visionz Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Hello all, Noob here, trying to get site working w/ HTC and perhaps some boxes contribs, but one thing at a time... :blink: First, I know I need to get myself on the right page, ie, home=vbrockandgems.com/catalog isn't right. Then, I looked over the addition of Htc, but got confused as to what to do if sts 4.5.8 1 is already onboard... Would anyone have any words of wisdom for me? Wave a magic wand? please...? Thank you! visionz Quote oscommerce-2.2rc2a, PhpMyAdmin - 2.11.4, STSv4.5.8_1, HeaderTags_SEO_V_3.0.1
Jack_mcs Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 The Header Tags Controller is no longer being developed. You should install Header Tags SEO. Besides having additional features, it is easier to install with STS.

I downloaded SEO 3.01, looked in instructions, and became stuck where it says, 'first, follow the initial instructions to htc, and do what htc sez to do... I am completely new to this stuff, don't know the lingo, and have muddled my way through to this point, but it seems the deeper I get, the more confused I am...It just isn't clicking for me as easily as it once was...I'm so sorry... If you happen to know where I'm at here, I could sure use some help! Thank you already for taking the time to make sure I'm headed in right direction! visionz Quote oscommerce-2.2rc2a, PhpMyAdmin - 2.11.4, STSv4.5.8_1, HeaderTags_SEO_V_3.0.1
Jack_mcs Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I just searched all of the files in the conribution and can't find where it says, "follow the initial instructions to htc." Please be more specific with the problem you are having and the steps in the documentation regarding it.

Jack Hey Jack, Thanks for answering...I just copy/pasted some of what I was following from...about 2/3 way down on pg191 in General Contribution Support. QUOTE(bkellum @ Jun 5 2007, 08:30 PM) * Joey, what version of STS are you using? If it is version 4 or higher, then you should not have installed the "catalog" side of the installation instructions to the letter. How to install Header Tags Controller with the Simple Template System v4x: Simple Instructions: HTC installation: Step 1: Make the necessary changes in the DB, like mentionned in the HTC instructions. Step 2: Install the files on the admin side, like mentionned in the HTC instructions. For the catalog side, do NOT follow the HTC instructions, but: Step 3: From the HTC distribution, copy the following files to your store: - catalog\includes\functions\clean_html_comments.php - catalog\includes\functions\header_tags.php - catalog\includes\header_tags.php - catalog\includes\boxes\header_tags.php - catalog\includes\languages\english\header_tags.php (for each language in your shop) STS side installation: Step 4: Download the headertags.php file located on the STS Power Pack site. You can find this file in the very first contribution (dated August 14, 2006). Here is the link: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4456 Step 5: Copy the headertags.php module (from the download above) to the following folder in your store: - catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/headertags.php Step 6: Go to your admin panel, Modules, STS. - For each module installed, add 'headertags.php' to the list of files to include. For example: - In the Default Module, you have a parameter named 'Files for normal template'. By default it contains only 'sts_user_code.php'. If you modify this parameter to 'sts_user_code.php;headertags.php' you will have Header Tags Controller working for all of the pages using the default template. Do the same for the Index module and the Product_info Module. - Index Module: the parameter is called 'Files for index.php template'. - Product_info Module: there are 2 parameters: 'Files for normal template' and 'Files for content template. Step 7: Be sure you have the following line of code at the beginning of your includes/header_tags.php file: require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'clean_html_comments.php'); - or - require_once(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'clean_html_comments.php'); Step 8: Operate HTC as you normally would from the admin according to the HTC instructions. -------------------------------- If all of the above is too daunting for you, I have bundled the two contributions together into one seamless install package located in the STS4 Power Pack site (http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4456). Hope this has helped you out in getting STSv4.5.2 and HTCv2.6.3 installed and working well with each other, Thank you for pointing me to this contribution. I installed it, but all I get now is a blank page for a store. I'll nitpick at it tomorrow to see where I might've gone wrong. If anyone might have any ideas, I'd love to hear them. http://www.specterstore.com Quote oscommerce-2.2rc2a, PhpMyAdmin - 2.11.4, STSv4.5.8_1, HeaderTags_SEO_V_3.0.1
Jack_mcs Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Those aren't instructions from Header Tags SEO. If you want to use the Header Tags Controller contribution, then you should ask in the STS support thread. Bill will probably help you with whatever problem you are having.
