Icarus Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Everybody,I am using the import tool to import products.Some of my products are not importing due to an invalid Meta Description.Can someone tell me what are the limitations on Meta Description and Title, in terms of length and allowed characters?Thanks in advance.

Psychodays Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 As far as I know title should be between 60-80 charDescription should be less than 250 char. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarus Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks.So far I have been in trial and error mode.This should be clearly written someplace.My import also fails if it has any HTML entities (both encoded or decoded).i tried finding the database table that has these definitions, but got lost in the 117 tables.

Psychodays Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 My advice is to not modifiy anything (not DB nor php).If you have trouble with HTML entities retry exporting and see if there is an option to avoid encoding in html entities.Are you sure it isn't a problem of encoding instead?

Icarus Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 I agree - I did not want to modify.I just wanted to see either in the DB or the PHP, what are the validation procedures done on these meta fields, so that I can make sure that my import is valid.The thing is, I am generating CSVs for the import process automatically, by a script I am writing, so I wanted to know the rules for each field.For now, I am just making these fields 200 / 80 chars long and removing any html entities.
