Tag Description as Short Description in product listing. Hello All, I have installed in my site Header Tags SEO v3.1.8 and table products_description has a field "products_head_desc_tag" so I thought it would be I great idea to use that field as the short description to be used in product listing. This way in product listing pages, you have now your product name/title and a short description just below it. After reading the installation of Product Description 1.3 this is what I did: Opened catalog/index.php and added "pd.products_head_desc_tag, " after $listing_sql = "select " . $select_column_list . " p.products_id, so all your lines that starts now with: $listing_sql = "select " . $select_column_list . " p.products_id, pd.products_head_desc_tag, ... and the rest of the query continues with no more changes. Then opened catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php and replace this code: case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME': $lc_align = ''; if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) { $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a>'; } else { $lc_text = ' <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a> '; } break; with this: case 'PRODUCT_LIST_NAME': $lc_align = ''; if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) { $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'manufacturers_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . '&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '"><b>' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a></b><br>' . $listing['products_head_desc_tag'] . '</b>'; } else { $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '"><b>' . $listing['products_name'] . '</a></b><br>' . $listing['products_head_desc_tag'] . '</b>';} break; All credits to developer of Header Tags SEO and Product Description 1.3 contribs Enjoy!

Yahoo and MSN sitemaps? Hello Jack, first of all, thank you and Chemo for this great contribution! I installed it today with no hassles. Regarding Yahoo and MSN search engines, I have only seen one yahoo contribution with almost no questions in its forum and nothing about MSN. Is it because those engines rely on the google version? or they do not use sitemaps as much as google? What do you suggest to have my site properly crawl by these 2? My site is new and have not sell anything yet so I have the time now to maintain manually sitemaps if necessary. best regards,

Jack, thank you. I finally was able to make it work. This is the part of sitemonitor_functions.php that cause me the problem: function WriteFile($filename, $files) { $fpOut = fopen($filename, "w"); if (! $fpOut) { echo 'Failed to open file '.$filename; exit; } because sitemonitor_reference.php did not exist and the page had not permissions to write into my admin folder. So I changed the permissions on the admin folder to 777, run the Update to create the reference file for the first time and then change back the permissions on the folder and sitemonitor files to 755. Now it's working great. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks again for this great contribution.

I changed group and user of sitemonitor_functions.php from root to apache which is the user and group the httpd daemon runs on and I still have the same error. Permissions of sitemonitor_functions.php and functions folder were set to 777. httpd were restarted. php.ini shows safe_mode = off Again same error: [Tue Nov 03 07:26:25 2009] [error] [client 65.74.209.129] PHP Warning: fopen(sitemonitor_reference.php) [<a href='function.fopen'>f unction.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sitemonitor_f unctions.php on line 308, referer: http://www.mysite.com/admin/sitemonitor_admin.php
