    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://forum.productcart.com/member_profile.asp?PF=1">ProductCart</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 2868<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 03-August-2009 at 5:58pm<br /><br />This is determined by the following code contained in the file "pc/include-metatags.asp". When the description Meta Tag is empty for a product, ProductCart builds that description as shown in the following code.<br /><br /><table width="99%"><tr><td><pre class="BBcode">'// Product Details Page: DESCRIPTION<br />if not isNull(mtPMetaDesc) and mtPMetaDesc&lt;&gt;"" then<br /> mtDescription=mtPMetaDesc<br />else<br /> mtDescription=mtPName & "," & mtPsDesc & "," & mtCDesc & "," & scCompanyName<br />end if</pre></td></tr></table><br /><br />So it uses: product name + short description + category name + company name. You can certainly change this by editing the file itself. We will also review it and see if it should be changed for a future version.<br /><br />This, however, is not just on the BTO configuration page. This is on all product pages.<span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by earlyimp - 03-August-2009 at 5:59pm</span>]]>
