Thread: How Can We remove our skus from showing in search results and reciepts

We want to remove the sku code from our search results and reciepts does anyone no how to do this or have done this before

I was just getting ready to look into this exact issue. I noticed in our Googles Webmaster Tools > Keywords there are a couple of terms that shouldn't be there. They include the words "price", "policy", "stock", "weight", "quantity", and "sku".

I can't get rid of all of them, but I can get rid of some of them. I'm hoping to have it finished today. I'll post what I find out.

What I'm doing won't take care of the SKU in the reciepts though. That will be a different XmlPackage.

Just to be sure, by search I'm assuming you mean Google, Bing etc...

If so, what you need to do is edit the Display Format Xml Packages that you use. We use the product.VariantsInGrid.xml.config. You can figure out which ones you are using by looking at the Add/Edit Product page admin for a given product.

I'll use the product.VariantsInGrid.xml.config file as an example though.

Starting at line 245 you find the following (I've reformatted it for easier reading, it may look slightly different to you)

Code:

                      <tr>
                          <td>
                            <font class="SmallGridText"><xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StringResource('showproduct.aspx.21', $LocaleSetting)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
                            <xsl:value-of select="concat($pSKU, skusuffix)" />
                            </font>
                          </td>
                        </tr>
                      
                        <xsl:if test="$vDescription!=''">
                          <tr>
                            <td>
                              <xsl:value-of select="$vDescription" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
                            </td>
                          </tr>
                        </xsl:if>
                        <xsl:if test="Weight!=''">
                          <tr>
                            <td>
                              <font class="SmallGridText"><xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StringResource('showproduct.aspx.24', $LocaleSetting)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
                              <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:FormatDecimal(Weight, 2)" />
                              </font>
                            </td>
                          </tr>
                        </xsl:if>
                        <xsl:if test="Dimensions!=''">
                          <tr>
                            <td>
                              <font class="SmallGridText">
                                <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:StringResource('showproduct.aspx.23', $LocaleSetting)" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
                                <xsl:value-of select="Dimensions" />
                              </font>
                            </td>
                          </tr>
                        </xsl:if>

I have the exact same stupid problem... the sucky part is that I had ecommerce working but analytics was broke. I got analytics fixed and the fix broke ecommerce.

With Google Analytics read through the manual to get it all setup correctly.

ASPDNSF Ver 7 Google Analytics
ASPDNSF Ver ML8 Google Analytics
ASPDNSF Ver MSx(Multistore) Google Analytics

Hope thet it helps. Just click on the version you are currently running and it will guide you through.
