well just gave the additional infos a try - well i can duplicate all of your infos. but if there is no "Desc to add to all" there will be the last slash (only if you add teh fix you posted some posts before) .

the trailing one will always be there if you are not on product_info or index (main).

well im using Ultimate SEO aswell and some other modifications but cant see the reason in there.
i will try it on a clean store aswell soonish.

@kslager - i didnt get it working aswell you might better use Header Tags Controller contrib...

Marcel, I have re uploaded the changes just in case.. make sure you update to the latest includes.meta_tags.php = made some small changes, but not that are affecting your issue.

I am not duplicating you issue. Are you cahcing the results? If so delete the cache files or turn it off and check. You might be viewing an old cahced file?

Hi,

I installed this contribution:
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2895

cDynamic Meta Tags v1.0 to my OSC store, but I can't figure out how to get products to show up in the TITLE tag. I can drill down to categories and they show up, but when I click on a product, it still just puts the category in the TITLE. Is there any way to change this to the PRODUCT?

Thanks for you help.

The default length settings are in includes/functions/meta.php

The length is specified for the functions on that page.

Have you don any other modifications? The contribution is designed to add the product name to the title.and I have not heard of anyone else having this problem???

[mltgroup]

Yea, I installed a "Search Engine Friendly URLs" contrib as well. Maybe that is the problem.

Is there a better way to make the URLs search engine friendly?

Thanks again for the information.

I noticed that inactive items are showing up in the meta keywords tag on when displaying all items in a category.

Any idea how can I change the query to only get active items?

For an example:

http://www.ukgoods.com/biscuits-mcvities-c-33_52.html

The meta keywords are showing up as:

<meta NAME="Keywords" Content="mcvities, mcvities favourites biscuit tin, mcvities fruit shortcake, mcvities plain chocolate hobnobs, mcvities victoria biscuit tin, mcvities hobnobs, mcvities rich tea biscuits, mcvities milk">

The McVities Favourites Biscuit Tin and McVities Victoria Biscuit Tin are specialty Christmas items and are inactive.

Thanks,

Donna Gordon

Donna,

Yes you can modify the query by some code to the query...

The query you are talking about is around 170 in the includes/meta_tags.php file.

After the "where" statement add

p.products_status='1' and

If you want to filter the manufacturers you can do the same for that query but use manufactueres status and same for cats if you have that contribution....

I have installed cDynamic Meta tags on Overall Beauty . After following all the instructions I opened the main catalog index page and took a look at the soutce all I get is blank tags

<title>Overall Beauty</title>
<META NAME="De scription" Content="">
<META NAME="Keywords" Content="">

It appears that the code is not accessing the database for some reason. Are there any special settings needed to use this contribution.

I also tried the Dynamic Meta Tags contribution and received the same response

Thank you for any assistance

No the only path option is if you use the cache option. For the main index page you can specify the meta data in the languages file.

Looks like it is working fine (http://overallbeauty.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/28 | http://overallbeauty.com/catalog/index.php/cPath/23)

You do have some configuration settings that might be off as the SID is staying in the URL, but that should not affect this contribution.

I made the change, reset the meta change and my seo cache and it is still bringing up the inactive items.

Any suggestions?

Did you reset the meta cache? Has nothing to do with SEO?

That should work unless we are talking about different pages... you cab add that to any query that is getting produccts... might have to add/remove p.

I ran https://www.ukgoods.com/admin/includes/reset_meta_cache.php from the browser.

Here is the product query (from around line 170):

$products_query = tep_db_query("SELECT p.products_id, pc.products_id, pd.products_name, pc.categories_id FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, " .  TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " pc WHERE p.products_status='1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pc.products_id = p.products_id and language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and   pc.categories_id = '".$current_category_id."' ORDER BY rand()");

Is this correct?

Thanks,

Donna

For those of you not getting any description on the default page... I just tested again and it seems to be working fine....

You have to make sure you set the languages/english/meta_tags.php index file.

If you have please post that page so I can see how you entered it - alos turn cache off at this point to help trouble shoot your issue.
