Meta Tag - Help Please

[coyotefan107]

What file do I put the Meta Tag Keyword information in? Is there someplace that I can put it once so that it appears on all my pages for search engine submissions, etc.

 

Thank you very much!!!

you need to install a contribution to get meta tag. I forgot which one, but do a search in contribution page.

Try the Header Tag Controller contribution:

You will need to fix what I believe is a typo in the README to Operate.TXT file.

 

Code reads:

 

Replace the existing line in all files that you want to use the Header Tags Controller:

Old Line:

<title><?php echo TITLE ?></title>


New Lines:

<?php
// BOF: WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0
// Replaced by header_tags.php
if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php') ) {
?require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php');
} else {
?>
?<title><?php echo TITLE ?></title>
<?php
}
// EOF: WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0
?>

NOTE: Rather than remove the original line, I used this block of code that uses the standard TITLE if the header_tags.php file does not exist.

 

Should read:

 

Replace the existing line in all files that you want to use the Header Tags Controller:

Old Line:

<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>


New Lines:

<?php
// BOF: WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0
// Replaced by header_tags.php
if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php') ) {
?require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php');
} else {
?>
?<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>
<?php
}
// EOF: WebMakers.com Changed: Header Tag Controller v1.0
?>

NOTE: Rather than remove the original line, I used this block of code that uses the standard TITLE if the header_tags.php file does not exist.

 

( I just added the missing semi-colon at the end of <?php echo TITLE; ?> for both the old line and the mod. )

 

It takes a bit of work as you have to change the code for almost all of the pages in the /catalog directory (but not the sub-directories underneath that), but once I had it installed, it's now working like a charm.

 

HTH,
