nickschick Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 I recently bought a complete site, but one that does not have any meta tags set-up. I have absolutely zero knowledge of php so anything anyone advises me will have to be spelt out. I have been looking around trying to sort out these tags on my own, I did download Header Tags Controller v2.2 but even this was beyond me so I did not even attempt it! For the time being I only want tags on the main page so I can at least submit it - nothing fancy or too complicated. I read somewhere that I can place ordinary tags on the Index.php page so I took a looked at it, but thought where? This is from someone who only knows html. My index.php page looks like this: <?php /* $Id: index.php,v 1.1 2003/06/11 17:38:00 hpdl Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright © 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ define('TEXT_MAIN', '<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-gb"> <p> <img border="0" src="http://www.website name removed/catalog/images/1.jpg" width="230" height="323"><img border="0" src="http://www..website name removed/catalog/images/2.jpg" width="244" height="323"><img border="0" src="http://www..website name removed/catalog/images/3.jpg" width="244" height="323"></p> '); define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s'); define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products'); define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected'); if ( ($category_depth == 'products') || (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'])) ) { define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Let's See What We Have Here'); define('TABLE_HEADING_IMAGE', ''); define('TABLE_HEADING_MODEL', 'Model'); define('TABLE_HEADING_PRODUCTS', 'Product Name'); define('TABLE_HEADING_MANUFACTURER', 'Manufacturer'); define('TABLE_HEADING_QUANTITY', 'Quantity'); define('TABLE_HEADING_PRICE', 'Price'); define('TABLE_HEADING_WEIGHT', 'Weight'); define('TABLE_HEADING_BUY_NOW', 'Buy Now'); define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS', 'There are no products to list in this category.'); define('TEXT_NO_PRODUCTS2', 'There is no product available from this manufacturer.'); define('TEXT_NUMBER_OF_PRODUCTS', 'Number of Products: '); define('TEXT_SHOW', '<b>Show:</b>'); define('TEXT_BUY', 'Buy 1 ''); define('TEXT_NOW', '' now'); define('TEXT_ALL_CATEGORIES', 'All Categories'); define('TEXT_ALL_MANUFACTURERS', 'All Manufacturers'); } elseif ($category_depth == 'top') { define('HEADING_TITLE', 'What's New Here?'); } elseif ($category_depth == 'nested') { define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Categories'); } ?> I would be really grateful if someone could tell me whereabouts in this code I put my meta-tags. Cheers and indebted to you, Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 That's the wrong index.php file. You need to place your meta tags in the <head> section of the root level index.php file. You'll see that there are some meta tags already there. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I needed it spelt out... :D Somebody told me to go here: public_html/catalog/includes/languages/English/index.php That's where I got the above file.

Regards, Michelle <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dear folks, I think I have finally figured this one out and that the file I needed was actually: public_html/catalog/index.php Does anybody know if the tag should be: <meta name .... etc. rather than <META NAME... or does 'shouting' not matter?
