Hiya :)

 

I hope some of you can help me as I have a few questions regarding my oscommerce shop.

 

1) Where are the meta tags for me to change?

 

2) How do I turn on/add a newsletter box which I keep seeing on other oscommerce shops but I cannot find it in my admin section.

 

3) How do I add an extra page to the shipping, conditions, about us area?

 

4) Is it possible to add a blank info box where I can add something of my own?

 

Sorry to bombard you all but I have been searching for an hour on here and am just getting more confused!

 

Thanks to you all in advance :)

 

Sal :thumbsup:

Hi Sal I can answer one of your questions:

 

1) Where are the meta tags for me to change?

You can install a contribution called "header tags controller" that allows us complete control of your headertags.

Based on OsCommerce 2.2 MS2 - Mods Including: Customer Approval, STS Template System, OS-CMS, Sage Line 50 Sync, Locate a Stockist, Auto Thumbnailer, Easy Populator, Visitors Stats, Extra Images, Header Tags Controller, Unsold Cart, Products w/o Description/Prices/Images Reports, Backup Customers Table, Login to See Prices. Full customised products_info.php page. OSC Links Manager. Minimum Order Amount. Visitor Web Stats. Google Sitemap. All products page (user sitemap).

 

The OsCommerce Site is hosted on 1 domain with 20 feeder domains extracting data from OS-CMS & the shop catalogue.

 

If you would like to view my website in relation to any of my posts you can google my forum username to find my URL or add a (dot)co(dot)uk to the end of it.

Hi Sal,

 

There is a contribution called Extra Pages which will do what you have indicated.

Oh crikey that means installing mods and things doesn't it? eeeeeek! :o :sweating: :wacko:

 

Hi Sal,

 

Yes it does but as daunting as it may seem it's not that hard, step by step instructions follow;

 

1]when you find the contribution you want download it to a file on your machine (*TIP- I usually save mine in Local Disk (C:) Create a new folder such as "OSC extra page contrib")

 

2]unzip and save the file to your new folder

 

3]go to the new folder and open it, inside it should have a read me file with instructions on which folder/s the files need to be uploaded to.

 

I am just about to upload the extra pages contribution myself so if you have any trouble just let me know and I will try and help you further if I am able to.

 

Cheers

Ros
