Hi,

You can do this now, here's an example:

Use <meta content="{tag_productmetadescription}" name="description" /> in the Individual Product - Large layout for products

and <meta content="{tag_description}" name="description" /> in the Overall Layout.

When accessing the detail view (individual product - large) of any product from a specific catalogue, you'll see the respective product's description, while when accessing the catalogue view, where all products are displayed with the individual product - small layout, the catalogue description will be used.

Kind Regards,

Alex Pavelescu

Hi Liam

Sorry to dredge up old topics but I couldn't seem to find the best answer. Before individual product meta, you were not able to have both catalogue and product with unique meta data as it would end up doubling up meta descriptions. Are you able to have a unique title and description for both catalogue and title using this method? If so, what steps do you need to take to achieve this? I've added the specific tags to my large product view, but how am I able to display different meta description content on my catalog page?

Cheers!

The blog, and you can subscribe to the RSS feed.

status.businescatalyst.com is also a thing you should follow as well.

hmmm...does BC have some kind of newsletter letting Partners know about new features that I could sign up for?

Its seems as if I need to put together both Blog information and Forum information to get final picture on the update. Instead of getting ALL the features in one email or one place.

Thanks for the help Liam.

People have been posting about it on the forums for about a month.

This is the help guide for anyone: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/enable-links-external-domain-names.html

I have also reached out to the team to see if they can write a blog post outlining the feature in more detail to help people out to understand it.

March/April/May releases do not mention Domain redirection towards Newsletters.

All my newsletters I did for June,July, August did not need whitelisting. Yet this month they do.

That is why I'm confused.

Re: R190 System Update - Scheduled to go live September 10th, 2013

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:05:52 GMT

can you please provide links for those updates?

Also, why did it only go live today? August newsletter I did, did not trigger the redirect!!!??

Re: R190 System Update - Scheduled to go live September 10th, 2013

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 22:03:46 GMT

Because that was a few releases ago and documented on the blog before and after the release.

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 21:40:50 GMT

WHY is Domain Whitelisting for Newsletters NOT on this list?????????

Do you guys have any idea why you are doing these updates or you just throw them together and not let us know about them? Neither blog nor this post mentions it.

Hey Liam,

Try including

<head>

</head>

in the Overall layout (called page_content.html) in the Develop tab or over FTP, and remove it from the Catalog layout.

That should render the current catalog description.

Let me know if you get it working like this.

Hi Liam, I was using that new dropdown section but the Meta Description wasn't saving. I did 10 yesterday and today some were missing which I'd definitely done yesterday. (Maybe it's something to do with onesaas which exports and reimports the products to sync with our accounting and inventory system?)

To be on the safe side I'm now copying the data from meta description into a custom 1 field in case it vanished again i can recopy and paste it back and not loose hours of rewriting etc.

Plus I found the tag to show the more options-keywords on the pages too.

So what i've learnt (in case anyone else is as lost as me..)

Don't touch product page properties. (I'm going to go through and delete all mine)
On the product large layout page have:

<html>

<head>

<title>{tag_productmetatitle}</title>

</head>

(Does that sound good Liam?)

Do not touch the page properties. Use the new direct page title and description fields directly on your product. You should see that new dropdown section.

In tersm of the source of your large product html it will add tat html in there but on the rendered page you will notice it is moved into the head.

Hi Liam,

Thank you for replying.

I have the following in the large layout:

<head>

<title>{tag_productmetatitle}</title>

</head>

and when I click on page properties of an actual item it adds to the html:

<html>

<head>

<title>the page title i use in the pop up box</title>

</head>

You do not have the module tag in there and that placed in the large product layout as outline by the BC team. Have you done that?

Hi,

Has anyone else noticed that the SEO Metadata Product Meta Description field

isn't working?

Yesterday I updated 10 products on our website myself and now all the data I had definitely put into Product Meta Description: is missing.

We also use the page properties description field - <meta content="our content in here etc" name="Description" />

Could that be causing an error? I was told by support I could use the SEO Metadata AND the page properties fields without any errors.

Any ideas?

Hi Florin

<head>

</head>

In the Catalog layout causes the og description to render more then once for some reason.

Also you can not set a title of a catalog at this time. {tag_name} renders a hamtl link and there is no {tag_name_nolinkl} currently for catalogs.

A lot of people use the catalog description to include html as well and you can not use this in this case for the above example either.

Suggestions.

1. Include SEO fields for catalog as you have products with two new tags

2. Allow _nolink on catalog name

3. Offer tag option to have plain text description (if not doing option 1)

Thanks

Easiest way I see is being able to tick one of the urls that are rendered at the top.

Then your end you simply add the conical into the head on that url.

We are announcing a new Business Catalyst release, scheduled to go live on Tuesday, September 10th.

Please refer to our blog post for an overview of all major changes.

In this release, we're introducing the ability to set metadata for products, similar to the previous feature we've done for blogs.

To show the Products Meta description, change the HTML for the Individual Product Large Layout to include the corresponding tags in the <head> tag. You can use {tag_productmetatitle} and {tag_productmetadescription} to output the product title and meta description, and they can be used for other meta properties as well.

Here's a code snippet:

<html>

<head>

<title>{tag_productmetatitle}</title>

</head>

<body>

...... rest of the product template code..........

</body>

</html>

To populate the Meta description for your products, you can use the product import - we've updated the export and the import files with a Product Meta Description column, it's the last column in the import template file.

Note: You still need to import all the product information (fill in all the rows and columns) even if only wanting to update the Product Meta Description.
