How To Get Meta_Title Of A Particular Cms Page

[qcd]

I'm pretty new to presashop, and I'm currently using a template in prestashop v1.4.0.17. I have customized the tmcategories.tpl to have several of my own links in the header.

 

Several of the links are pointing to cms pages that I created. Originally I was putting the title right into the link for example:

 

<li><a href="http://www.myurl.com/cms.php?id_cms=4">About Us</a></li>

 

But now I would like to change the About Us to that cms pages {$meta_title}

This way the Header links will all correspond to whatever I put in the meta title box on the backend.

 

I just don't know how to target the meta_title of a particular page.

Another reason I need this to target the backend meta_title section is so that when I add an alternate language it will also show up.

 

Any help would really be appreciated

If anyone knows how to target a particular pages meta_title I'm still interested; However, I did find another solution.

 

Mainly I wanted to be able to update my links for Spanish translation. All I had to do was:

use the smarty syntax: {l s='About Us' mod='tmcategoris.tpl'} wherever I wanted to translate.

 

Then I just navigated to the backend tools=>translations=>modules

And my string showed up with the option to translate.

 

** At first my translations didn't store. If you have an issue with this I determined a solution regarding this also by:

creating a php.ini file inside my prestashop/admin folder.

Apparently my post_max_size default was 8M and this was too small?

 

Anyway If you have any comments let me know. Thank you.

Yo can use the custom function of the class Meta

Meta::getCmsMetas($id_cms, $id_lang, $page_name)

You must set 2 of the 3 variables or "$id_cms & $id_lang" or "$id_lang & $page_name"

 

that returns an array:

array(3) {
["meta_title"]=> string "The meta title"
["meta_description"]=> string "The meta description"
["meta_keywords"]=> string "The meat keywords"
}

 

Wish it helps to someone.

Regards.
