Thanks for the quick reply... I am not authorized to view that post for some reason. I guess it's not in the Magento forum? Could the post be copied into the Magento forum so I can view it?

- I'm actually going to put together a little "Rich Snippets" zip file, that will just need to be unzipped and dropped into the theme folder. Adding it to the themes themselves means overriding a few files, and that could interfere with 3rd party extensions, so for the mean time I think it's better if it's an "optional extra". Will sort that out in the next day or two...

I'd wait for Sam's zip pack, but I edited my post as it had the wrong link.
Here's a link to the rich snippets tutorial:

There's actually no need for me to do this when you can install this extension for free:
www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/...oogle-and-yahoo.html
Just remember to copy the files from app/design/frontend/default/default/layout and app/design/frontend/default/default/template to your theme folder, so app/design/frontend/THEME/default/layout and app/design/frontend/THEME/default/template.
Tested and seems to work fine. You can test here www.google.co.uk/webmasters/tools/richsnippets - STEP 1 IN MAGENTO DEVELOPMENT - DISABLE YOUR CACHE OR YOU WON'T SEE ANY CHANGES.

Ok,
Doesn't look to be compatible with 1.8. Any ways, I just thought it would be a good idea for the RT guys to include it in their themes... pretty good selling point.
I'll probably just manually do it.

- I tested it on a 1.8.1.0 install and it works - also doesn't seem to be overriding any frontend template files, which you would most likely do if adding manually, so I'd suggest giving it a shot. I'm planning on re-writing our ProductView extension asap so I'll most likely be adding Rich Snippets to the new version, but this looks like a good solution in the meantime.

Hi I'm using the extension Sam linked to, but I'm unsure about settig the doctype in: /app/design/frontend/ionosphere/default/template/rokmagelayouts/rokmage2coulmns-left.phtml
I've tried lots of permutations based on the extension instructions, but get loads of validation errors. I'm currently using <!DOCTYPE html> which I believe is html5 doctype. The site works from the front end, but I still get lots of validation errors. What doctype are others using?
If you check this url in the W3c validator you'll see the validation errors: www.wardgemstones.com/2-25x2-25-square-synthetic-sapphire.html
I'm aware there are some other errors unrelated to doctype, I'm going to address those!
