[Contribution] Header Tags Controller for Admin MS 2.2

Shiker · February 26, 2007

I have a site using HTC and STS contributions and some others. STS works fine (included infobox v1.0.6).

I installed, a while ago, B. Kellum's contribution STS v4.2 with Header Tags Controller 2.5.9 (19 Aug 2006) on my osC 2.2 MS2.

After that installation, I had a main problem using HTC with duplication in the generated header files such as :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>

<title>Atelier du Tennis</title><base href="http://www.atelierdutennis.com/">

...

</script>

<title>Atelier du Tennis</title><base href="http://www.atelierdutennis.com/">

<!--

body {

background-color: #EFEFEF;

}

...

Now, I want to clarify and solve this main problem.

I strictly followed the Word installation instructions (supplied with that contribution) in order to check for any errors, using file compare utility and so on.

Everything seems to be right.

Beside, if I declare headertags.php in STS modules include file parameting via administration panel, the result is a blank index page displayed :

e.g. for index STS module such as Files for index.php template : sts_user_code.php;headertags.php

Does anyone could give me some help, info, clarification, or any idea with that.

I red many posts in the forum, and it is now very difficult for me to find somethinh which could really help me in relation with my problem.

Hi Jack,

I had just noticed this within the header tags. It looks like all my pages are working but one, the product reviews write

This is the same code and in the latest one. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Eric

I just tested it here and it works. Maybe you don't have any text entered for it in Text Control?

Try turning STS off. If the Header Tags code functions properly, the problem is in STS. If not, it is in Header Tags.

Thank you for your response.

Disabling STS cause HTC running : title, description and key fields are displayed in the source code using admin > Fill Tags data.

e.g.

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>

<!-- <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=">

<title>TOURNA GRIP X10 Information produit - Atelier du Tennis</title>

pacific,gosen,vente,vente en ligne tennis,cordage,garniture,bobine,raquette,chaussure,sac,accessoire,babolat,volkl,

pacific,gosen,vente,vente en ligne"/>

...

Charset still appears twice (3 times with STS) and some desc and key data too.

I suppose problems remain both in STS and HTC !??

PS : How must I do to display HTC data I set in admin > categories.php HTC fields for a specific product instead of those set in Fill Tags menu ?

Thanks,

Jacques

Hi Jack thanks for the reply,

I have just checked the code again to insure that the HT code is correct and is so. I also checked the text control and the product reviews write isnt there. Then I added the page in the page control and it now works. Thank you for your help.

I have a suggestion for an upcoming version if their is one.

When you click on the text control link you have to re add all the info/select the box or boxes every time you go and make a change to something. I think it would awesome if the info would stay they I put it until I change it. Also to make it a little more clearer on how to add and delete pages.

Thanks for your help,

Sounds like the problem is with STS. You should ask the question in that support thread. You can view your product tags in admin->Catalog by editing a product.

The review page shouldn't have had to have been added. It's part of the standard code. When you add it in Page Control, it may not be added in correctly since the pages added by that code uses different code.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about keeping the info. When you click on Text Control, or any link in admin, it reloads the form. That is how oscommerce works. It would be possible to store the form data but that seems a lot of work for little gain since, usually, Text Control is rarely used once the pages are set up.

I'll ask for some help in STS thread.

For the product Tag, I know that, I configured HTC tag field for each product, but only those set in Fill Tags HTC admin menu are taken into account.

Am I missing something !?

Thanks a lot for your help and previous responses.

Be sure you have configured STS to work with HTC:

Go to your admin panel, modules, STS.

*For each module installed, add “headertags.php” (without the quotes) to the list of files to include.

For example:

• For the default module, you have a parameter named “Files for normal template”. By default it contains only “sts_user_code.php”. If you modify this parameter to “sts_user_code.php;headertags.php”, you will have Header Tags Controller working for all of the pages using the default template. Do the same for the other modules below.

• For the index module, the parameter is called “Files for index.php template”.

• For “product_info module”, there are 2 parameters:

“Files for normal template”
“Files for content template”

Thank you Bill,

Please find hereafter the resusts of my tests:

I effectively followed the instructions you wrote in the associated document for STS v4.2 with HTC v2.5.9 contribution.

I re-checked all and discovered that the includes/header_tags.php file was from the clean_osc directoty (?). I deleted the first require : require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'clean_html_comments.php');

Now I have the following behaviours :

1) Default and Index modules set with additional parameter headertags.php

- index.php is displayed like that :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>

<title>HEAD_TITLE_TAG_DEFAULT</title>

<!--

...

//-->

</script>

<title>HEAD_TITLE_TAG_DEFAULT</title>

The line "<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">" is displayed 5 times ! and some Meta lines 2 times.

--------------------

When I display a category, I have the HTC fields I configured in admin for that category well displayed :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<head>

<title>Raquettes de tennis BABOLAT</title>

<!--

...

//-->

</script>

<title>Raquettes de tennis BABOLAT</title>

But with the same repetitions than before.

---------------

If I display for exemple contact_us.php, I have the default HTC fields defined in Header Tags utility.

2) Now, if I declare headertags.php in Product info module I Have the following message in a blank screen :

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: clean_html_comments() in /atelier/includes/header_tags.php on line 208

If I comment this line 208 (call to function clean_html_comments() ), the product_info page for a specific product is displayed like that:

- default HTC title

- product HTC description (defined for each product) followed by default description

- product HTC keywords (defined for each product) followed by default keywords

Thanks for your precious help in debugging this problem,

Jacques

Hello Jack,

Just updated to v2.6.2 and this is an absolutlely brilliant contribution !

A big thank you for all of your effort in developing and then help and time supporting it.

i installed and setup database_setup.php and it worked.

then i uploaded catalog and the title didnt change as it says.

what i can do.

Jack_mcs · March 1, 2007

You need to make the changes documented in Install_Catalog.txt.

Jack

bkellum · March 1, 2007

Jacques, may I suggest using the STSv4.3.3 with HTC 2.6.0 bundle? If you want, you can also install the latest version of each contribution separately by following the instrucitons at the STS Power Pack site (link in my signature below). The instructions were made for HTC v2.5.9 but still apply to Jack's latest version 2.6.2.

Good luck,

Hi Guys

I'm new to all this so please bear with me. :blink:

I am trying to load the header tags controller and I'm stuck

I have uploaded the database_setup.php with success.

I have now followed the Install_catalog instructions to the letter, but I am not getting the change that says I should see my index page with a new title of "home page".

The instructions say that I should find out why this has not changed before continuing further.

HELP! PLEASE!

I have changed my permissions on the 2 header_tags.php files as instructed

Is it normal at this stage for these 2 header_tags.php files to be empty?

Thanks

By empty, do you mean no code in them at all? If so, that is the problem. You should re-upload those files.

STS problem

STS not running now...

Dennis_gull · March 1, 2007

hmm I just installed the contribution and got a little question.

On product_info.php I wont get any title even if I fill in a title name but If I mark all the options I will get the Default title/desc after the product name is that correct?

Shouldnt there be title, product name, .... ?

example: my shop - my product - my description.

One last thing, how does the Keyword work? :)

almost forgot to thank you, this is a very well made contribution. Thanks ^_^

Jack_mcs · March 1, 2007

Thank you. :) It sounds like you may have missed some steps. Did you run the fill tags option? Did you install the code changes to the product_info.php file? Did you read the How to Operate file?

Jack

Dennis_gull · March 1, 2007

I looked around in the header_tags.php file and changed the location on this code:

 if (HTTA_CAT_PRODUCT_DEFAULT_ON=='1') {
	$tags_array['title'] .= ' ' . HEAD_TITLE_TAG_PRODUCT_INFO;
  }

So I now get, shop-name: product name in product_info.php and I also understand how the keywords work now. Thanks :)

Jack

i did the 2nd step but nothing changed.

in title.

thats why i ask

thanks.

March 1, 2007

Thanks JACK MCS.

Sorry I was having a blonde moment, >_<

Is it alright to just add the header_tags.php in now or do I need to start over again?

Thanks again for the help

There are many steps after that. You need to finish them all or it won't work.

You can safely replace the files. If you have made changes to them, those would be lost but it doesn't sound like that is the case in this situation.

I am sure this question has been asked before, but this thread is around 175 pages & I can't find a search button to search only this thread. I see that in the categories_description table in the database the following columns...

categories_htc_title_tag	  varchar(80)
categories_htc_desc_tag 	longtext
categories_htc_keywords_tag 	longtext
categories_htc_description 	longtext

I know that the categories_htc_title_tag is the <title></title> code.

I know that the categories_htc_desc_tag is the <meta name="Description" content=" "/> code.

I know that the categories_htc_keywords_tag is the <meta name="Keywords" content=" "/> code.

What is the categories_htc_description for? What text is used here & where is this text displayed. I couldn't find this anywhere in the page source for the categories.
