DAVID3733 Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Hello I have installed OSC 2.3.4BS with Seo reloaded, using the pages header tags module for Meta Title and description, further using a updated HT_canonical for products_new I have not finished running a deep spider crawl yet but about 40% in, it seems that the only dupliacte titles are going to be index.php with ?currency=USD, GBP, EUR (have not seen language= yet but no doubt it will show its dubious head) and the info pages ie privacy.php with privacy.php?currency= With the info pages can i hard code the caononical like in the includes/languages/english/privacy.php, and have some kind of update to meta tags module bring in the canonical, or should i be loloking at the ht_caonical module to provide the canonical for the static info pages also what to do about the index page as i assume that is a different subject altogether becuase of its direct link to the category pages Regards David Quote David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 No idea. Canonical has nothing to do with the reloaded package. It is a core file so if you think changes need to be made to it, you'll need to raise it as a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burt Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) @@griffomd normal. This looks like a fairly new site with little in the way of addons, so you might like to swap the site over to the community responsive (aka bootstrap) build. That would be a little bit of work, but would make your site much more useable. Edited February 12, 2015 by burt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burt Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Hard to say... 1. make sure that the files are not corrupted in some way (when they uploaded). and 2. make sure that some other file does not exist as so; /includes/modules/ht_category_titleBACKUP.php (eg a file you might have amended and renamed)...

burt Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Silly question - are the modules already included in BS Gold No. The SEO reloaded overwrites a couple of files.

burt Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Install went fine, no problems. I'd suggest that you have *possibly* overwritten the ht_category_title language file with the actual ht_category_title module file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort-lemur Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thanks Gary, Did a restore and then painstaikingly did the install again - and this time it worked - funny old thing eh? Guess I made some silly mistake on the first install. A couple of things I did notice were that the sql command would not run (maybe i started the install at some earlier date and cant remember) also on the add product page some of the images (flags) are not displayed and the category screen layout has changed as per the screenshots below: Quote Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed .....

Mort-lemur Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did Johns post make sense ? I never added that functionality to the shop side, as no-one (so far) wanted it. I havent tried it as yet as I spent yesterday evening trying to get the pesky flags to appear as they should next to the new boxes am I the only one with a problem with this? I will probably use the product short description in another way as per my non BS store. - ie I use the short description to display a description on the product page above the buy now box, with the main product description appearing below the buy now box. Makes for better layout especially on long descriptions Quote Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed .....

burt Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The bootstrap version could do with another rewrite to start using hooks and perhaps content modules. Would make installation even easier than it is now. If I can find time I'll look into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
