Microformats For Zen Cart, Microformats ratings for Zen Cart online stores Options

[Stig]

I've installed the plug-in on our ZenCart 1.51 installation. There were no problems with the database modifications or template modifications.

All the microdata item-props are inserted properly when the page is generated, except the itemprops associated with the AggregateRating. Nothing is inserted and of course Google's Test Tool does not show it.

Here's a product with three reviews from our site. If you look at the source code you'll see AggregateRating itemprops are not showing up.

Anyone else experience this ?

Unfortunately this plug-in is apparently of no use at all for display Rich Snippet or Microformats details for display in Google Search.

The plug-in generates this block of code within a product page

<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
<meta itemprop="brand" content="Industrial Camera Sales &amp; Service" />
<meta itemprop="category" content="Inspection Cameras &gt; Sewer Camera" />
<meta itemprop="name" content="Sewer Camera with DVR and Audio - WPS-710ND" />
<meta itemprop="identifier" content="upc:54" />
<meta itemprop="image" content="http:/XXXXXXX/cart/images/SewerCamera.jpg" />
<meta itemprop="description" content="&lt;p&gt;The perfect tool for drain pipe and interior plumbing inspection. The SC60 combines a waterproof color camera, packaged in a stainless steel housing, with 65 feet of fiberglass cable and a 7 inch LCD video display. The camera housing incorporates bright LED lights for inspection in total darkness.&lt;/p&gt;

The following is Google's comments -


HIDDEN MARKUPS

Your content is marked up for rich snippets, but that content isn’t actually visible on the page itself. In general, Google won't display any content in rich snippets that human visitors can’t see. Here’s an example of the hidden content we found on your site:

URL: http://industrialcamerasales.com/cart/cell...amera-p-40.html

Markup Type: Product
Hidden content:

<div itemscope="" itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product
">
<meta itemprop="brand" content="Industrial Camera Sales &amp; Service">
<meta itemprop="category" content="Microscope Cameras">
<meta itemprop="name" content="CellPad Megapixel Microscope Camera - CellPad E">
<meta itemprop="identifier" content="upc:40">
<meta itemprop="image" content="http://industrialcamerasales.com/cart/images/201311832825323.jpg

">
<meta itemprop="description" ...


Is there a fix for this ?

Where you see hidden markup? I just open your url and don't see in html code any hidden content. This is possible only with some old version of plugin.

Just send you instructions on PM how to change code.

You don't understand. Yes, all the product properties are shown on the page, e.g. image, description, price, etc... And it even passes Google's Rich Snippet Test

But your code uses Meta tags to insert the itemprop tag. Doing it this way does not label the actual product property, it just inserts the itemprop tag for Google to see.

Google disallows this usage and ignores the itemprop tags. The item properties do not show up in search results.

This is direct from Google. The itemprop tags need to wrap around the specific property as in the following;

<span itemprop="description"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></span>

1. First alternative is to switch from Microdata to Microformats or RDF
   Edit file "\includes\modules\microformatsvotes.php"
   Remove from (lines ~190 and ~205)
   
   
   Код
   style="position:absolute;left:-25000px;"
   
   
2. Second option is to change the way that Microdata is displayed
   Edit file "\includes\modules\microformatsvotes.php"
   Find (line ~167 - 186)
   
   
   Код
   <div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
       <meta itemprop="brand" content="'.htmlspecialchars(STORE_NAME).'" />
       <meta itemprop="category" content="'.implode(' &gt; ', $mfv_category).'" />
       <meta itemprop="name" content="'.htmlspecialchars($mfv_title).'" />
       <meta itemprop="identifier" content="upc:'.(int)$_GET['products_id'].'" />
       <meta itemprop="image" content="'.HTTP_SERVER.DIR_WS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_IMAGES.$mfv_product->fields['products_image'].'" />
       <meta itemprop="description" content="'.htmlspecialchars($mfv_product->fields['products_description']).'" />
       <span itemprop="offerDetails" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Offer">
           <meta itemprop="price" content="'.$price.'" />
           <meta itemprop="currency" content="'.DEFAULT_CURRENCY.'" />
           '.$special_offer_exp_date.'
           <span itemprop="seller">
               <span itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Organization">
                   <meta itemprop="name" content="'.htmlspecialchars(STORE_NAME).'" />
                   <meta itemprop="url" content="'.HTTP_SERVER.'" />
               </span>
           </span>
           <meta itemprop="availability" content="'.$availability['value'].'" />
       </span>
   </div>
   
   
   Replace it with:
   
   Код
   <div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
       <span itemprop="brand">'.htmlspecialchars(STORE_NAME).'</span>
       <span itemprop="category">'.implode(' &gt; ', $mfv_category).'</span>
       <span itemprop="name">'.htmlspecialchars($mfv_title).'</span>
       <span itemprop="identifier">upc:'.(int)$_GET['products_id'].'</span>
       <img itemprop="image" src="'.HTTP_SERVER.DIR_WS_CATALOG.DIR_WS_IMAGES.$mfv_product->fields['products_image'].'" />
       <span itemprop="description">'.htmlspecialchars($mfv_product->fields['products_description']).'</span>
       <span itemprop="offerDetails" itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Offer">
           <span itemprop="price">'.$price.'</span>
           <span itemprop="currency">'.DEFAULT_CURRENCY.'</span>
           '.$special_offer_exp_date.'
           <span itemprop="seller">
               <span itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Organization">
                   <span itemprop="name">'.htmlspecialchars(STORE_NAME).'</span>
                   <a itemprop="url" href="'.HTTP_SERVER.'">'.htmlspecialchars(STORE_NAME).'</a>
               </span>
           </span>
           <span itemprop="availability">'.$availability['value'].'</span>
       </span>
   </div>

In both cases your data will be visible on product page. May be you will find the way to hide it from users and show it only to google. Other option is to edit this html and your template in the way that they will look nice and you will not have need to hide them.

Hallo I still have problems. Look

and the HTML code of the description is printed

[Aldo Campione]
