Hello,

I have activated the plugin and entered this in the description field:

Color: {ef_Color}
Finish: {ef_Finish}

But nothing is being shown in the text area of each item.

Hello,

The meta data generated by this plugin is displayed in the html source, but not saved in the database.

To find the generated meta data, go to an item view page, right click, then click view page source, you will see the generated keyowrds and description in the head section.

I guess I did not know what I purchased. I thought this was going to automatically generate the text for each item. So it would populate the extra field information for each item under description.

Hello,

What you want to do can be done with a little customization in the item.php template file, provided that you will make the meta description and item description to be identical, let me know if this is the case.

Hello Mohamed,

Yes I would like the description to be identical to the meta description (if possible). It is almost 300 items and if there is a way to auto populate the description of each item that would be great. Thank you for your help.

And just to make sure, with customization, this area can be filled out?

Hello,

Please open the item.php template file, or override, for editing.
Replace
Code:
<?php echo $this->item->fulltext; ?>
With
Code:
<?php echo $this->item->metadesc; ?>
