We’ve gone ahead and removed the portion of code that we referenced on your end, after realizing that the code wasn’t being executed in our given situation and wasn’t necessary. There didn’t appear to be any problems on our end when our original code was executed but we appreciate input from people who are able to point out potential fixes in our work that helps us to learn, thanks again.

Thank you for your acknowledgment; I appreciate it.

Let me correct you on one point: as I explained in the instructions accompanying this code, the whole code goes into the theme template, not in the other templates, as you assume. It appears once.

From this mistaken perception, it is clear that you do not fully understand the code, and hence, your changes to it do not make much sense: you’ve now got a case loop wrapped within another case statement, and the two contradict each other.

Please feel free to express any questions or concerns you may have.

Best regards,
Christina

First, let me apologize for not crediting you for portion of the code. I mentioned in the post that I had searched through Shopify’s forums and had pieced some things together- but you are correct in saying that a portion of the code displayed should be credited to you. However, the main focus of the post was the bolded portion of the code which we developed and was not included in your original forum post. As per my understanding of your forum post, you propose to make changes to each template page independently. The conditionals that we developed refer to a site’s unique pages, rather than the template pages. Also, all of the conditionals that we worked with were placed on the “theme.liquid” page as opposed to altering each individual template page.

It was not my intention to pass off your work as my own. In fact, the post also mentions that there are several other ways to create custom title and META tags, and that this was just one way. Once again, I apologize for not citing your contribution to the post. Please feel free to express any other questions or concerns you may have.

It’s also customary to give credit when you publish someone else’s code.

The one you refer to as yours was developed and published by me, here: http://forums.shopify.com/categories/1/posts/19248#comment-19425.

Thank you for acknowledging that.

Thanks a ton! That was driving me nuts. I was able to get my first product page to work. Thanks again for posting this article. It was most helpful.

For our client’s Shopify site, we only made modifications to the theme.liquid page. No changes were made to any products pages or the page.liquid page.

You want to place the code on the theme.liquid page between the head tag and body tag. You are also going to be creating conditionals for each page that you wish to modify the Title and Meta tags for.

Here is an example of the code you would want to place if you were modifying your ‘Welcome’ and ‘Product 1′ pages:

{% case page_title %}
{% when null %}

{% when ‘Welcome’ %}

{% when ‘Product 1′ %}

Once you have completed the above conditionals for all of your landing pages, paste the rest of the code (which is under the bolded conditional in the post) before the body tag.

For our client’s shopify site, all of our work was done on the theme.liquid page. We made no changes to product pages, page.liquid, etc.

You want to place the code between the head tag and body tag on the theme.liquid page. Each page that you wish to add Title and Meta tags to should have a conditional.

Here is an example for a ‘Welcome’ page and a ‘Product 1′ page:

{% case page_title %}
{% when null %}

{% when ‘Welcome’ %}

{% when ‘Product 1′ %}

Use this method for each of your landing pages, then insert the remaining portion of the code before the body tag (the part that comes after the bold section in the article).

{% when ‘Welcome’ %}
T-Shirt Printers | T-Shirt Customization

to the top of my product page above my 1st paragraph of content? I’m not clear on where this code goes. Also, do I need to modify page.liquid at all?

Thanks again for putting this out there. Shopify rocks, but the SEO functionality is lacking.
