Header Tags SEO

Recommended Posts

I get the following Error Message after I used the header_tags_seo_convert.php:

Warning: main(includes/languages/german/header_tags_seo.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/vhosts/myshop.de/httpdocs/shop/admin/header_tags_seo_convert.php on line 171

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/languages/german/header_tags_seo.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /srv/www/vhosts/myshop.de/httpdocs/shop/admin/header_tags_seo_convert.php on line 171

 

You answered:

The error is saying it can't find the includes/languages/german/header_tags_seo.php. If you look in the includes/languages/german/ directory, is there a header_tags_seo.php file? [No there isn't]

Further you said that this file should be there from the original installation of "HeaderTags_V_2.6.3". It isn't in the zip file.

 

So I still have no idea where this file is :( Do you?

At the moment, all my Titles, Descriptions, etc are just empty!

OK, let me try again since we are talking about two different contributions here. The Header Tags Controller contribution had a file in includes/languages/english/ and if you wanted to use that contribution with a different language, you would have had to copy that file to the other language directory, like includes/languages/german/. On the other hand, Header Tags SEO does not use language files on the shop side. The code for it never looks in that directory so it doesn't matter what you put there, it simply won't see it. So, with that in mind, if you are getting an error message saying the language file cannot be found, you have to have code from the Header Tags Controller installed. Untill you fix your installation, it won't work.

The default section, while in Page Control, is usually not included when I say to go to Page Control. It is called the Default section. I know that is confusing but the only way around it was to put the default column into its own section and I thought that would cause more work. In general, when you have something in the default section enabled, it is included in any page setup for Header Tags that does not have entries setup. If you do have entries set up, like in index.php, you have to check the default checkboxes for that page if you want to include it with the other items for that page. Typically, for pages like that, it is not a good idea to include the default text since, usually, it is setup similar to the home page and will cause duplicate entries. I hoped that cleared up the confusion but please ask again if not.

 

Hello Jack,

 

Then my installation works perfect ! Thanks a lot.

It took me long though to eventually uncheck this default option,

but got it now :)

 

Remains, with good ranking as I go online with it, to be soon able

to reward most of the masterful contributors work I stuffed my sites with.

 

Thanks + Best regards

i need some help

product name disappear after installation.

 

any idea ?

Since not enough information was given, I can only guess. Assuming the problem is in the admin side, then you should read the troubleshooting section of the admin install file for how to fix that.

Hi everybody! Happy New Year!

 

Thanks for the contribution, it is very helpful.

 

I was wondering if anybody has ever moved or changed the php code that is added to catalog/index.php as part of the install for seo header tags 3.15 so that in the content for the sub catagories pages, the product will show first and then the Header Tags Categories Description at the end?

 

Currently when you install Seo Header Tags When you click on a sub catagory from the catagory box, it will take you to the sub catagory page showing the content of that page, which will list the Header Tags Categories Description first and then the product catagories. The problem for me is my Header Tags Categories Description is quite long and puts the product catagories to the bottom of the page, which don't look good.

 

If anyone has done this before, please reply on how to do it. I can cut and paste code but as far as moving multiple entries in php that are inter twine with the existing code I don't have a clue.

 

I searched for this and can not find with the keywords that I used.

 

Any help is appreciated! Again thanks for wonderful contribution!

 

Thanks!

Joe

I have installed:

Oscommerce version 2.2rc2a, STS version 4.5.8, Header Tags SEO version 3.1.5, SEO Assistant version 2.1

 

Thanks

I am trying to increase my seo performance. I was ready to add a result on google. I copied and pasted my url which correspondes to the search result. For some reason, the title tag that google finds on that page is different to what it is on the actual page. And the description is also different.

 

http://www.hasaudio.co.nz/index.php?manufacturers_id=10

 

Here is the url.... title tags are what I want, but google picks up my index title tag, and the description is incorrect

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks

Your template is preventing the text on the page from displaying correctly, or maybe Header Tags wasn't installed correctly since the procedure is different for templates like that or maybe you didn't set it up correctly. For example, if you click on the category Cable, you'll see there's not a browser title set at all and the page title says Categories, both of which are wrong.

I just noticed that the titles on my products have duplicate manufacturer names. How can I get rid of this? I have tried different settings in the admin tool but I can't seem to remove the duplicate name. The duplicate only shows up in the Title, not the Description nor the Keywords.

 

<title>Men's Colognes - Ralph Lauren - Ralph Lauren - CHAPS COLOGNE 1 OZ.</title>

 

I would like it to just be:

<title>Men's Colognes - Ralph Lauren - CHAPS COLOGNE 1 OZ.</title>

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the help so far

My guess is that you have the default title checkbox checked in page control for that page. Or maybe you entered the name in the root box and it is also in the products title.

You have to change the code so the contribution is installed correctly. Google see something that isn't there.

With regards the cable category, it wasnt displayed last night because i hadnt finished adding the titletags etc. When you suggest a result on google, you insert the url in the space provided, and you click preview, should the current titletag/description etc show, or does google need to update there index before this appears?

That was it, thanks Jack for a great contribution! It was the default tag that was set. I guess I didn't really understand how the default tag worked but I understand it now.

 

Thanks again!

Okay. I didnt install it. Some guy replied to a question on here and he has been working on it. I wouldnt have a clue on what to do, so hes going to have to change something. Would you have an idea as to what to change?

It varies with the template so there's no one answer.

Don't bother submitting to google. They, most likely, already have your home page indexed and will search the other pages over time. Submitting won't increase the chances of that happening.

I have everything installed and working or so it seems. The only thing I can't figure is the Social Bookmark links. I`ve searched this topic and read everything that came up for Social Bookmark and no one seems to have this issue so I`m thinking I must have done something wrong.

 

When I click let's say on the Facebook one to have a particular page link sent there, it's always the home page that gets linked. In the bottom left corner of the screen where you get a preview of the link behind the icon, it shows "http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com&title=Categoriename" is that accurate or did I goof somehow? BEcause when I do get to Facebook, everything after the domain.com gets stripped and I end up with the home page for every page that I try to do this with.

 

Thanks for any help.

I don't have a FB account so I can only go so far but I see that the title is not being accepted for some reason. I checked the code and the title is there and it does get sent to other sites so it must be something FB has done, probably changed their url format. I'll put that on the list to look into but I don't know when it will be.

Thanks for the quick reply...

 

It's doing the same thing on Yahoo and Twitter... so I'm not sure that it's them more then it's something I did somehow.

 

Thanks again

If the product or category page you are on has a valid title in the browser, then it isn't anything you are doing wrong. But if the title is not filled in, then that would cause a problem. The code for the categories bookmark only uses the real category name, not the Header Tags one, which is probably a mistake on my part, but you should see some title there.

I don't know if it will be helpful or not but I've sent you a couple of examples of real links so that you have have a peak. Just in case I'm missing something or not offering some needed information.

When I visited the link you sent to a category on your site and click on the FB icon, he title of that category was sent to FB. You can see that if you click in the url box and scroll to the end.

That's what I saw too but I don't know enough to know why everything gets stripped at the "&". And it's not only FB... it's all those that I've tried that I'm a member of. What could it be? Browser issue or maybe because I'm on a Windows server? If you have it working somewhere that you can share a link to, I'd really like to see. Maybe we can compare what's different from my own set up.

 

Thanks still.

Okay. But you definitely think the addon isnt installed correctly? The programmer seems to think its working perfectly fine. He says google wont pick up the new title tags until they crawl the site again which could be a month or so away....depending of course.

It's either not installed correctly or you haven't set it up correctly. If you go to admin->catalog and edit a category, there is a place for the header tags title and categories description (large box at the bottom). Whatever you put in those fields should appear on that category page in the shop. But since all of your categories have the same name, something is not right.
