Hi All

I am working on a couple of stores for customers and I have made the following code level mods.  I hope you like them and that they are deemed useful enough to be absorbed into the main codebase?

All changes are in catalog.ascx.cs:

To make your category pages appear unique to a search engine:

in      private ArrayList GetCategoryProducts(int categoryID, ArrayList products)     add the following immediately before "return products;".

            //Added by Stu - Add Model Name and Number to page title, if available
            DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault p = (DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)Page;
         
            //Set dynamic page title
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(category.CategoryName))
            {
              p.Title += category.CategoryName;
              p.KeyWords = category.CategoryName;
            }
            //Set dynamic Meta Keywords
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(category.CategoryDescription))
            {
              if (p.KeyWords.Length > 0) p.KeyWords += " ";
              p.KeyWords += category.CategoryDescription;
            }
            //Set dynamic Meta Description
            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(category.CategoryDescription))
            {
              p.Description = category.CategoryDescription;
            }
            //End added by Stu

To make your individual product pages appear unique to a search engine:

in      private Control loadProductDetail()    add the following immediately before "return productDetail;".

      //Added by Stu - Add Model Name and Number to page title, if available
      DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault p = (DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)Page;
      //Set dynamic page title
      if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(productInfo.ModelName))
      {
        p.Title = productInfo.ModelName;
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(productInfo.ModelNumber))
        {
          p.Title += ", " + productInfo.ModelNumber;
        }
      }
      else
      {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(productInfo.ModelNumber))
        {
          p.Title = cpTitle + " > " + productInfo.ModelNumber;
        }
      }
      //Set dynamic Meta Keywords
      if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(productInfo.Summary))
      {
        p.KeyWords = productInfo.Summary;
      }
      //Set dynamic Meta Description
      if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(productInfo.Description))
      {
        p.Description = productInfo.Description;
      }
      //End added by Stu

I am not sure whether it is possible to have two catalog modules on one page.  If so, obviously one module would over-write the meta tags set by the other.  Also adding any other modules that effect the page title or meta tags could possible over-write the values set here.  But I don't see a way around those two problems or that they are likely to occur very often??

Thanks for your time.
