    Coding errors - how can i make this work?

    Hi.

    I have changed the code in act_primary to try and generate the product descriptions in the meta description tag instead of doing each one manually as there are thousands of products.

    This now produces 2,500 coding errors and nothing appears in the description tags - see code below.

    Can you help please?



    <head>
    <title><actinic:block php="true" >echo strip_tags('<actinic:variable name="PageTitle" />');</actinic:block></title>
    <meta name="description" content="<actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" />" />

    You're getting coding errors because you are using the ProductDescription variable out of context.

    Wrap the product description with the following blocks: (only use this if you have one product on the section page)
    PHP Code:
    <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionHasVisibleProduct%22%20%2f%3e" >
         <    actinic:block type="ProductList" >
           <    actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" />
         </    actinic:block>
    </    actinic:block>

      Hi Rob.

      Thanks for your help.
      I do have one product per section, yes.

      How do I apply your code to mine below, sorry to be thick.

        Your meta description should look like:
        PHP Code:


        <meta name="description" content="<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionHasVisibleProduct%22%20%2f%3e" ><actinic:block type="ProductList" ><actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" /></actinic:block></actinic:block>" />

              Hi Rob.

              Have got this working, however the description appears at the top of every page too - see link below.

              Strange, why is this?

              Thanks.

                You have

                <meta name="description" content="<font color="#009900">Not available on overnight delivery - Normally dispatched within 3 - 5 days</font><br />Join the mile high club in this kinky air cadet dress&#44; with easy access front zip&#44; epaulettes&#44; badge&#44; and mock hipster belt&#46; Available in dreamy sky blue&#44; or black PVC&#46; Both trimmed with silver and vibrant pink&#46; Comes with matching flying cap&#46; <br />Free shipping&#33;" />
                Which is being interpreted as

                <meta name="description" content="<font color=" #009900">

                with the following text interpreted as being outside the meta tag.

                You'll have to strip the HTML tags from your description.
