    Posted: 29-November-2012 at 12:11pm
Hi Friends,

When I view a Brand page from IE or FireFox and reverse click to "view page source," I see the following:

<TITLE>Search Results - Then my Stores Company Name</TITLE>
Very frustrating when I install a good title in the brand meta tags title for that brand.

What I would like to see is

<TITLE>The the proper title tag that I generate</TITLE>

I hope you can help or give some direction.

in the file include-metatags.asp, look for references to "scCompanyName".  You can see logic in there that is adding that string to the title tag.  Shouldn't be a lot of effort to disable that.  Let me know if you need a hand.

Thanks Greg.  Before, I jumped on the forum, I opened the include-metatags.asp file and saw it, but I did not know if I should replace it or just empty out the csCompanyName between the quotes.

I had hope to get rid of the "Search Results -" test showing up in the meta tag titles.  Can this be done in the includes-metatags.asp  file?

I meant to write: I had hope to get rid of the "Search Results -" too that showing up in the meta tag titles.

Hi LittleSmokey,

Here's the problem. There is a bug in PC here, and then you also want to get rid of the - CompanyName.

For the latter, open showsearchresults.asp and find the following:
pcv_DefaultTitle = pcv_DefaultTitle & " - " & scCompanyName

change that to:
' Modified to remove company name
'pcv_DefaultTitle = pcv_DefaultTitle & " - " & scCompanyName
pcv_DefaultTitle = pcv_DefaultTitle

Then, to fix the bug, open include-metatags.asp and find the following:
	if pcStrPageName = "showsearchresults.asp" then
		Title = dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_ShowSearch_50") & " - " & scCompanyName
	end if

change that to:
 if pcStrPageName = "showsearchresults.asp" then
		' Modified to use brand meta tag, if available
		if len(pcv_DefaultTitle&"") > 1 then
			Title = pcv_DefaultTitle
		else
			Title = dictLanguage.Item(Session("language")&"_ShowSearch_50") & " - " & scCompanyName
		end if
	end if

It worked!  Thank you Sean!

I am so glad not to bug our friends at ProductCart to make the fix.

LittleSmokey - sorry I didn't get back to you earlier.  I got caught up in some extracurricular activities today as a massive storm swept through our region.  It's Winter baby, and it's all coming at once, or so it seems at the moment!
