Greetings,

I just installed Ultimate SEO before installing this contribution and I have a question.  Both contributions modify the admin/categories.php file.  Each modification looks like it is doing something very similar.  The following code is how it should be installed following the install directions for both.

  $action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : '');

// ========== begin Ultimate SEO URLs ==========
// Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1
// If the action will affect the cache entries
    if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_seo_cache.php');
// ========== end Ultimate SEO URLs ==========

  if (tep_not_null($action)) {
// ========== begin cDynamic Meta Tags ==========
# cDynamic Meta Tags 
// If the action will affect the cache entries
    if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_meta_cache.php');
// ========== end cDynamic Meta Tags ==========
    switch ($action) {
      case 'setflag':

Since they seem to be both doing the same thing, I thought they might need to both be together, as in the following example:

  $action = (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['action']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['action'] : '');

// ========== begin Ultimate SEO URLs ==========
// Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1
// If the action will affect the cache entries
    if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_seo_cache.php');
// ========== end Ultimate SEO URLs ==========
// ========== begin cDynamic Meta Tags ==========
# cDynamic Meta Tags 
// If the action will affect the cache entries
    if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_meta_cache.php');
// ========== end cDynamic Meta Tags ==========

  if (tep_not_null($action)) {
    switch ($action) {
      case 'setflag':

Should they both be separate as in the first example or together as in the second example?  Or maybe together with the Ultimate SEO code with the Meta Tags below the "if (tep_not_null($action)) {"?

Thanks for any insights into this.

Peace,
Jeff

Jeff....

They both do not do the same but the do do it at the same time...

so yes you could combine like:

 if (tep_not_null($action)) {
    // ========== begin Ultimate SEO URLs ==========
// Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1
// If the action will affect the cache entries
   if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_seo_cache.php');
// ========== end Ultimate SEO URLs ==========
// ========== begin cDynamic Meta Tags ==========
# cDynamic Meta Tags
// If the action will affect the cache entries
   if ( eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action) ) include_once('includes/reset_meta_cache.php');
// ========== end cDynamic Meta Tags ==========
   switch ($action) {
     case 'setflag':

or like this:

if (tep_not_null($action)) {
    // ========== begin Ultimate SEO URLs & cDynamic Meta Tags==========
// Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1 / cDynamic Meta Tags
// If the action will affect the cache entries
   if (eregi("(insert|update|setflag)", $action)) {
   include_once('includes/reset_seo_cache.php');
   include_once('includes/reset_meta_cache.php');
   }
// ========== end of mod ==========

   switch ($action) {
     case 'setflag':

Thanks, Chris!

I wasn't sure if they both should go before or after the

if (tep_not_null($action)) {

I'll put them both after it now. Thanks again for the quick response.

First of all. Thank you for this contribution

I need to adapt the /includes/functions/meta.php because I need german words to exclude.

For unknown reason the exclude does not work. What is the difference between the words in 'singe quote' and "double Quotes". In my shop it is still showing the word 'aus' in the meta tags

starting line 85

function meta_create_meta_keywords($str, $length = 200) {
$str=xstripper($str);
$exclude = array('save','month','year','hundreds','euro','per','aus',"ii","about","above","according",...)

here is the corresponding article with the short word inside.

<title>Sonnenreiter new Mexiko - Schöner Reiten</title>
<meta name="description" content="Modische Jodhpurreithose in topaktueller Streifenoptik aus bielastischer Baumwolle, mit Besätzen aus Lederimitat. Zwei...">
<meta name="keywords" content="schöner, reiten, modische, jodhpurreithose, topaktueller, streifenoptik, aus, bielastischer, baumwolle, mit, besätzen, lederimitat, zwei, reißverschlußtaschen, und, dekorativen, gürtelschlaufen">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<base href="http://schoener-reiten.de/">

Any suggestion?

Thank you

Hello,

some more information (hopefully someone can answer me).

1 I only use German language in my shop
2 yes it is working and putting each and any word from the description into the meta tag
3. it does not exclude the german words for "and, for, the ..." despite I placed them into the functions/meta.php file.

any hint is welcome.

Thanks Kai

Rewrite option. I get file not found when it goes to an html file. Where should I start looking for errors?

How can I remove the item title from the description tag. The description tag shows the items title then product code then the items description from the page.
I would like to remove the items title from the description tag only but whatever I have tried changing in meta_tags.php seems to remove the titel from the title tag also.

Look around line 87 for $desc.=$product_meta_info['products_name'];

and comment it out.

Yes, you can simply add code for any page... but will take a little PHP knowledge...

The correct way would be to set up the page like existing pages are (ie specials or product_info)

If you want to do pages that fall under other and looking for quick hack you could do something like:

Around line 346 look for $metatitle=meta_create_title($metatitle);

under it add something like:

if (eregi($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'page_you_want_to_set.php') )
$metatitle='What you want for title';

if (eregi($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 'page_you_want_to_set2.php') )
$metatitle='What you want for title2';

Hope it helps a little

Installed contribution and all seems fine with Title and Description but the keyword meta tag shows as
<META NAME="Keywords" Content="array">
for every product. The title and description tags show correct for all products but keyword tag is always as above for every item.
Any help would be appreciated.

To get STS to work with this great contribution i did this:

open: /catalog/includes/sts_display_output.php

find    echo "<title>" . TITLE . "</title>"; 
** should be around line 159 or so.

replace it with this:
require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'meta_tags.php');
Then on your index.php and product_info.php pages just complete remove your standard osc <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>  or the one that was added in this contribution.  What you are doing is removing all instances of <title> and </title> from index.php and product_info.php
The only issue i have is that my product_info.php page is showing a - -  at the end of the title.

My other pages like the contact page ect are just displaying the normal site title.

Ah it seems this is a generic problemnot related to contrib. For some reason Im not getting this even without contrib, anyone give me advice as to what is wrong??

Using STS, I get the admin Titles but not on catalog..

Hi, I noticed this in the install instruction which you might want to update if it needs it

Quote

STEP 1 - Upload the included files

    The files should be located in the upload directory of this contribution.

* admin/includes/reset_meta_cache.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/admin/includes/ directory

* includes/meta_tags.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/includes/ directory

* includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/includes/languages/english/ directory

* includes/functions/meta_tags.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/includes/ directory

* cache/ should be uploaded to your *catalog*/ directory

but shouldn't the last line look more like

Quote

* includes/functions/meta_tags.php should be uploaded to your *catalog*/includes/functions/ directory

That's what I've done anyway, because otherwise I get errors

Greeat contrib BTW !

Hi,

I have installed cDynamic_Meta_Tags v1.4.

When testing it I get the title back but no keywoards are generated.

How do I include keywords?

And, do I have to modify the default;

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------#
# Define specific meta tags by entering the value between the '':

# For all pages using meta_tags:
define('HEAD_TITLE_TAG_ALL',''); # Title
define('HEAD_DESC_TAG_ALL',''); # Description
define('HEAD_KEY_TAG_ALL',''); # Keywords

# For default index page (no products or categories)
define('HEAD_TITLE_TAG_INDEX',''); # Title
define('HEAD_DESC_TAG_INDEX',''); # Description
define('HEAD_KEY_TAG_INDEX',''); # Keywords

Regards Peter

[cymonguk]

are you using sts? what other contribs are installed?

[palno1]

I have

Easy Populate
country-state-selector
FroogleDataFeeder

Thats it.

[jasper98]

I've got the cDynamic Meta Tags working on the pages included in includes/meta_tags.php. (such as specials.php, products_new.php, product_info.php, etc.)

However, I've added a couple other pages to my site that I'd like cDynamic to work with such as all_products.php (which lists categories/product titles). How do I go about getting it to work with these new pages. Do I need to add it somehow to includes/meta_tags.php? I'm just not sure how to go about doing this. Thanks for any help.

p.s. I'm using STS.

To add additional pages add them to this line :

$heading_pages = array('contact_us.php', 'product_reviews.php');

around line 60 in includes/;anguages/english.php

If you ar not seeing keywords or description on products and/pr actegories something is wrong...


If you are talking about say the index.php page (home page) you will have to set the defaults in the fields you listed above....
