Category listing - duplicate meta_title

[jgerza]

Hello,

 

How to change meta title of category by different page?

 

On every list-page of category is same meta title. I want to rewrite it for exapmle with (2) (3) ... etc.

 

It show help from title duplicity.

I do not understand, why is not this solution default on Prestashop.

Hi jgerza,

Just to make sure I understand your question, do you mean when you browse your products list of a specific category (i.e the 'product list' pages after clicking on a category name in the left block) and you go to page 2,3,4, you want the page number included in the title. Is that correct?

Yes pascal, i mean exactly that.

Just need delete duplicate meta_title with this change.

 

Why is it not in default?

Hmm, you can change the title dynamically, depending on the page, but I'm not sure if this is SEO friendly. That said:

in themes/<your theme folder>/pagination.tpl, at the very end, add:

 

<script type="text/javascript">
if(document.title.indexOf(" - page ") == -1) {
 document.title = document.title + " - page " + {$p};
}
</script>

 

 

N.B. The if statement was needed to don't get "- page 1 - page 1" (i.e. 2 times the page number). Somehow this pagination file is called twice, therefore a check if it is added already

 

Hope this does what you want, but as said, do some research if this is SEO friendly...

 

my 2 cents,

pascal
