NEED HELP WITH STRANGE PROBLEM (Reward for solution)


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hey everyone

 

I have run into a strange problem where I cannot find an answer to, or any logical reason why it is happeneing. On my oscommerce stores, the title at the top bar of my browser changes from the store name, Brand to OsCommerce on certain pages.

 

For example, when looking at a product the broswer title reads Brand. When you click on 'my account' it changes to OsCommerce.

 

if you want to see exactly what I am talking about, check out the store

 

I am also running multiple stores, and my clients have stated they want this problem changed, and I can't find ANY way to fix it.

 

So anyone willing and able to help me fix this problem I will happily reward them with a free shirt shipped to them.

It does actually say osCommerce on all the pages. However, you or someone, has hardcoded another <title> above the <head> of all the pages, except login.php, like so:

 

<title>Brand Apparel</title><!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html dir="LTR" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>osCommerce</title>
<base href="http://brand-clothing.com/apparel/">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>

 

You need to remove that extra <title> and name the store to Brand Apparel from the admin/configuration

 

Or you once you have removed it, you could install Header Tag Controller which will give what <title> you want per page, plus some meta tag keywords and descriptions.

I'm pretty sure that you are on a pre-Nov12 install and that your title is set to "osCommerce" in catalog/includes/languages/english.php, probably line 48

 

// page title

define('TITLE', 'osCommerce');

 

 

I agree though that you need to remove that hardcoded title

<title>Brand Apparel</title>

it's definitely in the wrong spot at the very beginning of your file - and you will no longer need it anyway as soon as you have changed the language file.

// page title

define('TITLE', 'osCommerce');

Have you configured your store name in the osCommerce Admin control panel (/catalog/admin/)? Under, Configuration -> My Store -> Store Name, it is set to osCommerce by default.
