remove part of product description

astran · #1 September 16th, 2011, 08:31 AM

Hi Eric,

Some merchant has their name as part of product description, how can I remove them

for example Zappos inserts "Zappos.com is proud to offer the" in the first part of its product description

Thanks

You can edit the products manually by clicking the "more info" link for the product in the Factory.

Zappos has thousand of products - I can not change the description manually

In "HTML for the <head> element" in "product detail"

we have "<meta name="description" content="[product.description]" />"

How can we modify the "content" to get rid of "Zappos.com is proud to offer the"

Well, you could use PHP's substr() or str_replace() function to strip out specific text from the $product->description variable. That's really your only choice.

I am not a programmer - please show me how to use PHP's substr() function to remove "Zappos.com is proud to offer the" in the $product->description

Eric · #6 September 16th, 2011, 02:38 PM

<?php echo str_replace("Zappos.com is proud to offer the", "", $product->description); ?>

More examples and usages here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

Hi,

In which file I need to insert this code?

Quote:

<?php echo str_replace("Zappos.com is proud to offer the", "", $product->description); ?>

Best,

Hi

The other user was referring to this section:

The Factory > Your Store > VIEWS > PRODUCT DETAIL > Default > View menu > View <head> Elements in the meta description tag.

Hi,

how can I replace a string like "- bei Yoox.com" from the product title?

I tried to insert it this way in //Views > Product detail > edit template// but didn't work.

Quote:

<?php echo str_replace(" - bei YOOX.COM", "", $category->description); ?>


<div class="sp">
<div class="lc">
<div class="thmb">
<a href="[product.url direct='0']" title="[product.name]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
<img src="[product.image]" width="250" />
</a>
</div>

</div>
<div class="rc">
<h2><a href="[product.url direct='0']" title="[product.name]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">[product.name]</a></h2>
<p class="desc">[product.description]</p>
<div>
[product.each_tag]<?php if($nn>1){echo ', ';}?><a href="[tag.link]"><?php echo str_replace("-"," ",$tag->name);?></a>[product.end]
</div>
<div class="prc">[product.currency mode="word"][product.price]</div>
<div class="btns">
<a href="javascript:window.history.go(-1)" class="dfbutton dfsilver dflarge" title="Zurück zur letzten Seite">zurück</a>
<a href="[product.url]" class="dfbutton dforange dflarge" title="Jetzt kaufen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bestellen</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearingdiv"> </div>
</div>

I already asked a similar question but do you have a solution if I want a freelancer to re-write the product description for SEO purpose without providing access to the factory? Like: exporting all products in a csv file and importing it back.
If not might this be worth to be a comming feature?

Thanks,
Oliver

Hi

You're almost there. You need this:

PHP Code:


			
<?php $pname = str_replace(" - bei YOOX.COM", "", $product->name); ?>

But where the product name appears you need to use <?php echo $pname; ?> instead of [product.name].

This worked just fine! :-)
Thank you so much!

Here for others the code how it looks in the end. I just have to do the same on the view category.

here the detail view:

Quote:

<?php $pname = str_replace(" - bei YOOX.COM", "", $product->name); ?>


<div class="sp">
<div class="lc">
<div class="thmb">
<a href="[product.url direct='0']" title="<?php echo $pname; ?>" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">
<img src="[product.image]" width="250" />
</a>
</div>

</div>
<div class="rc">
<h2><a href="[product.url direct='0']" title="<?php echo $pname; ?>" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><?php echo $pname; ?></a></h2>
<p class="desc">[product.description]</p>
<div>
[product.each_tag]<?php if($nn>1){echo ', ';}?><a href="[tag.link]"><?php echo str_replace("-"," ",$tag->name);?></a>[product.end]
</div>
<div class="prc">[product.currency mode="word"][product.price]</div>
<div class="btns">
<a href="javascript:window.history.go(-1)" class="dfbutton dfsilver dflarge" title="Zurück zur letzten Seite">zurück</a>
<a href="[product.url]" class="dfbutton dforange dflarge" title="Jetzt kaufen" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Bestellen</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearingdiv"> </div>
</div>

hmmm... for the category view somehow it didn't work that way.
When I change the code this way the headline won't be displayed.

What am I doing wrong again?

What I did:
Inserting this line

Quote:

<?php $pname = str_replace(" - bei YOOX.COM", "", $product->name); ?>

and changing to <?php echo $pname; ?> instead of [product.name]

Quote:

<?php $pname = str_replace(" - bei YOOX.COM", "", $product->name); ?>


<div class="pl">
[product.each]
<div class="t3 col1">
<div class="bdr">
<div class="lc">
<div class="thmb"><a href="[product.link]" title="<?php echo $pname; ?>">[product.image tag='1']</a></div>
<div class="prc">[product.currency mode='word'] [product.price]</div>
</div>
<div class="rc">
<h2><a href="[product.link]" title="<?php echo $pname; ?>"><?php echo $pname; ?></a></h2>
<p class="desc">[product.description]</p>
<div class="btns">
<a href="[product.link]" title="<?php echo $pname; ?>" class="dfbutton dfblue dflarge">Details</a>
<a href="[product.url direct='0']" title="<?php echo $pname; ?>" class="dfbutton dforange dflarge">bestellen</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearingdiv"> </div>
</div>
</div>
[product.end]
<div class="clearingdiv"> </div>
</div>

Eric · #13 November 23rd, 2011, 09:13 AM

Hi

You should place the first PHP code immediately after the [product.each] tag.

...
[product.each]
<?php $pname = str_replace(" - bei YOOX.COM", "", $product->name); ?>
...
