Thanks in advance!!!The Header Tags SEO contribution is usually the better way to go if you do not already have a meta tags contribution installed since it will handle both jobs in one. If you do have one installed, then the Categories Description contribution, as suggested, will work.

Which version should I use? Or should I just install "Category Description" instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 It should run with that version. There's nothing wrong with installing the categories description contribution except that if you ever decide to install Header Tags, it will be more difficult.

Jack Actually I only want to add some descriptions for the categories. What do Header Tags give me more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Oscommerce doesn't come setup for meta tags so if you ever want your pages to list well in the search engines, you will need to install one of the meta tags contributions. Sooner or later, you will most likely make this change. If you decide to install Header Tags, then you will have difficulties due to Categories Description being installed so it is better to install it from the beginning.

gamesxs Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hi Jack, Have a question, you helped me to write code to do my own cat descriptions, will this make it difficult for me to put your header tags contribution on my site? Because in time I will want header tags and meta tags! Site is www.joicohair.net Thanks Gary if I had the faintest clue regarding exactly what it was that I may or may not be doing, I would stop it!!

Jack_mcs Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 The difficulty comes about because the same section of code is used to display the descriptions. So you can only have one contribution working at a time. So if you have altered that code and then decide to install Header Tags, it can be done but the instructions in Header Tags won't match your code so it will be a little more difficult to install it.

Chronoz Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for but what I want to change is this: But I want to change it for each category that I have, because one them will say: This Week's Comics another will say Last Week's Comics, etc. I was just wondering if this is the tool to do that and if not is there one or is it just a configuration that I have to do somewhere? Thanks in advanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Header Tags will do that. I don't know for sure about Categories Descriptions.
