#756 – Viruemart Page Title tag

 Hi,

I'm running J 3.4.3, VM3, sh404SEF 4.6.0.2718.

I see that you have returned metas management for Virtuemart:
/components/com_sh404sef/meta_ext/com_virtuemart.php.
i.e. Page Title tag calculation.

I'm going to modify the Page Title - include SKU, Price etc. I think it's better to do it inside VM files. I know where. Therefore, I need that VM would control Page Title, not sh404SEF. sh404SEF should only in my case manage SEF URLs for VM.

What should I do - rename the file above or comment out some parts of it? Also, would it be possible to make the changes update safe?

Thanks

Hi,

You could comment out the relative parts of the file but this is not guarantied that will not be overwritten on the next update.

Hi,

The previous answer is about hacking either VM or sh404SEF or both, but here is a better way:
So best approach here, will be to write a plugin that will fire on the event "onContentBeforeSave", that way even VM files could be updated without any problems.
Also once you do the changes into VM and your own custom title is saved into VM database, then sh404SEF will recognize that and won't overwrite them.
In other words if you follow this path you won't need to change sh404SEF core meta_ext plugin for VM and thus you won’t have any problems on future releases of sh404SEF.

Thanks, I will think about it.

So far I simply renamed sh404sef meta plugin for VM and will hack relevant VM files. Leaving aside update issue, please confirm that renaming (or deleting) of that file is OK for sh404SEF operation with VM. At the moment I don't see any problems.

Cheers

Hi,

Although a hack, it would work.

Thanks.
