			<description><![CDATA[This is exactly the kind of stuff I need loads of info about. :-) I have recently built a webshop with Virtuemart and need to fix the URL´s and metadescription s. For that purpose I´m planning to use ARTIO JoomSEF but I´m a bit anxious about pressing the button. Read somewhere that it might screw up the whole page completely? Do I need to worry? Is there anything I should think of?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[There is a ARTIO JoomSEF MetaBot which is used for generation of metatags managed by the Artio JoomSEF component. So far I have been able to get it to create Meta descriptions but not the keywords]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[With Artio i cannot figue out any way to create meta descriptions for the product pages, apart from filling in the short description in the product admin. Also the page titles only display the product name, not the categories as i desire. Great URLs but the changing the meta data in Artio is no so good. Manual changes are no good when you have 1000s of products like on my site http://www.arabesque77.co.uk I have looked averywhere but still no solution for these issues. Sef404 seems to be buggy with virtuemart and the urls are not are good as artio.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Yannick, is there a way to remove the shop name in the automatically generated title, in order to gain more weight on the previous words in the title. Btw, thanks for the great component! I'm using it on my Virtuemart online boutique(http://www.sulaymancity.com/baju) Any tips to increase the ranking on my site are welcome :P Thanks!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Thanks Steve and Yannick for all this info. I think I'm beginning to get my head around the meta titles stuff. Got very confused so I thought I'd write out what I've done: - JRE SEF patch installed (works, but looks complex) - sh404sef now installed and basics are working well (I love the function that avoids duplicate URLs, very clever) - Then published Yannick's shCustomtags module in footer position -> saw it generating auto page titles like this: Solar panels | 5w solar panels then if I want to overwrite manually for certain pages, then I can click the meta button in the sh404sef URLs list as described above. I have a feeling that the clever PHP stuff in the params on the shCustom module could improve, or possibly replace the need for the JRE patch. But it's way over my head... Does the above sound vaguely sensible? ;-) Thanks Teaboy]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi Steve, I'd like to comment a bit on this : - with sh404SEF, you don't need to go to another place or cut/paste the non-sef URL. From the SEF URL list, just select a given URL and press the META button to access all meta entry field. There is also a dedicated button for Homepage meta - the dedicated META management area (distinct from what is described above, and accessed with the Meta Management button on main control panel) is mostly intended for URL which don't have a SEF equivalent (because there is no plugin for a particuler comp or because you elected to skip it for some reason). SEF URL meta are also found there for completeness, but normally you should never get there - what is really different in sh404SEF in terms of Meta management is that it generates Title, desc and keywords AUTOMATICALLY for regular content and ... Virtuemart (in addition to allowing setting them up manually of course). I have taken another approach than usual meta generator. I think fully automatic meta yield average results because it is hard to identify the relevant information in a page. So I am using (just like for URL) a PLUGIN system to build up the meta. For instance the Virtuemart meta plugin will build up the following tags for a product page: Title : product_name | category 1 | category 2 | shop name Desc : the product short description, taken from VM database keywords : same data as title, with commas instead of | (not too much effort here, keywords are not really useful anyway, except for Baidu!) Please check out for instance : http://extensions.siliana.net/en/Demo-shop/Hand-tools/Nice-saw/Detailed-product-flyer.html All tags on this page are autmatically generated, yet I believe they are pertinent. Another big advantage of this plugin system is that it will also use the appropriate language for your tags, without you doing anyting else than filling up VM description fields. This is why I am using a module rather than a bot, because a system bot cannot fetch multi-lingual data from Joomfish database Hope this makes things a bit clearer. Thanks a bunch for this good Virtuemart series! Regards Yannick]]></description>
