ShopSite Product Upload Fields - Title Texts

Postby lbohen » Mon Mar 19, 2012 4:33 am

Which ShopSite upload fields control the following title text portions of the page below:

1. The text that appears when you hover the mouse pointer over a browser horizontal tab.

2. The product title text in the body of the More Information Text page.

3. Can these texts be independently controlled? I.E. Can they be different?

I'm having a hard time picturing exactly what you are asking about. What browser are you using when you see the tab? Is it the tab in the browser itself or a tab on the page that is open in the browser?

Please give a link to a page where I can see what you are asking about.

Jim; Here's an example of an IE browser tab.

When I hover my mouse pointer over the "Why Nations Fail" tab it expands and states "Why Nations Fail - Daron Acemoglu & James Robinson - unabridged compact discs" with the page's URL address.

I would like to have the text in the browser tab different than the products title ("Why Nations Fail - Daron Acemoglu & James Robinson - unabridged compact discs") in the MIT body text.

You are using a custom template so you would have to change the template to make a change to the functionality.
In one of the ShopSite templates, 3Column-Product.sst, in the [-- Define More_Info_Page --] section the code for the title that displays in the browser tab is laid out like this
Code: Select all
<title>[-- IF PRODUCT.MoreInformationTitle --][-- PRODUCT.MoreInformationTitle --]</title>[-- ELSE --][-- PRODUCT.Name REMOVE_HTML --]</title>[-- END_IF --]

So it first checks to see if there is anything in the product field "More Info Title:" and if there is a value then it uses that, otherwise it uses the product name.

You would need to check your custom template and see if similar code is in it. The field "More Info Title" was added in version 8.1 so unless your template is way old, it could have used the tag [-- PRODUCT.MoreInformationTitle --] as the page title for the browser tab.

Also check that you have something in the Product field "More Info Title" or the Product name would still be used if the template has the same code as above.
