jasper98 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I've got the cDynamic Meta Tags working on the pages included in includes/meta_tags.php. (such as specials.php, products_new.php, product_info.php, etc.) However, I've added a couple other pages to my site that I'd like cDynamic to work with such as all_products.php (which lists categories/product titles). How do I go about getting it to work with these new pages. Do I need to add it somehow to includes/meta_tags.php? I'm just not sure how to go about doing this. Thanks for any help. p.s. I'm using STS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarocque Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 Hi, I have installed cDynamic_Meta_Tags v1.4. When testing it I get the title back but no keywoards are generated. How do I include keywords? And, do I have to modify the default; #---------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Define specific meta tags by entering the value between the '': # For all pages using meta_tags: define('HEAD_TITLE_TAG_ALL',''); # Title define('HEAD_DESC_TAG_ALL',''); # Description define('HEAD_KEY_TAG_ALL',''); # Keywords # For default index page (no products or categories) define('HEAD_TITLE_TAG_INDEX',''); # Title define('HEAD_DESC_TAG_INDEX',''); # Description define('HEAD_KEY_TAG_INDEX',''); # Keywords Regards Peter <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you ar not seeing keywords or description on products and/pr actegories something is wrong... If you are talking about say the index.php page (home page) you will have to set the defaults in the fields you listed above.... Quote osC Contributions I have published.

jasper98 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 To add additional pages add them to this line : $heading_pages = array('contact_us.php', 'product_reviews.php'); around line 60 in includes/;anguages/english.php <{POST_SNAPBACK}> you mean english/meta_tags.php right? not english.php? All this will do is put the HEADING_TITLE in the <title></title> right? but for my all_products.php page I want it to generate keywords/descriptions like it does for the product_info.php, specials.php, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was finally able to get the product names to display in keywords, but I can't get the category to show up. Guess I'll keep plugging away.

Guest Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 I am sure people will think this is a dumb question I have just installed this contrib and all I have remaining to do is STEP 3 - Edit pages you want to use meta tags on (like index.php, product_info.php etc) Replace <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> with <?php # cDynamic Meta Tags /*<title><?php echo TITLE; ?>*/ require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'meta_tags.php'); # ?> I can not find the files to edit and the code <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> Could some one just point me in the right direction please .

NCR2000 Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I recently installed cDynamic Meta Tags V 1.3a and thought all was well. Install was easy, instructions precise and to the point. After installing it I opened the source code up via IE view-->source and Firefox view -->page source everything is appearing how it should... I was in a happy place.. :) Till I ran a program called "Dynamic Web Ranking" and used the Web Site Optimizer feature... It goes through and give you recommendations on how to improve your keywords and such... To my dismay, it does not list any keywords or descriptions..... might this also be what happens with certain search engines... Can someone put my mind at east and tell me this contrib does report correctly to most search engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Far \horizons Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 I can tell you that this contrib does VERY well in reporting to the search engines. I've tried a number of contribs and for generating Meta tags this is by far the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydney Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 Thank you Clarocque for this contribution. I installed Version 1.3a today and it works great! I just thought that I should point out that in Step 1 of the instructions, the 4th item - reads: includes/functions/meta_tags.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/includes/ directory but should read: includes/functions/meta.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/includes/functions directory I'm sure that most people install it properly based on the directory structure in the download but I missed this and put meta.php directly in my /includes directory and not the /includes/functions directory and had a blank page with an error when I clicked on the product page.

clarocque Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 Yes, others have noticed, but I have not had the time to fix - and now I am seeing how many point that out vs how many will make the change and upload the fix ;) Quote osC Contributions I have published.

dwepplo Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I agree - great contribution. I started installing header controller til I got to the massive cut and paste section and decided I had enough. I wish I had found this first. Everything works great but I'm having a small problem and I haven't found it in the support thread. When I go the product_review page I get the HEADING_TITLE - literally. It puts HEADING_TITLE - Store Name in the title bar. I've been trying to learn some PHP as I go along and I'm wondering if the problem is here: includes/meta_tags.php # other pages }else{ # Title # pages to use HEADING_TITLE loop foreach ($heading_pages as $index => $page){ if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $page) ){ $metatitle=HEADING_TITLE.' - ';}} does this imply a problem with the php version? It's 4.4 Thanks for any help Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwepplo Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Ok - that was kind of obvious. There isn't a HEADING_TITLE for product_reviews.php defined. I can see why this is a default exception page. Is there a way to use the products title? Would it help for indexing?

oldworldcharms Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Can someone tell me where to find the code below. My shop items pages title tags work but I used to have an echo of my shop name after the products name, now I dont. I would like to figure out how get this working again. Thanks $metatitle.=$title .' '.STORE_NAME; Mike, There could be many reasons that it might be slower... Server myql php version etc. It is running queries to get the dat so there is more work to load a pgae and if you have have alot of products and cats it will take long. How many do you have? That is why I built in a cache option to it so there was not the added queries on page load. Look around line 127 for : $metatitle.=$title .' '.STORE_NAME; that is where the store name is loading for the product_info pages. you can comment that line. Chris How many Prods and Cats do you have? What are your server specs?

dwepplo Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Hi, I have a couple of questions. I have a category description. I thought I downloaded a version before this was removed but it is using the default meta page description. Could someone point me to a version that will utilize my category description, or the changes for the meta_tags file. Also I've added a few extra fields to my product descriptions. Can I simply querry for this data and place more values in $product_meta_info ? # get data for the description $desc.=$product_meta_info['products_name']; $man=$product_man_meta_info['manufacturers_name']; $descfull.=$product_meta_info['products_description']; Thanks for any help, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullasoul Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Hello! I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I've spent all day searching these forums, attempting to utilize other's advice, and downright asking for help (see http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=184865 ). I'm using a cart that has already been pre-modified with this contribution by the hosting company. Out of the box it appears to work fine, but today while trying to apply an STS template I kept getting this error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare meta_create_title() (previously declared in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/functions/meta.php:30) in /home/xxxx/public_html/includes/functions/meta.php on line 30 If I take all the code out of meta.php and leave just the comments, the site works fine and the template is in perfect place....but of course this defeats the entire purpose of this contribution :( Any suggestions??
