There is a problem with SEO of JAT3-V2 Menu and I hope this solution works (worked for me)

When you disable the CSS of your browser this is what you see:

HomePurity’s Home
TypographyContent is King!
ExploreDon’t be surprised..
About Joomla!The best CMS ever!
RTL LanguagesNative Support for RTL Languages!

and sadly, this is the way google reads your site! and later when somebody searches for your site sees them!

This is what it should look like (for example)

Home – Purity’s Home
Typography – Content is King!
Explore – Don’t be surprised..
About Joomla! – The best CMS ever!
RTL Languages – Native Support for RTL Languages!

To solve this, open the file
yoursite/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/core/menu/base.class.php

Find the code (around line 400)

$txt .= '<span class="menu-desc">'. JText::_($tmp->megaparams->get('desc')).'</span>';

and change it to

$txt .= '<span class="ja-hide">'. ' - '.'</span>'. '<span class="menu-desc">'. JText::_($tmp->megaparams->get('desc')).'</span>';

Now open the file
yoursite/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/base-themes/default/css/menu/mega.css

go to the last line add this code at the end

.ja-hide {display:none;}

Now when you disable the CSS file you see this

Home – Purity’s Home
Typography – Content is King!
Explore – Don’t be surprised..
About Joomla! – The best CMS ever!
RTL Languages – Native Support for RTL Languages!

Done 🙂

Hope Joomlart team fix this for their next release and hope you use it and like it

Cheers
Saman

Awesome!

I’ve noticed that menu descriptions are strange looking at the serps but never had the time to have a look into this. I’ve got to implement this asap.

Thanks for your effort! :laugh:
