How can I display Meta Description on Product page?

Everything looks good now, thanks!

Whoops, yea the category.php one

It was like that when I found it, honest!

LOL...thanks for that. Definitely much cleaner.

2. FIND:

Code: Select all

'model'   => $result['model'],

3. AFTER, ADD:

Code: Select all

'meta_description'   => $result['meta_description'],

4. EDIT: catalog/view/....../product/category.tpl

5. FIND:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($products[$j]['rating']) { ?>
        <img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/stars_<?php echo $products[$j]['rating'] . '.png'; ?>" alt="<?php echo $products[$j]['stars']; ?>" />
<?php } ?>

6. AFTER, ADD:

Code: Select all

<?php if ($products[$j]['meta_description']) { ?>
        <?php echo $products[$j]['meta_description']; ?>"
<?php } ?>

I wanted to do this with my own site but cannot find the line stated in step 1 so i will not try any further before i wreck it.

Is there a vqMod for this, does anybody know?

I'm using it in my theme and don't want to change the system files.
Thnx,
Tim

Hello,

Could you please help me? I would like to use "Meta Tag Description" as additional description field (pop-up text) for the products on a home page in a "Featured" module. So, for every featured product I could display the Meta Tag Description content, which I would set in a product info in the admin panel. I am working with OpenCart 1.5.2.1

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone,

I know this is an ancient thread but I wanted to do this on a new site using v1.5.6

So I made a vqmod that you can download for free here:

Hope you find it useful!

Any body with a idea how to get this to work in OC2??
