Hi,

 

Dont know if this something that the community can help me with. ive got my shop up and running, but ive realised ive not entered any meta tag information, how would i go about this. is it a simple case of just adding it to the site or is there another way. The other thing i would like to do would be to get the product listed in the title of the page. at the moment when a customer views the product info page all thats in the title is the name of the site, can i add to this.

I would suggest paying a visit to the Next Steps/Marketing forum. You'll find a lot of good information and tips there.

 

Be well,

Meta tags are not included in the package so there is nothing for you to update. You need to install a meta tag contribution like Header Tags. It will allow you to set up your meta tags as well as the titles.

Hi :)

 

first of all, if you wanted to change the heading of the page - this is what you have to do

  1. back up your catalog or save a copy of the folder.
  2. open your catalog folders and you'll see folders and php files.
  3. to change the title and to add metatags i reckon this is what you must do..
    open each of those php files in the catalog folder and scroll down until you see this
    <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
    <html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> 
    <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>


    well i rekon you can delete the php echo title and put in ur own title and you should be able to add meta tags between the head section.

I cant see why u wud not be able to do that and if thats not possible I too wud appreciate it if someone cud say Y

That method will have you to display the title and meta tags you enter for that page. However, if those titels and meta tags are not unique for each page, then there is not much reason to add them. For the index.php file, it is broken up into three sections used to display your home page, cateogories and products. The above method would have the same title and meta tags for each of those displays. It gets worse when you look at the product_info.php file. It is used to display all of your products so the above method would give the same title and meta tags for every single one of your products.
