This contribution works like a charm, however Search and Advanced Search do not query the Custom META tags fields. This is likely by design, however I need cart search to include the custom meta tags.

How would I extend cart search to query the Custom META tags fields in the database?

Thanks,
EricK

Here's the contribution link:
Custom META Tags per ITEM - Contribution

Custom META Tags per Item v1.0

This contribution allows you to set which META Tags & page TITLE are displayed on a per-product, per-category, and per-subCategory basis. This is an important step towards SEO! The following custom fields are stored in the database for each product, category, & subcategory:
META Keywords
META Description
TITLE (i.e. <TITLE></TITLE>)

This can be used to set default META Tags & page TITLE for your entire OSC store. If a product or category doesn't have an entry for any of the 3 custom fields, it will display the default for those fields.

All entries are controlled using the admin console.

Multi-language is supported for the product tags.

Extra fields are added to the database to hold the custom fields, so this contribution should be very benign in it's interaction with other contributions.

I heavily modified & extended Daniel Richards original 'custom meta tags' contribution to include extra fields, multi-language capabilities, and extra functionality.

This contribution has been tested with Ultimate SEO URLs.

I hope this helps y'all place well in the search engines!

PLEASE HELP!! Beyond frustration, cannot get this script to work with OscMax.

I have had this contib installed for a few weeks now.
It seemed to work (mostly for the index page) when I installed it, and search engines were picking up the site.  But now I have'nt had a search engine (or even an unwanted spider) crawl my site in over two weeks.

Anyone have any theories about whether this contrib actually works?

I installed your contribution on a test site on a local machine and it seems to work fine.

However, when I installed it on two online shops, only the default tags I entered in /includes/functions/general.php show up. phpMyAdmin indicates that my entries are present in the database.

Everything seems to be the same as far as I can tell for both the local and remote sites. I am baffled. Help would be appreciated.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE in /home/realwear/public_html/shop/admin/categories.php on line 949.

  Hi There,

I just have a few dumb questions regarding this contribution pack.

How do I run a SQL script? And which installation method can be easily executed for a starter like myself?
Would you have an installation guidline for me?

Thanks alot for answering my queries.


Have a great night!

Hello Everyone,

I have added 3 contributions to my cart , MVS, xsell and category descriptions. I would like to know how well the Custom META Tags per ITEM works with these contributions. I am mostly concerned with the category descriptions. If anyone is running a similar combination of contributions or has any info regarding this would you mind posting it for me here?

Thanks,

Lisa

[lisa65]

Well, considering the lack of response I went ahead and installed the contribution. It works just fine but I had modify my installation a little to avoid messing up my installation of MVS.

Great contribution but maybe the addition of custom category meta tags could be added someday.

Thanks for the contribution.

Lisa

[lisa65]

Is anyone supporting the contribution?

My custom meta tags are being generated for categories but I can't seem to get the custom tags to show for products. They have the defaults even though I have defined custom tags.

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi everyone   ,

Love this contribute!  Got a question, is there a way to dynamically set the meta tags and page titles using the original product information?

Page title = The Product name + Store name
Keywords = Keywords set in general + The product name
Description = The Product's description

Instead of setting each product keywords and description individually in the admin.

Many thanks for your help,  

Kenny

Hi,

I would like to thank you, Randelia for your contribution - Custom MetaTag Per Item!

I just have one question.
I keep getting this error message when I click on the category or the manufacturer list:

1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_id' in 'on clause'

select count(p.products_id) as total from products_description pd, products p left join manufacturers m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id, products_to_categories p2c left join specials s on p.products_id = s.products_id where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.products_id = p2c.products_id and pd.language_id = '1' and p2c.categories_id = '69'

Could anyone please help me as I have to get this site up and running ASAP.

Thank You!

Am having a similar problem. I got the title tag to show up for each product but it's still showing the default description and default keywords tags in the source code instead of the custom ones set in the admin panel. Can't see where I went wrong in the install and don't know why it's not showing the correct meta tags. Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

I have noticed on my install that when on the  "Configuration - My Store" page, the "Use Search-Engine Safe URLs" is set to true, it does not show the specified meta tags for the product page. When it is set to false it shows them.... Is this the same error that everyone else is getting? Does any one know how to fix this?

  I am having a few errors, when I go to edit a product, all of the products information is removed and gone? And the two errors are shown:
Could this be something to do with the database being edited via the script?

Thanks

i got this when i first installed the module (I did the line by line code update)... to solve it i uploaded the files supplied from the admin and the categories.php and then redid my modifications to those files.. i've just got the issue with the "Use Search-Engine Safe URLs" to fix
