Description meta tag problem


Using Jamroom

ouviste:For some reason when I change the favorite artist in my front page, my site description disappears from search engines and the favorite artist's small description that appears on the Favorite Artist feature is what shows as the description on search engines, what can I do about this?

Fix your meta description tag in your skin's meta.tpl file so it does not use the profile's information.

Quote:Another thing I have noticed is every time I create/update the sitemap and send it to google, I go from having 500+ pages indexed to only having about 200 and it takes days if not weeks to have the rest indexed, this only happens with my JR site, I have a few other sites using different scripts and this never happens.

Then don't bother with a sitemap. It's certainly something you should not be uploading to Google on a regular basis - Google will crawl and find the pages on your site all on it's own - the only time I can think you would want to upload it to Google is if your site is brand new.

Foxycart address collection


Using Jamroom

andersda:When you check out a purchase with foxycart, it makes the user enter their address.

Is there a way to avoid this if you've already collected their information when they created a member account?

Also, is it possible to save this information in their member account when they purchase something for the first time?

This is something you'd want to ask FoxyCart to see if they can auto-fill it - I'm not aware of any way to pass this info into the foxycart checkout.

Yes - just don't require a login to purchase and an account will be created for them when they purchase.

Hope this helps!

ACP Market Place


Suggestions

Dazed:Can you Add a "Jump To Page" in the footer for all of the tabs? Some of these are only a few pages but "installed" is like 7 pages for me.

I thought it used the normal page jumper which should show that - I can check it out.

Gallery issue


Genosis

blindmime:Hmm. They're gone now. Sorry, I guess it's a temporary cache thing.

Yeah the front page isn't immediately aware the photos have been deleted, so it could take a couple mins to update.
