Sorry, this might give a better idea of what my meta_tags.php page is saying:

Quote

# pages to use HEADING_TITLE loop
foreach ($heading_pages as $index => $page){
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $page) ){
$metatitle=HEADING_TITLE.' - ';}}

[Trentide]

Can anyone help me on this? It's on a live store. I really need to fix this.

Thanks, Jason

I need some help, if in admin I set the cache options to 2-Cache to directory I get the following errors:

Warning: fopen(/home/fr50cool/public_html//home/*****public_html/cache/_product_info.php_products_id=18.meta-cache) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/includes/meta_tags.php on line 392

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/*****/public_html/includes/meta_tags.php on line 393

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/*****/public_html/includes/meta_tags.php on line 394

The first error seems to be doubling the address it's looking for and has added a double slash /home/fr50cool/public_html//home/*****public_html/cache/_product_info.php_products_id=18.meta-cache

I don't really understand what is happening. I have a cache folder in the root of my store /home/*****/public_html/cache/

If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Hi, I really need help. I've been dealing with this for days, and can't seem to find an answer.

When i click the next page link at the bottom of my index page, I get this error at the top of the page:

Quote

Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter. in /home/subcitiz/public_html/includes/meta_tags.php on line 347

at the bottom of the same page I get this error:

Quote

Error! Unable to determine the page link!

When I go to the meta_tags.php page, on line 347, (the page and line in question) this is what I have:

Quote

# pages to use HEADING_TITLE loop
foreach ($heading_pages as $index => $page){
if (strpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], $page)){
$metatitle=HEADING_TITLE.' - ';}}
#-------------------------------#

I'm not sure how to fix this. I think that $page has no value. I've tried to get help for the last week with no luck.

Any and all help will be extremely appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

There is something weird going on with the meta tags contrib.
It is inserting text in serveral places. For example:
bytmc

<title>The Molding of a Champion by: Children-Youth - A Place of Hope Store -</title>

<META NAME="Description" Content="The Molding of a Champion (bytmc) by Children-Youth - The Molding of a Champion Helping Your Child Shape a Winning Destiny Winning Strategies for nurturing future life champions Practical parenting advice from a leading...">

<META NAME="Keywords" Content="the molding of a champion, bytmc books, children-youth, books, videos, dvd, supplements for eating disorders, depression, abuse, store">

I also find the term in a few places on the page:

href="http://www.aplaceofhopestore.com/molding-champion-p-69.html" class="headerNavigation">bytmc</a></td>
<td class="pageHeading" valign="top">The Molding of a Champion<br><span class="smallText">[bytmc]</span></td>

This is happening to every product page, but with different phrases. Anotehr page is doing the same thing with the phrase bahsea.

Where in the world are these terms coming from? They are not in my original product pages.

Is this something from the SEO contrib?

I'm having some trouble getting cDynamic Meta Tags working on product_reviews_info.php

I have tried copying the data in /catalog/includes/meta_tags.php for product_info.php and applying it to product_reviews_info.php, but that caused no META tags to display just leaving me with the URL in the title bar.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

[Trentide]

Thanks for this great contribution! I have an easy question (I think!) Is there a way to get rid of my company name that displays in the title tag on my index page. I don't believe I need it there and would like to make room for other keywords.

Thanks In Advance,
Jason

How do I reset the cache manuelly?\
I tried going to mysite.com/catalog/admin/includes/reset_meta_cache.php but then I get an error on line 40 saying it cant connect to the db. which makes sense cause the file isn't being called by another file that already connected to the db if i got straight to it. I'm getting the wrong titles/meta tags for my products. for example
http://primestatues.com/catalog/face-legs-one-eye-p-308.html

Hi,

After installing this contrib every time I edit something in admin I get this message

[left]Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by 
(output started at /xxxx/local/home/xxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx.co.uk/
cart/admin/includes/application_top.php:212)
in /xxxx/local/home/xxxxxx/xxxxxx.co.uk/cart/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 22 

[/left]
Can anyone help Please?

[shartlesville]

I have this contrib installed and it is working, sort of...

On the index.php it is showing the keywords and description that I specified.

On the product_info.php pages it is showing the description pulled from the title, description, etc.

HOWEVER, it is only listing 3 keywords or phrases - no matter what product it is or how much information is on the page. It doesn't pull ANY information from the description.

How can I get it to list actual keywords for these products without typing them manually and without them being long winded phrases?

Here are two product examples and the index -

META NAME="Description" Content="Quantum 9910 Workbook Downloadable (PDF) 17MB (9910DWB) by Singer - English This is a 17MB downloadable workbook for the Quantum 9910. You must have Adobe or another PDF viewer to open this file. Buy Singer sewing embroidery machines at..."
META NAME="Keywords" Content="quantum 9910 workbook downloadable (pdf) 17mb, 9910dwb singer manuals workbooks, workbooks,"

META NAME="Description" Content="Singer 7470 Confidence Sewing Machine (7470) by Singer - The Singer 7470 Confidence makes sewing a dream. Check out all these fantastic features Electronic Sewing Machine with Push-Button Stitch Selection With just a simple push of a button you have..."
META NAME="Keywords" Content="singer 7470 confidence sewing machine, 7470 singer machines, sewing machines,"

Index - META NAME="Description" Content="Best Sewing Deals @ Attic Treasures Buy Singer sewing embroidery machines at BestSewingDeals.com. We offer the lowest prices, oustanding customer service, free shipping*, and we teach you to use your machine. We won't be undersold!"
META NAME="Keywords" Content="singer, sewing, embroidery, embroidery machines, sewing machines, sewing lessons, futura, quantum futura, singer quantum futura, xl6000, singer xl6000, singer futura, singer dealer"

I tried adding:

 tep_not_null($product_meta_info['products_description'])
  ? $key.=$product_meta_info['products_description'].','
 : NULL;

to the catalog/includes/meta_tags.php #get data for keywords section - and it worked, sort of...

It included text, as in sentences and MULTIPLE word phrases, to the "keywords" but it didn't add *just* keywords; it also included all the small words that should have been excluded by the "exclude" list, such as "the" "and" etc.

I also tried increasing the length for the keywords in the functions/meta.php to 500 but that had no effect.

Am I asking too much here? Is this not something this contribution can actually do? I have seen others in this topic list the keywords they are getting and they seem to be *just* keywords and quite a few of them - or are these just the ones they listed for the index page?

I have ZERO knowledge of .php, code writing, etc. I am totally self-taught but a very quick study. If you point me in the right direction, I can usually figure it out but I can't seem to get this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Blessings,
K

All of my pages seem to be working fine except my index page. Here is what it has:
[quote]<title>Victory Life Center</title>
<META NAME="Description" Content="Victory Life Center -">

I do have the following on my index page:
[quote]<?php
# cDynamic Meta Tags
/*<title><?php echo TITLE; ?>*/
require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'meta_tags.php');

Any idea why it would only be this page?

If i dont rember wrongly it has 3 files....

includes/meta_tags.php
includes/functions/meta.php
includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

They should be uploaded to the same folders in your web shop...

yes i agree there are all these 3 files but in the instructions they call the functions file meta_tags.php and actually it is meta.php. that was the only confusion.

i guess what i have just realized is that these contributions dont work with STS . is there a way around it ? i did all the changes got no errors but it did not work. no meta tags generated.

can someone confirm this ? that this contribution is not compatible with the STS and if not anything else recommended ?

please do let me know.

thanks

STS changes the install of many of the contribs...

Then you can easily use this one together with STS: Meta Tags Controller Support

[jdice]

I am not even sure how to describe this. I uploaded the contribution. And when I go to my domain name...it ask for username and password....and I am thinking....WHAT? my store no longer shows up.

I have bts template already installed...but that is the only other contribution I have made prior to the cDynamic_Meta_Tags contribution.

Is this a permissions problems? How do I fix this?
