Header Tags SEO

rosiee007 · September 8, 2011

Hi Jack,

This is in reference to the posts which I did earlier in this thread..

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/298099-header-tags-seo/page__st__5620__p__1588495#entry1588495

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/298099-header-tags-seo/page__st__5640__p__1588936#entry1588936

As you mentioned, I upgraded the version to HeaderTags_SEO_V_3.2.6 on the Test subdomain at http://test.sexmedicinonline.com

The problem is that the title tags still do not appear on the pages for the different languages. All the Title Tags and Meta Tags are dumped into the Database (in products_description > products_head_title_tag), which I checked, but they only display for the english version on the pages.

http://test.sexmedicinonline.com/cialis-tabs-p-1.html?language=en (This one shows Cialis English as the Title) but if you check the other language pages, they come up empty.

Please help, I dont understand why the titles are not visible on the pages, but they are in the DB.

Thanks

If you used the manual database script, the languages were probably not setup correctly. If you can't uninstall/install the database now using those files, then try running the test routine and see if it offers a way to correct it.

Hi Jack,

I am PHP/Oscommerce beginner, so please excuse me in advance for any trivial question.

I had installed OScommerce 2.31 and I am actually installing Header Tags SEO v3.2.6.

I did step zero (used headertags_seo_install.php) without problem but when I go to modify the includes/template_top.php file, I cant find the lines as these are in the instructions.

My template_top.php file has the following:

<title><?php echo tep_output_string_protected($oscTemplate->getTitle()); ?></title>

But the install instructions suppose I have to find:

Can you please explain why it happens and what can I do?

Thanks a lot.

Edo.

That happens when one of the changes, probably the social bookmarks in your case, doesn't fit the code design of your shop. You need to determine the code causing the problem and then figure out how to change it so the format doesn't change.

hmmmm i kinda new at this. should i check/edit/delete the social bookmark php that was with the file? I also disabled the display social book mark option. Dont understand why it still messes up even when its disabled

Thank you for mentioning the versions - it saves us both time and trouble. The instructions are incorrect for that change (they will be corrected in the next version) so you can replace the two lines in your file with the new code.

I was just guessing that that was the problem. it may not be. The best thing to do is to replace the file causing the problem with the original one and then make changes to it one at a time until you see the problem. You could also use the included file to be sure you are in the right file and to ensure it works.

Hi Jack, I tried to uninstall it using headertags_seo_uninstall.php file but I got the following error:

<div>

Jack!! Its working now.. Although it gave me an error when I uninstalled the plugin, I reinstalled it using headertags_seo_install.php and edited the Title tags for the products, and its working now for all the languages :)

You're welcome. For others that may have the same problem and see that error, it is just because the file it mentions can't be found due to the uninstall file using an older oscommerce layout and isn't anything to worry about.

Hi Jack, first of all, thanks for you last answer.

I went a head and just I completed the instalation without problems, but now when I go to admin->Header Tags SEO->Fill Tags

(http://www.ippartner.cl/sd/admin/header_tags_fill_tags.php)

and when I run it, after some minutes I receive the following error message and no tags are filled:

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@ippartner.cl and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I had installed and working fine SEO Url 5.0 PRO before to install Header Tags SEO. It is in standar mode.

Please tell me, what would be good things to review for a troubleshooting?

Thanks a lot.

Edo.

Hi again Jack,

this is the message in server log... it tells me nothing, sorry :-(.

[Fri Sep 09 15:40:13 2011] [error] [client 190.101.65.151] File does not exist: /home/ippart/public_html/500.shtml, referer: http://www.ippartner.cl/sd/admin/header_tags_fill_tags.php

Thanks again.

That can happen if you have a large number of products. Try running fill tags but with just once section at a time, like categories.

elara · September 10, 2011

Hi Jack, after a lot of work and solved the problem:-), I really never knew where those were because I did the instalation for header tags fill tags.php and categories.php completelly new. Anyway, actually my instalation of HTSEO is better but I have a new error message :-(.

Failed to load page from shop: http://www.ippartner.cl/sd/product_info.php?products_id=177&language=es

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hello! Pretty neat contribution, I have been enjoying it :D

The other day, I tried adding some sitemap contributions and backed out of them. Well, I messed something up.

Just entering admin->header tags seo->page control makes my site crash and display:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CLASS in /home3/awesomev/public_html/includes/header_tags.php on line 394

Any help would be appreciated. I copy an old file /includes/header_tags.php to keep store up and running for now. I dunno what to do.

Weirdest thing, it seems to replace header_tags.php when you enter header tags seo.

I included the file, use your search feature (f3? ctrl-f? and look for line 394)

Again, any help is great. :D

Thx,

NetEffect (Jack, too!)
