Thread: Category Meta Tags

Hello.

I have a problem with our category meta tags. When going to category page, the meta tags used are those set on AppConfig parameters. But we want to display the meta tags for Keyword and Description from those we set in the categories' Search Engine tab.

I'm confused because when going to product pages, the description and keywords meta tags it used are those of the products.

Is this the way the meta tags should work on the category pages? From what I understand, The pages will use the default from AppConfig when the meta tags are empty, but this is not what we're seeing on the category pages.

If the category pages shows the AppConfig meta tags, may I know how to modify it so that it will use those assigned in each category?

We're using ASPDNSF v9.

Thanks.

We have the same problem as well, Running on v9 too

A fix, or some feedback from a ASPDNSF rep would be cool

Mine is working out of the box. Can you make sure you have the following lines in {root}/EntityHelper/EntityMgr.xml.config file?

Hi.

I found a workaround for my problem. On the showcategory.aspx.cs, I added SEKeywords = <something> and SEDescription = <something> in loading the page.
This works fine on our site.

I haven't tried Sir Alfred's solution, let me try that.

                    </xsl:copy>

what could be wrong,
can you please help me with a fix for this issue.

thanks

Have you tried resetting the IIS or recycling the Application pool?
I used this when I extracted the SEAltText and my changes didn't appear until I reset the IIS on my local, and recycled the Application Pool in our server.

i actually enable Cache menu,
once i disabled it, SE Titles for Categories are working fine.

thanks for your response.

I have the same problem on www.speelgoedenmeer.nl

No caching, recycled AppPool, restarted IIS, untouched EntityMgr.xml.config

Any suggestions?

This is still not working after switching to 9.3.0.0
Perhaps I should open a ticket for this?

Curious to see if you were able to resolve this on your Storefront installation. Our team just pushed out 9.3 and we have lost all of the search fields in the template as well.

The data is still visible in admin it just isn't pulling to the published pages.

Site is at http://www.escosigns.com.

If you can post back what your resolution was it would be greatly appreciated.
