you must edit Meta class, you can find there something like:

 

$row['meta_title'] = $title.(!empty($page_number) ? ' ('.$page_number.')' : '').' - '.Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME');

 

you must delete the: Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME'); from each meta_title value

 

it's better to override this class, than edit default file

[josecar]

ok, if i get it, I go to /override/classes/Meta.php and copy there the relevant code from /classes from /classes/Meta.php:

 

public static function getHomeMetas($id_lang, $page_name)
   {
       $metas = Meta::getMetaByPage($page_name, $id_lang);
       $ret['meta_title'] = (isset($metas['title']) && $metas['title']) ? $metas['title'].' - '.Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME') : Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME');
       $ret['meta_description'] = (isset($metas['description']) && $metas['description']) ? $metas['description'] : '';
       $ret['meta_keywords'] = (isset($metas['keywords']) && $metas['keywords']) ? $metas['keywords'] :  '';
       return $ret;
   }

 

so in line 4 of the above snippet i just leave this:

 

$ret['meta_title'] = (isset($metas['title']) && $metas['title']) ? $metas['title'];

 

is this correct?

[vekia]

is this correct?

 

in this case it's better to use code below:

 

$ret['meta_title'] = (isset($metas['title']) && $metas['title']) ? $metas['title']:'';

 

I tested it and it works well, hope it helps you

I will write step-by-step tutorial about that for other users.

Can i mark this topic as solved? please reply if it works.

not yet, i'm quite noob at this php with classes

 

I tried this: copy pasted code inside 'original' Metacore class, then searched from all lines that appended shop name and deleted it. Maybe i made an error, but this didnt work.

 

Should I try just dropping your line in the now emptied again class class 'Meta extends MetaCore' in overrides?

[vekia]

if you dont want to edit main class, you must override it. So - you must open override/classes/Meta.php file

 

and paste new function, that you want to override. here is an example that correspond to this case:

 

<?php
class Meta extends MetaCore
{
public static function getHomeMetas($id_lang, $page_name)
{
 $metas = Meta::getMetaByPage($page_name, $id_lang);
 $ret['meta_title'] = (isset($metas['title']) && $metas['title']) ? $metas['title'] : '';
 $ret['meta_description'] = (isset($metas['description']) && $metas['description']) ? $metas['description'] : '';
 $ret['meta_keywords'] = (isset($metas['keywords']) && $metas['keywords']) ? $metas['keywords'] :  '';
 return $ret;
}
}

great thanks, vekia, got it with gethomemetas.

 

however, i am clueless as to how to strip just ps_shop name in this line in getcategorymetas() in line 30 of meta.php:

 

$row['meta_title'] = $title.$row['meta_title'].(!empty($page_number) ? ' ('.$page_number.')' : '').' - '.Configuration::get('PS_SHOP_NAME');

 

as you see, im quite noob at this, i really appreciate your help

[vekia]

code below should works

$row['meta_title'] = $title.$row['meta_title'].(!empty($page_number) ? ' ('.$page_number.')' : '');

[josecar]

yes it does. thats what i tried first, but it seems I stripped too much somewhere.

 

thanks for your help, vekia. as soon as I complete all relevant funcions i'll post here a big fat SOLVED
