cherylanns Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I have searched the forums and haven't found an answer to my question, but if it has been asked and answered, I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction to the answer. I cannot seem to make 'products new home' disappear from the top of the browser. For example, my category is Amish Quilts, manufacturer is Quilts, and product title is Brown New Broken Star. The header of my browser shows Amish Quilts - Quilts - new product home - Brown New Broken Star. What am I missing? The installation went smoothly (thanks so much for the easy to read instructions!) and I have been having fun filling in all the keywords and information for products, categories and manufacturers (ok, no so much fun as easy). On the Fill tags, I have marked Fill all Tags on each column (but when I check again, they are back to skip). Help! :) Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayo23 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I want to change the order in which the header tags list the different elements within each different tag. For example, the title tag in a product page shows the default header text first followed by the product name at the end; eg. My great online shop - Large Widget I would like to turn this around so the product name lists first - before the default text. Is there a setting somewhere that will do this or will I need to change some code in the header_tags.php.

It needs to be deleted from there, as well as the other default pages (specials and all of the product reviews). For the Fill Tags, please read the text to the right of that section for an explanation of that action.

Worked perfectly but it leaves an extra '-' in the title. ??

mayo23 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 You need to change the sort order numbers in Page Control for that page. Jack Sorry, can't see any reference to Sort Order in the Page Control. I am happy using the default settings in product_info.php, I just want to put the product name BEFORE the default Title/Description/Keyword. For instance, currently my title for one of my products is; Fancy Dress Costumes - Costume Fun - UK's leading online Fancy Dress Shop - Adult Pirate Costume I want this to read; Adult Pirate Costume - Fancy Dress Costumes - Costume Fun - UK's leading online Fancy Dress Shop I can't see any settings within the Page Control section that allows me to change this order. I am assuming that I will have to change some code within the php files. Can anyone either clarify how to change the sort order in the Page Control section or let me know which part of the code to change so I can have this set up as the default setting.

Example: Amish Quilts - Quilts - - Broken StarIf you removed the text from the product page but didn't uncheck the root checkbox, that will happen.

Jack_mcs Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Sorry, can't see any reference to Sort Order in the Page Control. As mentioned, you need to read the instructions. There's a whole paragraph on the sort order.

mayo23 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 As mentioned, you need to read the instructions. There's a whole paragraph on the sort order. Jack Thanks for the help. However, I don't think I explained the problem properly. The Part I want to move to the front is not a keyword, but the actual name of the product that the code extracts from a query. The instructions that I have read about sort order only appear to be about ordering the defined keywords. I need the php array redefined. I'll have a look myself and let you know if I find it.

Jack_mcs Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 You can add the code to make the extra database call in includes/functions/header_tags.php and merge the word in there but I don't see how that would work with more than one product.

josephicon Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Does this contrib add the H1, H2, to subcategory index pages? If so where is it done. I dont see such a change, only at the if ($category_depth == 'nested') { section ANd of course thanks for the contrib. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunnenkoenig Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) I can't add keywords and description to the index file... Why? I use STS and many other contributions. EDIT: On some pages everything shows up. On some pages only Title and Keywords show up and on some pages nothing shows up. On index only the Title shows up.

Yes, if you search the install instructions, you will see where h1 is used in different places.

EDIT: On some pages everything shows up. On some pages only Title and Keywords show up and on some pages nothing shows up. On index only the Title shows up. Have you ran the test script? Besides that, you need to determine if STS is at fault or not. Try disabling it as mentoned previusly in this thread (you'll need to make additional edits).

Hunnenkoenig Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 The test page doesn't give any error. I made everything, what the install files said. I will try to disable STS and test.

Jack_mcs Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 Sorry, I searched the topic, but I had no time to read trough 90 pages :-) No need to.

Hunnenkoenig Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) I installed the whole daamn thing from scratch. I only installed standard osCommerce, STS (it said, I have to install STS first) and this contribution, but I still can't add keywords and descriptions to the index files. The problem is the same, like before. I didn't make any change to the original files, only those, which were stated in the install files. If I disable STS, I get this on test page: Test ResultsMissing Code in File The Header Tags head code for the index.php file cannot be found. The Header Tags head code for the product_info.php file cannot be found. The Header Tags head code for the product_reviews.php file cannot be found. The Header Tags head code for the product_reviews_info.php file cannot be found. The Header Tags head code for the product_reviews_write.php file cannot be found. The Header Tags head code for the specials.php file cannot be found. Language Mismatch Error: ERROR_LANGUAGE_MISMATCH_DB ERROR_LANGUAGE_MISMATCH_HT If I give this to the index.php, and disable STS, then it works fine: <?php/*** Begin Header Tags SEO ***/ if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php') ) { require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php'); } else { ?> <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> <?php } /*** End Header Tags SEO ***/ ?> Edited December 19, 2008 by Hunnenkoenig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunnenkoenig Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Wohooo! I could manage it somehow. I added in STS everywhere "sts_user_code.php;headertags.php" and now it works. The funny thing is, I did it already once also, when I installed this contribution to the full site (not the standard install). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vali29 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I appreciate if some body they help me to have the following sequence in TITLE for product_info: Warner - DVD Movies - Drama - Beloved BRAND - TOP CATEGORY - SUBCATEGORY - PRODUCT NAME Thank you! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 21, 2008 Author Share Posted December 21, 2008 That can't be done without editing the code since the contribution isn't setup to handle full category paths.

markoven Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Jack, My question is: when I'm in de "page control" and press on "view result" I see red empty space, while the index.php tags are filled with words. But the meta tags are working on the shop, is this normal or? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Jack, My question is: when I'm in de "page control" and press on "view result" I see red empty space, while the index.php tags are filled with words. But the meta tags are working on the shop, is this normal or? There is something that is preventing the code from reading the page. I recently saw this happen with a shop that has an IP blocker contribution installed. There's no way to determine what the problem is from here but it has to do with your setup.

markoven Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Hi Jack, You are right about that, I've an ip blocker installed, does it matter for ranking or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 As long as it isn't blocking the search engines, I can't think of any problems it might cause.

MontanaMan Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Jack: Thanks for an excellent contrib. After installing it, I'm having display problems on pages with German text selected. English text is fine, but German bumps the right column to the bottom of the page: Here is the english page properly displayed: http://kashuen.com/winter-skiiing-snow-swa...tml?language=en Here is the German page with problems: http://kashuen.com/winter-skiiing-snow-swa...tml?language=de Any ideas? Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
