Chicoweb Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 I'm not sure if I"m having a brain fart, but where is the title tag defined in OSC? Is it the store name? Because I tried that and it wasn't changing. Is it in the admin section somewhere or will I have to maunally change it in the DB? Any suggestions?

Caterpillar Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 bump bump Being a newb too what do you mean by title tag? Is this the title on your mainpage (which links to your browser header)? I did post this-don't know if it will help Regards Neil http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=186335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, that will change it stroe wide, which is not good for the search engines. You really should install the Header Tags controller contribution if you want them set up correctly.

xnewbi3x Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 that will change it stroe wide i'm wondering what will that effect? because i am hardcoding every single page in catalog with different meta keyword and description and title and adding those title, keywords, description in the English.php . the only different is i found a dynamic tag controller for product_info.php and i believe it was a ripped version from Meta Tag Controller. and it seem that it grabs the product name and description to its tag, seem pretty ok too me? how does this effect the ranking? do you think this dynamic tag controller for product info is just about enof? becuase as i have posted in other forum, that i having problem installing your constribution, Meta Tag Controller due to my template...

Installing the full version of Header Tags, or even Dynamic meta tags if you prefer, can be difficult so people are opting for easier to install contributions. Setting up a site for the SE's is one of the most important steps a shop owner can take to ensure its success. Taking shortcuts in this area is a bad idea. This is just my opinion and is not meant for anyone in particular. I just thought it should be stated.

Hi Jeff--cool, another chicoan here...This is Rodney here...it is in includes/languages/english.php---this does change it on the whole site though...you could use header tag controller, but depends on your needs...be well bro! :thumbsup: "I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer.

The contributes scare me because the site has been so modified from OSC. :) Yeah, I broke my shop once with it, I think I told you about it...because of the sql query it undid some other sql querys I already did, or else modified them somehow. who knows...I gave up and stick with the title I have and the meta I have for the whole site, it works, I get descent traffic...probably not from google though!

ddp Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 I installed Meta Tag Controller yesterday and it is very nicely laid out. If you make a backup of your site (and database) before you begin any modifications you should be fine. I think it will be worth the effort. Having something like this installed seems to be integral to having useful lisings in Search Engines. BTW did I mention to BACKUP before you begin? Backup before making changes. Backup before making changes! Backup before making changes!! You did do a backup? eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
