Header Tags SEO

MikeTurner · August 28, 2008

Hi Jack,

I'd already installed 3.05 but can't see a file in the package for Update_from_V_3.0.5_to_V_3.0.6.

What instructions should I follow to update 3.05?

Thanks

Mike

It appears you don't have header tags titles set for the categories. You need to enable the category option for the home page.

Jack

Thank you Jack.

It seems I must have screwed something else up too. :blush:

When I click Include: Category: then Update, I receive this error - Missing sort orders are not allowed -> index.php

Seems I have made a mess of things... :(

-- EDIT --

Never mind, I solved the problem. DUH

Gesh I need a break away from this keyboard!

Thank you so much Jack for helping me out, truely appreciated! ;)

Hope I wasn't too much of a pain.

Well I'm going fishing!!! :P

Just use the one named Update_from_V_3.0.4_to_V_3.0.6.

Jack,

Thanks it works. Only one thing that has been bugging me which I guess could be an easy fix (unless I've missed it already). When on a category page the category name will get added to the keywords, but what would be really good was if the subcategory names would all be added as well.

For example, I run an equestrian store: neddyup. Under 'For Horse' I have items such as 'Rugs', 'Saddles', 'Bridles' etc. When I look at my 'For Horse' page, I only get the keywords for 'For Horse' rather than showing all of the subcategories which makes up the content for the site and would improve indexing.

Let me know what you think about the idea? - at the moment I have been manually adding the keywords to the parent category every time I add / change a subcategory.

Cheers

Mike

Sorry to be a pain, I clicked to add a pseduo page and it all looked good but then I went back to my site and every page suddenly has a load of code at the top of it it:

"page = 'index.php?cPath=2'; $parts = explode("?",$page); $parts = explode("=", $parts[1]); if (isset($parts[0])) { $found = false; $name = FILENAME_INDEX . "?" . $parts[0] . "="; $pageTags_query = tep_db_query("select * from " . TABLE_HEADERTAGS . " where page_name like '" . $name . "%' and language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'"); if (tep_db_num_rows($pageTags_query) > 0) { while($pageTags = tep_db_fetch_array($pageTags_query)) { if ($name . $_GET[$parts[0]] === $pageTags['page_name']) { $header_tags_array = tep_header_tag_page($pageTags['page_name']); $found = true; break; } } } if (! $found) $header_tags_array = tep_header_tag_page(FILENAME_INDEX); } else"

Looking at the source this code is being generated in the head under the verify-v1 meta tag.

I added a psedo code 'index.php?cPath=2' and now a piece of random code with that address is hardcoded across every page on the site.

my site is neddyup . co . uk.

Any advice would really be appreciated! - I deleted the pseudo page but the random code is still showing

Regards

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll put that on the list for a furture version.

Pseudo mean fake or not real. The page index.php?cPath=2 is a real page so you can't add it that way. It is already part of the index section. Doing what you did has corrupted the includes/header_tags.php file. That will have to be replaced or edited to fix it.

Jack, thanks I'm glad it was so simple to fix, I have replaced the file and its working again! - phew!!

I was trying to use the functionality to add a unique title to each of the category and products pages. Am I right in assuming that this isn't possible in this contribution?

Thanks again!!!

Having unique titles for the category and products pages is one of the main features of the contribution.

Jack

jillbalkus · August 28, 2008

As mentioned in the docs, use the included categories files to troubleshoot problems with that area.

Jack

Hey Jack,

I just installed the Header Tags SEO contribution, and the text I put in the Header Tags Categories Description field only shows up in Categories that have subcategories in it. It doesn't appear for categories that only have products. Should it be?

I'm using the admin/categories.php file that was included with your contribution.

Thanks!

When you say "only shows up in Categories," does that mean in the shop or in admin? Did you run Fill Tags?

Jack

Hey Jack, sorry, I meant that in the shop, I only see the Categories Description that I put in Admin for the top level categories, not the subcategories.

I have a top level category called "Products" and when I go to that in the shop, I see my Categories Description.

There's a subcategory in the Products category called Aromatherapy (which only has products). When I go to the Aromatherapy category in the shop, the Categories Description doesn't show up.

And, yes, I ran fill tags.

Thanks!

Oh, I missed the "description part." There's only two things that can be: the descriptions are not in the admin->Catalog category page or the code for the sub-categories was not added to the index,php file.

Jack

I've added a few descriptions in Admin > Catalog > Category but they don't show up in the shop. I double-checked my index.php code with your install instructions and everything seems to be there. Below is the code. Can you give it a look over?

The website is http://fabulalife.com/catalog. By the way, I'm using STS v4_2 if that makes a difference. Thanks!

Having unique titles for the category and products pages is one of the main features of the contribution.

hmm I must be missing something then?? - My products page works ok and displays both the category the product is in and the product name (as well as the default text of the title).

However on the Categories page I get: 'NeddyUp Equestrian Supplies - NeddyUP' on every category. The title for index.php is set as 'NeddyUp Equestrian Supplies' and not sure where why it is displaying 'NeddyUp' rather than the category name?

Got it working by unticking Category and ticking it again (the sort order was missing)...I had a few problems with updating the words yesterday:

1. There are multiple includes that did not show a sort order but the sort order option box is disabled until you click off and on again.

2. My pages were not taking in to affect the changes made on the admin side. I had to delete the pages in header tags seo, then click 'add missing'. When I defined it again they worked. Is this a bug from the upgrade?

1 - Yes, you have to enable the option to set the sort order.

2 - Maybe. but I can't duplicate it.

Hey Jack, any thoughts on the index.php code I provided? Or, can you tell me where to specifically look for the code for the sub-categories?

Thanks for all your help!

No, sorry, but I don't review code.

Hi Jack - I have no updated to version 3.0.6

I still cannot get categories to not include the index header tags.

Either I am doing something wrong or the code was not designed to soley use category tags for catgeory pages.

Sceanrio:

index.php header tags added, boxes checked category and product

I create a category and give it its header tages

I go to website

I do view source on catgeory page

I see new category tags appended to index page tags.

Please advise.

Btw on the index.php page the root box is not checked.

Many Thanks

Hi Jack,

Sorry... I am back like a bad penny. :P

I am not sure if I am doing things correctly or messing things up (or messed up something in the installation) or if all is ok.

Here's my situation:

I have fill tags (all 3) set to "Fill only empty tags".

When I revisit that page they are back to "Skip all tags".

In the "Page Control" section I have the "Default Tags" set for only the Title - ":: Hande's Hobbies :: .

Now here's where things get a little messy, on the left for filling in the individual pages.

If I leave just - Include > Default Title: ticked/checked all "seems" fine.

Results =

Category - "Car Models"

<head>

<title>:: Hande's Hobbies :: - Car Models</title>

<blah, blah, blah>

Sub-Category - "1920 - 1949"

<head>

<title>:: Hande's Hobbies :: - 1920 - 1949</title>

<blah, blah, blah>

Product Page - "1924 Ford T Roadster w/ trailer"

<head>

<title>:: Hande's Hobbies :: - 1924 Ford T Roadster w/ trailer</title>

<blah, blah, blah>

If I tick/check Include > Category: without a number in the box I receive this message - Missing sort orders are not allowed ->

I'll assume that is a correct function. When I add a number (any number) to Category the message does not appear but I end up with this -

Category - "Car Models"

<head>

<title>:: Hande's Hobbies :: - Car Models</title>

<blah, blah, blah>

Sub-Category - "1920 - 1949"

<head>

<title>:: Hande's Hobbies :: - 1920 - 1949</title>

<blah, blah, blah>

Product Page - "1924 Ford T Roadster w/ trailer"

<head>

<title>:: Hande's Hobbies :: - 1924 Ford T Roadster w/ trailer</title>

<blah, blah, blah>

The Category and Sub-Categories seem to get appended to the end.

Is that normal or did I mess something up?

If it is normal having them on the end, do I want that or turn it off?

Sorry for such a long post and being a pain in the butt. :(

Okay, thanks anyway!

What type of cart are you using? If standard, then I don't have an answer for you. The code does work. It is either due to your setup or installation. If it is STS or BTS, be sure you followed the alternate install instructions.

Hi Jack

I have the standard cart I beleive - oscommerec 2.2rc2

I will go through all the code once more and try and find why it appends the tags, otherwise a work around maybe to reduce the index tag descriptions so that when catgories are added they do not go beyond there maximum legnth

Lastly I still have an issue with adding the big descriptions to the categories and images. On the firts time a create a category the big description is not added if I go back and add the big description the image goes missing.

If you have any last advice here - I will really appreciate it.

Many Thanks

BTW

I think that the code is working correctly.

Even for product_info.php what ever tags I fill in there and then create a new product the new product tags get appended to those I set in header tags seo through admin.

So all I do is not add anything for product_info.php in admin and that way I only get the tags I set in for each product.

Unfortunately this cannot be done for index.php as it will fix the category problem but will mean that the home page has no tags.

I know last time you mentioned that you added a new feature called root maybe I can test that I dont know if that will solve the problem.

Thnaks
