Google preview differs from actual Google display

[mewolari]

Pagetitle will be used as SEO title if no longtitle present.

Actual site template can however differ from template used in SEOPro.

Would be great if the SEOPro rules could be adjusted.

Now SEOPro preview can really differ from actual data as displayed in search engines, depending on the used sitetemplate.

Hi @mewolari
Might have a solution for this; it basically comes down to having a system setting for your title structure with the ability to override in a template property. Then you can use a custom placeholder in your template to show the title. See issue #25 for more info. #25 (comment)

Hello, here is the actual solution:
In the file /assets/components/seopro/js/mgr/seopro.js @line 194, replace the following code:

Ext.get('seopro-google-description').dom.innerHTML = description;

with

    var g_description = String(description);
    if( g_description.length > 155 ) {
        //trim the string to the maximum length
        g_description = g_description.substr(0, 155);
        //re-trim if we are in the middle of a word
        g_description = g_description.substr(0, Math.min(g_description.length, g_description.lastIndexOf(" ")));
        g_description = g_description.concat('...');
    }
    Ext.get('seopro-google-description').dom.innerHTML = g_description;
