I'm looking at using dynamic meta tags for products.php, etc. More specifically, I want to utilize sectionname.

I'm on PHP v7.0.3. Should sectionname be available for use? If so, how would I set up the dynamic title.

PS I have used dynamic meta tags in the very distant past but now can't seem to get them to work> Is it possibly something in includes.php inhibiting?

Hi Nick

That shouldn't be a problem - are you using something like this

<title>Bob's widget store: <?php
if($topsection != "") print $topsection . ", ";
print $sectionname?></title>

Do you have something like this at the top of the code on products.php

<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
ob_start();
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";?><html>

You will need the metainfo line.

We have

<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
ob_start();
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php";
include "vsadmin/includes.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";
?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

print $sectionname?></title>
<!-- #EndEditable -->

That looks fine to me, where do you have it set up so I can take a look?

That appears to be a static URL so the syntax will be different

https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/seo/static-url-php.asp#dynamic

<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
ob_start();
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php";
include "vsadmin/includes.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php";
$explicitid="prodref";
$prodid="prodref";
include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";?>

I now have

<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
ob_start();
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php";
include "vsadmin/includes.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php";
$explicitid="prodref";
$prodid="prodref";
include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";
?>

but it is still the same.

Sorry, that would be with catid

<?php
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
ob_start();
include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php";
include "vsadmin/includes.php";
include "vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php";
$catid="7";
include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";?>

Where the "7" comes from the identifier in the category admin page.
