Header Tag Controller and Admin

gordanab · March 6, 2003

Hi, a quick question- how do I know I installed the Header Tag Controller and Admin correctly? What a I looking for?

I went through all of the steps in the instructions for both contributions and my site seems to be working fine even on checkout but I can't tell if I installed these mods right. I don't notice anything different in my admin - unless I overlooked something before I installed these mods.

Thanks in advance for your help.

In Admin, in the product creation page, you should see new text boxes to enter the header tages, header description, and header keywords for each product.

In the Cataglog, in the header_tags.php or whatever it is called, you have to define these threee things for any page that you wish to have a unique header for.

You can flip through my website if you will. Pay particular attention to the Title bar at the very top as you go through some of the pages, and you will see how it works.

Keep in mind that this is a live store, please don't test any orders.

Thank you!! I finally found the time to sit down and figure out what I was doing wrong with the Header Controller. Luckily it was just two very tiny }and else ifs that were giving me parse errors but once i fixed them now I can see that it's definately working.

You have a great site BTW. Do you find it's harder to do mods after you've put all of your products into the database? I've been trying to get all of my mods done before I really build the site but it's taking so long I'm thinking I might just need to take the plunge before all of my extra features are installed.

Thanks for your help.

I installed Header Tag Controller Admin and I had two parse error as well. I made some changes to the code and I am wondering if I was doing it right:

In Header Tag Controller Admin, it says:

In admin/categories.php

Find the following (approx line 568)

} elseif ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'new_product') {

if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']) && (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) ) {

$product_query = tep_db_query("select pd.products_name, pd.products_description, pd.products_url, p.products_id, p.products_quantity, p.products_model, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_weight, p.products_date_added, p.products_last_modified, date_format(p.products_date_available, '%Y-%m-%d') as products_date_available, p.products_status, p.products_tax_class_id, p.manufacturers_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['pID'] . "' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "'");

$product = tep_db_fetch_array($product_query);

Replace with the following

} elseif ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'new_product') {

if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']) && (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) ) {

$product_query = tep_db_query("select pd.products_name, pd.products_description, pd.products_head_title_tag, pd.products_head_desc_tag, pd.products_head_keywords_tag, pd.products_url, p.products_id, p.products_quantity, p.products_model, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_weight, p.products_date_added, p.products_last_modified, date_format(p.products_date_available, '%Y-%m-%d') as products_date_available, p.products_status, p.products_tax_class_id, p.manufacturers_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['pID'] . "' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "'");

$product = tep_db_fetch_array($product_query);

But I could not find

} elseif ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'new_product') {

in my admin/categories.php

but I only found:

if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'new_product') {

if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']) && (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) ) {

$product_query = tep_db_query("select pd.products_name, pd.products_description, pd.products_url, p.products_id, p.products_quantity, p.products_model, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_weight, p.products_date_added, p.products_last_modified, date_format(p.products_date_available, '%Y-%m-%d') as products_date_available, p.products_status, p.products_tax_class_id, p.manufacturers_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['pID'] . "' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "'");

$product = tep_db_fetch_array($product_query);

so I replaced that with:

if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] == 'new_product') {

if ( ($HTTP_GET_VARS['pID']) && (!$HTTP_POST_VARS) ) {

$product_query = tep_db_query("select pd.products_name, pd.products_description, pd.products_head_title_tag, pd.products_head_desc_tag, pd.products_head_keywords_tag, pd.products_url, p.products_id, p.products_quantity, p.products_model, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_weight, p.products_date_added, p.products_last_modified, date_format(p.products_date_available, '%Y-%m-%d') as products_date_available, p.products_status, p.products_tax_class_id, p.manufacturers_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = '" . $HTTP_GET_VARS['pID'] . "' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "'");

$product = tep_db_fetch_array($product_query);

May I ask if I was doing this right?

Luke99 · April 10, 2003

Elmo, I was wondering about the same thing...

Line 568: "if" but no "elseif"???

Did your solution work out??

Elmo · April 10, 2003

Hi Luke, yes it works out fine with no problem for me! :D

Luke99 · April 10, 2003

Thanks Elmo! I did the same.

But i've just entered the tags in the prod section and it will NOT save the text???? :shock:

Must have done something wrong....

:roll:

Luke99 · April 10, 2003

Sure enough, I had entered the code incorrectly

Now, how can I set the switch so it only shows the default tags when there are NO entries in the tables??

Right now, I'm showing the default as well as the entries in the tags.

Funny though, on the "title tag" its printing the manual entry at the end of the default tags as opposed to the other two tags, which are in the begining of the default tags! Is that confusing or what??:rolleyes:

Luke99 · April 11, 2003

Ok, set the switches to "0".

Fixes all!

Cheers Linda!

:D

smartwork · April 13, 2003

I just posted a topic about this contributions Admin - where is it? My download only consisted of "catalog"

Is the "admin" a separate contribution? I can't seem to locate it in my download of HeaderTagsControllerV2

Thanks!

Ajeh · April 13, 2003

Ok, set the switches to "0".
Fixes all!

Cheers Linda!

:D

Then why load it?

If all are 0 then nothing is being created. :shock:

Luke99 · April 13, 2003

Yes it's a separate contribute.

It's called Header Tag Controller Admin.

Should be fairly close to where the other one is!

Luke99 · April 13, 2003

Linda, maybe there's something I don't understand.

But it seems to be working fine. I've got them all at "0" except for the Default.php set to "1" so it shows the general tag.

Ajeh · April 13, 2003

Okay ... you could have it working to show all the other unique tags as well using the 1

I prefer to make as many pages unique as possible.

smartwork · April 14, 2003

Thanks for the info on where to find the Admin download. Linda also gave me a pointer. :D

Question: I've got everything installed and it appears to be working. In adding a new product, the languages break their "categories" when it comes to the input text boxes. For example: Instead of English, Dutch, and Spanish be listed for product description, page title, page description, keywords - now only English text boxes are listed and then the following languages list 4 text boxes without those labels (descr, title, descr, keywords).

Example:

Prod Description

english

Page Title

english

Page Description

english

Title

english

Keywords

english

dutch

spanish

Is that how the contribution should display or should it be like the original:

Prod Description

eng

span

dutch

Page Title

eng

span

dutch

etc..... ?

Ajeh · April 14, 2003

Sounds like the code is in the wrong place.

Each Language should show it's own set of boxes.

smartwork · April 14, 2003

As the coder, care to give a hint as to which block of code may be in the wrong spot... :wink:

Everything seemed to be right on with exception of about 200 lines of off-set due to added contributions.

Thanks!

         </tr>



<?php

You may need to adjust this some, but I have it located after the FOR loop for the products_description field.

smartwork · April 14, 2003

Thanks, Linda! Going to check it out.

One other thing I'm chasing down is that any page using the default tags also has the variable names printed. For instance, my actual custom title will be printed in the browser's top bar but then it's followed by HEAD_TITLE_TAG_DEFAULT Likewise for the description and keywords within the source code. This only happens for the default. The custom tags for other pages do not have this happening.

Pointers?

Thanks again for the code sample above - going to check mine.

Ajeh · April 14, 2003

Sounds like you do not have the language files loading.

Re-check your installation and make sure all of the includes were added and you uploaded the changes to your site.

smartwork · April 14, 2003

Linda: Well... I've stared at it :shock: and can't seem to find where things are going wrong in the listing of the languages during new product entry. I plugged in the code just as directed and from what I see... it's very similar to your sample. For some reason, mine's listing the text boxes "by language" and not "by cateogory" (i.e. description, title, keywords).

Here is the code I've got (little on the top to give reference of position).

            <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_MANUFACTURER; ?></td>

           <td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '24', '15') . ' ' . tep_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, $pInfo->manufacturers_id); ?></td>

         </tr>

         <tr>

           <td colspan="2"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '1', '10'); ?></td>

         </tr>

<?php

   for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($languages); $i++) {

?>

         <tr>

           <td class="main"><?php if ($i == 0) echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_NAME; ?></td>

           <td class="main"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']) . ' ' . tep_draw_input_field('products_name[' . $languages[$i]['id'] .

Anything jump out as being wrong? Thanks for the great support!

smartwork · April 14, 2003

Got it fixed. :D I inserted:

<?php

   }

?>

  <?php

   for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($languages); $i++) {

?>

between each section (description, title, keywords) in order to make it run through every language before moving on to the next section. Before, it was running through each section "per language" so it would echo all my english boxes, then echo all my spanish boxes, then echo all my dutch boxes.

Now, all the language boxes are displayed in their proper sections.

Not sure why it didn't originally, but this fixed it in my case. :D

Yes it's a separate contribute.
It's called Header Tag Controller Admin.

Should be fairly close to where the other one is!

I have looked through all the contributions for this title, or anything like it and I swear I can't find it. I'm serious, please check before you think I am just not looking closely enough :wink:. Was it taken down? Does anyone else have a link to it I can use? Thanks!

David

smartwork · May 1, 2003

Hey David -

You know that "am I going crazy" feeling you're having? That was ME when I tried finding it.

The catch: It's not on a separate page... but rather on the SAME page as the Header Tags Controller download. Look in the yellow boxes... 2 down from the most current (at this time) version of the Header Tags Controller.

You'll see this:

07/14/2002 - Header Tags Controller Admin v0.01 Author: Richard Fielder

Adds Admin Control to Linda McGarth's Header Tag Controller contribution.

That's what you're seeking... if I understand your post correctly. Yes sir... I searched and searched just as you did. :roll:
