag

Submitted by speak2daryl on Tue, 2012-04-03 21:16 in Price Tapestry

Hi David,

I have implemented node 2228 to add the product description to the META description tag, the description used for this tag is from the cheapest merchant, my cheapest merchants often provide a really short description (often just two words). I have implemented a mod to override these short descriptions on the product pages with the longest description from the merchants.

Is the any way doing a similar mod to the META description tag to display the longest description from the merchants?

Thanks

Daryl

Hello Daryl, Sure, in place

Hello Daryl,

Sure, in place of the suggested modification:

$header["meta"]["description"] = htmlentities($product["products"][0]["description"],ENT_QUOTES,$config_charset);

...have a go with:

$md = "";

foreach($product["products"] as $p)

{

  if (strlen($p["description"]) > strlen($md))

  {

    $md = $p["description"];

  }

}

$header["meta"]["description"] = htmlentities($md,ENT_QUOTES,$config_charset);

Cheers,
David.
