I am still evaluating ablecommerce. Can someone offer any more detail or thoughts on the benefit of the "html head" when creating a product. Where does this info show up? Should I simply put the product description in there?? Also regarding keywords. I could put some keywords in there however I might have 1000 products with the same keyword. Wondering if this will be beneficial? or perhaps viewed as spam? Can people offer any thoughts based on past experience?
Thanks
Chris

Re: Product html head and keywords
HTML Head is for information you want to add to your page's section for example to include some javascript or to add some meta keywords etc. Similarly keywords are for store search. You can put keywords related to products in their keywords section and then search could take care of those keywords when searching. Most probably you want to have different key word information for products so that search could narrow more results.
Code: Select all
<Head></Head>

I've been wondering the same thing. When I place something in the HTML HEAD area, it shows up on the page in a strange place. This is ootb. ???

Re: Product html head and keywords
The text in that box should have the tags around it- they aren't generated dynamically. You need to have
<meta name="keywords" content="whatever, keywords"/>
Even though the title tag should be in an html head, you can't put it in that box unless you want to have duplicate title tags if you don't do extra coding on pages to suppress the default one that the page generates.

Re: Product html head and keywords
Thanks Judy. That makes sense now.
Re: Product html head and keywords
When I look at one of my pages, the Title tag is in the html head section. Can you explain what you meant by "the title tag should be in an html head"?jmestep wrote: Even though the title tag should be in an html head, you can't put it in that box unless you want to have duplicate title tags if you don't do extra coding on pages to suppress the default one that the page generates.
Re: Product html head and keywords
Product page being generated automatically contains the title tag so Judy is saying that if you put another title tag in HTML Head section then it will cause two title tags in product page. For testing edit some product and then put following in HTML Head section of product and then view source of you product page in browser you will see two title tags there
Code: Select all
<title>Duplicate</title>Re: Product html head and keywords
I understand now. If you want to change the product's default page title, you shouldn't use that box for it. Instead, you should do something like this post (Amending default product page title): viewtopic.php?f=42&t=11243.
Thanks Mazhar.
