Hi!
How can I use the products long description for the meta name="description" ?
I have this set at the moment :
<meta name="description" content="<?php print $productname; ?> - <?php print str_replace('"','"',$productdescription)?>">
Thanks!

Howdy Guy, From the PHP Parameters help page here >>
Use the long description for the meta description tag If you prefer to use the long description rather than the short description for the meta description tag, add the following
$usemetalongdescription=TRUE;
Personally, I do not use that, preferring to copy/paste the opening couple of sentences from the Long Description into the Short Description section, because Google limit the length of the Short Description and, for SEO, the Long Description should always be beefed up with unique, detailed, quality content.

After looking into this, I think it would be better to use the "Meta Description" on the product admin page.
However, it's only available for one language and our store is using 2 languages.
