GemRock Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 the reasons for a blank page could too many to list - you may list 100 but miss one which happens to the very reason! so without actually working/looking at the site in question, i can only suggest you double check your installation at the admin side, eg, make sure you dont upload a language file as a script file (with same name as the language file but much bigger file size) by mistake.

aldiazg Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Hello, i've installed the Header Tags For Novices V3.0 and i have a problem. The first part works very good (it automatically generate the title tag, the description tag and the keywords tag). I have installed the headers_tags_edit too, and i have a problem with it. From the backoffice i can fill and update the form with the Page Title Tag, Description Tag and Keywords Tag. The form updates them succesfully, and in the database, i can see that the fields title_tag, desc_tag and keywords_tat have the text i've entered in the product i was updating. But the problem is that at the website, the tags are the automatically generated, not the tags i've entered in this product. Any suggestion?? Thank you very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester420247sl Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I hope this is an easy question to answer and an easy problem to fix. I just installed this contribution, and prior to this I also had a similar problem. My websites title is E-Commerce even though I have set the Store Name in the configuration. Any suggestions on how to fix this simple problem? My headers look like this when iI look at the source "Custom - Devil Sticks - E-Commerce" when it should be "Custom - Devil Sticks - My Sites Name". Thanks for any help you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester420247sl Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) One more thing, the catagory is showing up in the meta tags with no space between the actual item and the catagory so my metatags look like "Stone PipesPipes" when what I want is "Stone Pipes Pipes" or just "Stone Pipes" without the catagory. What is the easiest and best way to fix this? I am thinking I just need to alter the products_information.php code a little to prevent this.

jester420247sl Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I found the code I need to remove, it was the . strip_tags($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(', ')) in the poduct_information.php now my meta tags dont have so much redundant info.

jester420247sl Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I still have the "E-Commerce" issue though on all the titles of my pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemRock Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 I still have the "E-Commerce" issue though on all the titles of my pages. the Title is defined in eg, english.php, not the store name. for any other issues, you need to say what version you use and where you get it from. always remember to download the instructions posted at google code site or my site. the forum failed to send out emails to me...dont know why...i saw your question by accident.

larryjam Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I still have the "E-Commerce" issue though on all the titles of my pages. In your admin panel, under Tools / Define Languages / english.php find this or something similar // page title define('TITLE', STORE_NAME); the above is how my page title is set and 'STORE_NAME' displays my store name in my page titles. You can change this to anything you want. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 Hi I have installed SEO Dynamic Header Tags V4 and I have a couple of problems. It all seemed to go ok but i can only view 3 products within the admin section. It will not let me show more than that despite there being a drop down list to select 10, 20 30 Etc. I have also tried entering just a couple of test keywords into the corresponding boxes and then clicked update to which it says that they have been updated. When however i then view the product page source it has not placed the keywords into the product page, they remain empty. I am obviously missing something any help would be appreciated. I am using Oscommerce v2.2 RC2a. I dont receive any errors or nothing just will not place the keywords in as said and will only let me view 3 products or 3 categories. I have gone over everything twice but cannot see any steps I have missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemRock Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 ...I have gone over everything twice but cannot see any steps I have missed. did you download the installation (v2) from the googlecode site or from my website (which is the latest version)? this contribution generates the least support issue as it does not require lots of modifications to your site if you follow the instructions.

GemRock Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) I have had a quick look at it. it appears the categories part is working OK ( i tested it by enetring title. desc & keywords) and the rows per page. so my suggestion is first to reupload the products header tags file. btw, are you using a template shop?

Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Hi Ken think you may have gone but there is no products header tags file in the download unless its called something else. I have reuploaded all files to the server and as you say the categories is working fine its just the products one now. Hopefully when you get time you could perhaps see the reason as to why its not functioning. Thanks for your time today.

GemRock Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 sorry by that i meant: header_tags_edit.php, which is about 18KB in size. make sure you use the one from my googlecode site.

Guest Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) Done that but still no joy. Done it twice now. Thanks in advance. Does it matter if its ASCII or Binary upload format? Edited May 23, 2009 by pgreen50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemRock Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 (edited) you are NOT using the newest header_tags_edit.php as far as i can see. so get it from my signature (click on Contribution). depending on you FTP application, you can use Auto or binary, but NOT ASCII. Ken edit: sorry, you are but the one on the googlecode site is a bit out of date.
