OsCommerce out of page title

[Guest]

Where is it that I can take out the OsCommerce from the title of a page and make it my own domain? I need this to better my search engine results.

 

I understand that these scripts are open source but come on!!!!!

you can read the documentation, and also search for things.

 

on another note, against forum rules to have you rname and web site in your signature of the post

[Guest]

Ok, changed sig...

 

However, XP does not inlcude php as "text" for searhing within a file. SO, what are the files that "include" the word "title"?

[Guest]

I found in english.php where TITLE is defined, but changing the parameter does not change a thing when the page is displayed :blink:

 

I am about to beat my head against a wall. :angry:

[Guest]

In /includes/languages/english.php look for define ('Title', 'oscommerce');

Did you empty your browser cache?

 

Is it the correct english.php, there's two, one in admin and one in catalog.

search for and download 'windows grep' works great

I found a patch that allows to to search all files that contain text:

I still can't find where in the @$#%@$@% it is placed in the title.

[Guest]

what version of oscommerce are you using? did you get it from this site or another site? what is the link to your site so i can see?

[Guest]

I finally figured it out.

 

I added Meta Tags 3.0 and had to change the 'define title' parameter in meta_tags.php. It turns out that this definition overrides the definition in english php.

 

What a frustration :unsure:

 

Got there though.

[Guest]

Crap!!!!!

 

It changed the title on the index page, but now I go to a category and the oscommerce name comes first instead of my title.

[Guest]

Ok, got it nailed... I am working too late.

 

In meta_tags.php, there is another parameter, "$common_meta_title"

 

That is where the latter is defined.

hi all,

 

i had trouble getting XP search to work with php files too. if you don't want to use windows grep, just try following method 2 from microsoft's site to get the search working without turning on index search service. it worked for me, so i copy the method here:

 

Method 2

1 Click Start, and then click Search (or point to Search, and then click For Files or Folders).

2 Click Change preferences, and then click With Indexing Service (for faster local searches).

3 Click Change Indexing Service Settings (Advanced). Note that you do not have to turn on the Index service.

4 On the toolbar, click Show/Hide Console Tree.

5 In the left pane, right-click Indexing Service on Local Machine, and then click Properties.

6 On the Generation tab, click to select the Index files with unknown extensions check box, and then click OK.

7 Close the Indexing Service console.
