Hi Im currently trying to explore this feature in a catalogue site. Dynamic variables on SEO.
I´ve ran in a lot of apparent bugs.
(I read all documentation already and these answers)
I already have a couple of products, a collection with 20 testing variables and both dynamic pages (collection and single page).
My Available created Variables are being displayed on SEO configuration editor (as options within their corresponding braces under the input box). But when I insert/write/copy them in the input field they dont display in the front end (seems they are not being parsed) (they are displayed the same as the variable). I thought it was a plugin issue or maybe to activate a missing plugin but only search plugins are disabled.
I´ve tried many things already.
- Remove all utf8 special characters (in another test collection)
- Make a new collection
- Clearing browser cache
- Clearing joomla cache
- Clearing server cache (also serveral times as the past ones)
- Tried to access the preview from the menu (with normal slugs) and aditionally throught the SPPB preview url
- Tried using only lower case
- Tried using single bracket
- Tried doble bracket
- Tried with surrounding text
- Tried with only the variable inserted.
- Tried metadesc, keywords, og image, etc.. All SEO fields in that part.
None of these have worked:
- I have sppb pro with valid license
- I have the latest version
- I already tried to reinstall it
- The site is a fresh joomla 5 instalation (its updated )
I also tried putting the variable on the title. So I can define the page title (but I would understand that part maybe is not designed to parse anything yet).
I cannot make it work..
Are these bugs?
If not, how can I make this work?
(as I am on a production deadline, and if you think this will take very long, instead I can use joomla custom fields)
