HEAD Tag Content, Meta Tags and Tokens?

[HGordon]

Is there a way to create a dynamic META tag in the HEAD Tag content using something like:

<meta name="keywords" content="some custom product field token">
<meta name="description" content="product description token">

Is there a way to create a dynamic META tag in the HEAD Tag content using something like:

<meta name="keywords" content="some custom product field token">
<meta name="description" content="product description token">

For products, you could do

<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL 
l.settings:product:customfield_values:customfields:meta_keywords">
<meta name="keywords" 
content="&mvt:product:customfield_values:customfields:meta_keywords;">
</mvt:if>

but categories don't have custom fields. A better solution is to use either latu or ads meta tags module that will automatically insert your category header and product descriptions as the meta description and keyword fields while stripping out html, truncating to a specific character length, etc. hth

I expanded on that in my Global Header Tags so that it displays a generic tag for pages without the Meta Tag present (Storefront etc...).

<mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:product:customfield_values:customfields:meta_keywords">
<META NAME="Keywords" CONTENT="my tags, etc, etc, etc">
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="NOT ISNULL l.settings:product:customfield_values:customfields:meta_keywords">
<meta name="keywords" 
content="&mvt:product:customfield_values:customfields:meta_keywords;">
</mvt:if>

If you reformat the html in Miva 5 yourself, could format the html for the category and product display pages to look like this:

<title>&mvt:category:name;</title>
<meta name="description" content="&mvt:product:descrip;" />
<meta name="keywords" content="&mvt:product:name;" />

That will at least set it up so you can pick and choose what the Title, Meta Desc. and Meta Keywords tags will display for each category and you can do the same thing for the product pages.

Not sure if that was what you meant, but we do that.

Just saw that it automatically overwrote the code there and put the smiley face in, but that is supposed to be the code that draws up the description and the product name.

Use the # icon in the edit bar to surround your code so that doesnt happen.

<title>&mvt:category:name;</title>
<meta name="description" content="&mvtroduct:descrip;" />
<meta name="keywords" content="&mvtroduct:name;" />
