Description meta tag cut off after 50 characters

I have just been checking how Google has been indexing my site and on viewing the source code of a listing in firefox i see the meta tag content is cut off after 50 characters, i have checked quite a few listings and they are all the same.

<meta name="Description" content="When you create publications, you inevitably do..." />

Can anyone tell me where this is controlled from? 50 characters is not really enough for this meta tag

Cheers for any advice

By default the limit is set at 50 and is defined in viewlistings.php:

PHP:


$class_tpl->assign('sitedescription', dot(strip_tags($desc), 50));


Just change the 50 at the end to your new limit.

Thanks Eric,

worked a treat

Hello,

I could not find this line in viewlisting.php or viewlisting.tpl. Is it still 50 characters by default? Using 4.1.8 designer version..

Thanks!
