Meta tag trouble

>_< "Painful php rookie frustration." I pretty much got my osStore together, just needed to put it up on some search engines. Today, I tried the meta tag contributions, starting with the oldest/simplest (I guess..) but it replaced my home site with dreadful errors. So, I replaced all the files, then moved onto the most recent "Meta tags 3.0a.zip." I entered the suggested meta_tags table, coding, and loaded the files. This time, the index.php loaded, but with a "1146 - Table 'd60244149.TABLE_COUNTER' doesn't exist..." at the bottom of the page. Plus, all of the catagory links returned errors. Again, I replaced all the old files, but am still left with this "table_counter doesn't exist" error. This is difficult... www.homeradiance.biz

 

On another note, I downloaded the Google sitemap contribution, but google needs a url and won't accept the "google...php" file as a target. Do I use my homepage url?

 

Lastly, I saw a header tag contribution for meta tags, but it seems more confusing than anything :'( Does anyone have any novice friendly advice? I just want my site to show up on Google somewhere. Anything is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much :D

I would try this meta tag mod. I use it and it's the most easiest and less painful. like two or three lines to add. Download the most recent full package then just insert the bug fixes from there up to recent.

As far as the google sitemap goes, yes you need to enter the absoulte path to the google sitemap.php file.

 

I.E. if you store is in the root which I assume it is. then it would be something like

 

www.homeradiance.biz/sitemap.php

 

or

 

www.homeradiance.biz/FOLDER STORE IS IN/sitemap.php

 

Good Luck

 

Your first problem I can't help you with

Search the forum and contributions before posting. If that doesn't work, keep looking, then post. The forum is for seeking help and advice NOT for someone to do your work for you. Try to do something on your on, if you are going to run a shop then learn how it works.

did you override the incorrect database_table.php file? The TABLE_COUNTER error indicates the table is not defined within that file. There are 2 main components of osc. Admin and Catalog. Many core files have the same filenames between the 2 but the content is different. Check if you accidentally overrided files on the wrong folder.

You know, I think I did switch the admin/database_tables with the regular database_tables.. Thank you for pointing that out.. I never would have noticed that. :lol:
