A tricky question for all experts.

 

how to Add = sign in product title or meta description

 

I have a book named "Leadership + Teamwork = Success"

Hi, it is restricted to use those characters because it conflicts with URL aspects. It's not a good idea to have those in the product name because you won't be able to use Friendly URL.

But we can use it in meta title without possible errors, i think

in file classes/Product.php you can change line:

'meta_title' => 				array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 128), 

instead of isCatalogName use isAnything

 

 

!do it only for test purposes! if everything will be fine you can create override of class

Hi Milos, would this conflict with Friendly URL if it is enabled and the product name has a "=" in it?

omg i wanted to say to change this line:
 

'meta_title' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isGenericName', 'size' => 128),

to change meta title, i edited my post and also your message above to remove 'name' because it can confuse merchants

 

im testing 'name' validate type change right now.
