META tags

META tags

by Copper - Member - 06:49PM, Apr 19, 2007

How would I go about making separate META tags and page titles for each page? I’m getting the same tags on every page.

Thanks.

Product-Foo is just a name I came up with to illustrate the title of product page. --- Dan Google Base Feed http://tools.shopifyconsulting.com My Shop http://www.xtremechargers.com

In the section for “front page information” , under “Meta Relevance” it said “No terms. Site needs Meta Description.” I had a look in my admin, in Theme.Liquid, but was not sure what to look for. What would a Meta Description look like ? And where is it usually placed ? Thanks a lot, Mickmac

The meta description is usually a text string that gives a description of the site. It would look like this. `<meta name="description" content="Description goes here" />` --- Dan Google Base Feed http://tools.shopifyconsulting.com My Shop http://www.xtremechargers.com

I wonder why that report on my site said ” No terms.Site needs Meta Description” ? What would happen if I added another one, would that cause problems ? Mickmac

I use HTML in my description…or I guess textile is putting formatted text into the db for my description, so when I use {{ product.description }} in the meta, I get broken html and some browsers dont render correctly. So how do I de-textile-ify my description so I can use it in the meta? B. I thought it was natural to use my {{ product.tags }} in the keywords meta, but they come out as a single string. How do I generate a comma delimited list from {{ product.tags }}? tia, dan --- — http://www.pavitracreations.com

See this: http://www.pavitracreations.com/collections/all/products/white-cotton-silver-stripe-top as an example. The last part of the description is showing at the top of the page, and if you view source, you’ll see all of the html in the meta. Thanks again… dan --- — http://www.pavitracreations.com
