[Contribution] Header Tags Controller for Admin MS 2.2

[Street-Freaks]

The items will only show in black for a standard installation. If you usng one of the template contributions, it won't work. As for the Home text, have you edited the text in admin->Header Tags->Text Control?

 

Jack

 

Thanks for the speedy reply.

 

Product descriptions are showing fine, it's just the title of the main index page. Here's the link

 

street-freaks.co.uk

 

I've changed the text in the admin section, and it works fine if, say, I click the a category link on the left hand side. Only the home page it doesn't work on.

 

Thanks again

When you look at admin->Header Tags->Text Control in the index section, what is the title set to?

Look at the code that was added at the end of the edits for product_info.php. My guess is that you placed it in the wrong place.

In Admin->Header Tags->Text Control for the index section, the title is set to:

"Street Freaks - Official band t-shirts, hoodies, merchandise - Alternative accessories"

 

There's a screen grab below, if that helps.

The default page titles seem to work fine.

 

Thanks,

Are you using the STS or BTS template contribution? Either way, try replacing the includes/header_tags.php and english/header_tags.php with the ones in the contribution just to see if they will work. You will need to edit the Home Page in admin again to make sure it is changed.

Hi jack thanks for the reply I checked the code on products info and couldn't find any problems one thing I did find was that the second piece of code was alot higher up the line numbers than was to be expected, is there any where I can get my hands on a edited page code to match it up with mine and see if anything is missing ?

 

Thanks again :)

If I try and use header_tags.php from STS I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare clean_html_comments() (previously declared in ../store/includes/functions/clean_html_comments.php:11) in ../store/includes/functions/clean_html_comments.php on line 11

I've compared the clean_html_comments.php from the contribution with mine, and they're identical. I'm stumped...

 

Thanks again,

You should ask in the STS forum or download the install directions for STS and Header Tags from that contribution section since the install is different when using STS.

Hi, I have tried to install this contribution onto my copy of RC1. I had previously modified it, so went through each of the instructional txt files and instructions in turn.

The database edits seemed to go through ok. The catalog folder edit seemed to go through ok and some catagories were missing their titles as apparently they should till i did the admin edits.

 

Now I went through the admin edits one at a time but when I try and open my admin page i get the following message;

"PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_get_languages() in E:\users\website\catalog\admin\login.php on line 79"

 

Any ideas where i might have gone wrong? Any help most greatfully appreciated cheers.. John ..

That's a stock function that Header Tags doesn't change. You should check the changes you made to the general.php file. You may have overwritten other code.

Be sure you have the following line of code at the beginning of your includes/header_tags.php file:

 

 

require_once(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'clean_html_comments.php');

:thumbsup: Also, see the link in my signature below on how to install HTC with STS.

Thank you for this incredible cool contribution. I can't wait to use it! However, I'm already having some problems with the installation. I hope someone can help me.

 

Upon installing the Database files I received these types of errors on four of the five files needed to be uploaded. Here's a sample one of them.

 

Error

 

SQL query:

 

ALTER TABLE categories_description ADD categories_htc_description LONGTEXT NULL

 

MySQL said:

#1060 - Duplicate column name 'categories_htc_description'

 

Basically all of the errors on the four files were caused by duplicate column names. I don't know if this was caused from the previous contribution that I have installed, CDynamics Metatags.

 

Should I correct these database problems now before preceding? and how do I correct this? Also, should I dismantel CDyanmic Metatags?

 

Thanks for any and all help on this!

You can't run cDynamic and Header Tags at the same time but I don't think they use the same database names. It is more likely you ran the Header Tags sql file twice. The database problem should be fixed before you continue since, if it is wrong, your site won't work. But all you can do at this point, unless you recall what you did, is to go into the database and delete all of the fields.

Thanks for that, that stopped the clean_html_comments.php problem, but now I'm back to square one, so to speak.

 

HTC is working fine with every single page, except for the main index page. All categories, subcategories and products are filled fine, but on the main page I just get this added to the <head> section.

 

 <title>Home Page  - osCommerce :</title>
<meta name="Description" content="- osCommerce : What's New Here? - Hardware Software DVD Movies osCommerce : What's New Here? - Hardware Software DVD Movies" />
<meta name="Keywords" content="Hardware Software DVD Movies What's New Here?, - Hardware Software DVD Movies What's New Here?" />

 

This code is NOWHERE in the admin section. In Admin -> Header Tags -> Text Control, the entries for index are filled in the same as in the screenshot on the previous page.

 

I can't understand why it's adding the default metadata to the first index page, when it's not specified anywhere.. :-(

 

Thanks again for the help so far,

Glyn

That code won't work on Windows. It is just a warning and doesn't mean anything if the code is working correctly so it can be ignored. If you want to make it so the warning isn't displayed, the change for that is in this thread, probably within the last five pages or so.

Hi Jack, it now appears to be working fine and dandy thanks, though with those error messages.

I have also found the thread on their removal so cheers for the guidance, I will edit them out shortly. So just wished to say a big thankyou for this contribution and the support you provide. It is greatly and sincerely appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the fast response Jack! I think it's possible that, in the past, I started to implement this contribution but stopped. If that's the case then the database part should be done. Sorry, for being such a newbie, but how do I check to see if the correct changes were made to the database for this contribution?

 

Thanks so much, Jack!

[Trentide]

Wait a minute, I see what I've done. I uploaded the database file named header.sql with no errors. I then started uploading Update_header_categories.sql, Update_header_categories_description.sql, etc. That's when I started getting the duplication errors. That's because some of the tables in these files are the same as the original header.sql.

 

Did I do the wrong thing by uploading all the database files in the folder? Do I still need to correct anything?

 

Thanks Jack.

 

Jason

[Jack_mcs]

John - I appreciate that. Thanks. :)

 

Jason - The header.sql is the one you should have used. The others are for updating older versions. They would not have caused any damage running them though so you should be all set as far as the database is concerned.

Awesome! Thanks Jack!

Hey, thanks for this cool contribution! I got it working 99%. I can change my metatags for categories, manufacturers, and my index page, but having a problem with the products pages. They won't change. They old tag info remains the same no matter what I do. I'm not even sure where to start to fix this! I've tried changing the info on the "fill tag" page in admin, but I'm not sure that's working either. Whenever I change something, leave the page, and go back again, the bullet goes back to "skip all tags". Is that how it's suppose to work?

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thanks. I can't wait to get it working 100%!

 

Jason

[Jack_mcs]

If the product page isn't working correctly, it is either the code in the product_info.php file was not changed, or nt changed properly, or the includes/header_tags.php or english/header_tags.php file are corrupted. You can try replacing the last two to fix that. You will need to go over the instructions for the product page to check that.
