What version? If it's older than 2.3 then we know that is the problem.

 

Regards

Jim

 

Uhm, Thats a good question

 

ind my files, it says this at the top:

 

" $Id: english.php,v 1.106 2003/06/20 00:18:31 hpdl Exp $"

 

Though im not sure this is where they spicify the version of the OsC?

 

can it be fixed? i mean the SEO add On?

Go to your store's Admin and click on Tools, then Version Checker.

It should say: Installed Version: osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.1

 

If you don't have the version checker, go to Tools >> Server Info instead.

 

In any case, the file header that you posted has a date of 2003, and osCommerce 2.3 was released in 2010, so you're out of luck. You would have to upgrade to 2.3.1 for this to work.

Uhm, now i have a question.

 

When going to the updater under 2,2->2,3 i says

 

"This upgrade guide only provides the minimum required changes in the form of security updates and bug fixes. These changes will not upgrade your store to a complete v2.3 version. Please continue to use v2.2 add-ons and do not install v2.3 optimized add-ons as the may not function with your installation. If you wish to upgrade to a full v2.3 version, perform only (SQL) Database Changes and use the database with a new v2.3 installation."

 

 

So when i want to use this add on, then am i forced to start all over from scratch? (design wise, and picture wise?) or can i get by with the minimum required changes?

The minimum required changes do not include the module code. You can't use any of the new modules without the module code. You need the full version 2.3.1 for this to work.

Notice there is a slight difference between my local host and live store. But am having no errors though, just trying to figure this out. When adding products, there is a text field called "Products Meta Description:" just below the "Products Description:". As the snap shot below shows, it's missing from my live store. I've used Beyond Compare to compare files on drives to files in the download. But am not seeing it. So am hoping you can lighten me some where I might find this piece of code. Am assuming it is located in admin/categories.php. Both live and local host is the same.

Believe this code below does refer to Products Meta Description:

 

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
updateGross();
//--></script>
<?php
   for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($languages); $i<$n; $i++) {
?>
         <tr>
           <td class="main" valign="top"><?php if ($i == 0) echo TEXT_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION; ?></td>
           <td><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
              <tr>
               <td class="main" valign="top"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?> </td>
               <td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_textarea_field('products_description[' . $languages[$i]['id'] . ']', 'soft', '70', '15', (isset($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']]) ? stripslashes($products_description[$languages[$i]['id']]) : tep_get_products_description($pInfo->products_id, $languages[$i]['id']))); ?></td>
             </tr>
           </table></td>
         </tr>
<?php
   }

// Modular SEO Header Tags
 include( DIR_WS_MODULES . 'header_tags/products_insert.php' );   
?>

 

Even checked settings in admin of the two sites.

 

Thank you.

The two lines of code before the last ?> are what produces the Products Meta Description. Check that the file includes/modules/header_tags/products_insert.php exists on your site. Also, check that the head_description field exists in your products_description database table.

The file products_insets.php is there and so is the head_description. Even compared the files located at local host and my live store, both identical. Still Products Meta Description: is located on local host, but not live site.

When checking categories/products in admin the Products Meta Description: is stationed below the Products Description: text field. But when I want to add a new product, the Products Meta Description: is missing.

 

Thanks.

Just noticed this. When I add a new product, the Products Meta Description: is missing. But when I go back to edit the new product, than the Products Meta Description: is present. So is this correct?

Hi, I have installed this addon and it works well, is there a way to sort out the duplicate meta tags on the manufacturers listings.

 

Thanks

 

John

You'll have to give me more information than that. What tags are duplicated, and by what modules?

Jim

That could be a bug. Try this experiment: Comment out Line 17 and Line 133 of admin/includes/modules/header_tags/products_insert.php and see what happens.

Hi Jim

 

I am using oscommerce v3.2.1

 

Modluar SEO Header Tags V1.4.2

 

The Manufacturers links are using the same meta tags as the front page, I have 12 manufacturers in a drop down menu (standerd oscommerce).

 

would like to know if it's possible to change title and discription for these pages.

Above are the modules installed and all work, no problems with them.

 

Thanks

The front page title and description should only show on the front page. Are you saying they show on a Category page?

 

If the Manufacturer tags are showing at the same time as the Category tags, you may have found a bug. I'll need to do some testing. Which I don't have time for right now.

Did comment out line 17 but there isn't line 133. So saved and did try it anyways to check for any error messages. Got an error message regarding to line 113 of that same file. So went back and commented out line 113 along with line 17. Error message no longer there, but now the Products Meta Description: is below the Products Description:.

This addon is designed to help you make your pages more attractive to search engines and customers. It allows you to have full control over your site's header title, meta description, and other meta tags. Installation uses the osCommerce 2.3.x module system for ease of installation with minimal edits to core files.

 

The code is here.

Hi Jim,

 

Great work! I found a small language bug in ht_products_title_category.php

$Id: ht_product_title_category.php v1.0 20101122 Kymation $

 

Change:

      	$categories_info_query_raw = "
       	select
         	cd.categories_name
       	from
         	" . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c
         	join " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
           	on cd.categories_id = p2c.categories_id
       	where
         	p2c.products_id = '" . $products_id . "'
     	";

 

to:

      	$categories_info_query_raw = "
       	select
         	cd.categories_name
       	from
         	" . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c
         	join " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd
           	on cd.categories_id = p2c.categories_id
       	where
         	p2c.products_id = '" . $products_id . "' and cd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "'
     	";

 

Now works fine.

 

Best regards,

Gergely

Thanks for the bug report. I fixed my master copy. I need to get a new release together, so I'll include your fix in that.

 

Thanks again for the code.
