vjboc Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 I just came across the contrib for basic meta tags 1.1. I placed step 5 below , I don't understand and I can't find that code. Is this even worth my time? Or is there something better? 5. Find the first and second instance of this code: (there are 3 instanced in the index.php file , only replace the 2 first ones) <?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?> Replace with: <?php echo HEADING_TITLE_NEW; ?>
germ Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 You have a template. The contributions are generally written for application to "stock" osC code. Your template may not have that code. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

vjboc Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 Is there a way I can add that feature to my site? I would like the meta tags on all my pages. I added the "title page add on" yesterday and it works fine.
germ Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 If I were you, I'd just skip that part for now. It really has litttle to do with the meta tags. And for GOD's sake backup what you have before making edits!!! Applying a contribution to a template is risky business at best... :blush: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

vjboc Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 Thanks for the heads up Jim, I appreciate it. Yes I do back up stuff before I try new. I would like to have the best seo that I could have for the site. Titles do help for seo right? It would be great to have the description, keyword and urls of the products. If there's a way let me know.
germ Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I looked at the stock osC code and this isn't the title of the page so I fail to see how it can affect SEO very much. It's not the "title" tag in the <head> section. It's text farther down in the <body> (text in a place your template has no text - at all). If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
