Custom page template & metatag tip
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2002 4:24 pmSince it looks like interest in custom pages is heating up, I thought
I'd post a little tip regarding metatags.
In the Shopsite Help system -> Technical Information -> Customizing
ShopSite -> Custom Templates and Themes there's a link to a sample page
for "Al's Tools Product Template"
http://www.shopsite.com/help/5.0/en-US/ ... emplate.tx
t
Which will pretty much work out of the box. The More Info page section
that people are interested in is starts with the tag called
[-- DEFINE MORE_INFO_PAGE--]
and ends at
[-- END_DEFINE MORE_INFO_PAGE--]
In between those two tags is the code for a complete web page with
ShopSite's custom tags inserted. The two tags we're interested in are
[-- PRODUCT.ProductDescription --]
and
[-- PRODUCT.Name --]
These two tags can be embedded into the metatag section of your More
Info page, making the resulting pages more relevant for search engine
submission and people performing google searches.
Here's an example from our site:
[-- DEFINE MORE_INFO_PAGE--]
<html>
<head>
<title>FitterFirst : [-- PRODUCT.Name --]</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="description" content="[-- PRODUCT.ProductDescription --]
Fitterfirst is a place to buy ... etc.">
<meta name="keywords" content="[-- PRODUCT.Name --], fitness, etc...">
