[SOLVED] Metal title - auto limit input to 65 characters ?

[Mister Denial]

Hello,

 

is it possible to set the input field for product meta titles in BO so it will only accept 65 characters, the Google limit? It would make writing meta titles a lot easier to know how many characters long it is without having to copy past it elsewhere first.

 

Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions!

yes, you can set the maxlength=65 attribute of text box, so it will not accept more than 65 character.

 

change file

YourAdminFolder/tabs/AdminProducts.php

 

Looking for 'meta title' in the above file,

then look for the input tag right after that

 

Before

<input size="55" type="text" id="meta_title_'.$language['id_lang'].'" name="meta_title_'.$language['id_lang'].'"
.........

 

 

After

<input size="55" maxlength="65" type="text" id="meta_title_'.$language['id_lang'].'" name="meta_title_'.$language['id_lang'].'"
.....

Hello Shokinro,

 

thank you for your help, much appreciated!

 

Just a quick question though, does this change also affect existing products, i.e. will it truncate the meta title of products I already have encoded? I think not, but I just want to be sure if I have to check previous entries and correct missing parts.

 

Have a great day!

No. This will only input length of limit. For existing product, the data is already in database.
