Warning: main(includes/functions/meta.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/20/d283444189/htdocs/catalog/includes/meta_tags.php on line 54

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/functions/meta.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php') in /homepages/20/d283444189/htdocs/catalog/includes/meta_tags.php on line 54

whats gone wrong?

I am having the same problem. I now have three similar messages at the top of my website after installing Easy Meta Tags 1.6. I followed the install instructions exactly, but now I have these three error messages showing for all the world to see.

I didn't understand the response to your message (I'm a VERY new user). Do I need to install another add-on to go with the one I already installed?

Can you help me?

1. uninstall and remove files from other meta tags contribs which you might have added previously...the error abow is from cDynamic Meta Tags.


2. Easy meta tags install is very easy...

2.1 upload the file named , easy_meta_tags.php, included in the package into the /includes/ folder of your shop.

2.2 for any of the shop files you want meta tags: (typically, products_info.php , index.php and products_reviews_info.php)

you then just replace:

Quote

<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>

with

Quote

<?php include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'easy_meta_tags.php'); ?>

Dear toyicebear,

THANK YOU SO MUCH! The mistake I had made was to upload the easy_meta_tags.ZIP rather tha .PHP. I uninstalled that and installed the correct file and it was all fixed.

Thank you so much!

Now would you be able to point me in the correct direction to find the support thread(?) that will tell me how to actually add the tags?

Sorry for my unending string of questions.

Thanks again,
Jamie

Using Easy Meta Tags you do not add any tags, its all done automatically.

The only tags you add is for the frontpage and those are edited in the main language file .. ie. for english in includes/languages/english.php

Easy Meta tags support tread...

Hi
I use cDynamic_Meta_Tags v1.5.3
and there is a meta_tags.php for every language. this has been translated for bulgarian.
the problem is with the sql file

INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Store Description', 'STORE_DESCRIPT', 'The Next Level Of osCommerce', 'Place your sites meta description here, for use with dynamic meta-tags<br>Leave empty for no description<br>', 1, 40, NULL, '2003-12-05 05:01:41', NULL,'tep_cfg_textarea(');
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Store Index Description', 'STORE_METDEX', 'Productivity Sold Here', 'Place a seperate \r\nindex page meta description here, for use with dynamic meta-tags<br>Leave empty for no description<br>', 1, 41, NULL, '2003-12-05 05:01:41', NULL,'tep_cfg_textarea(');
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Store Key Words', 'STORE_KEYWORD', 'ecommerce, oscommerce, shopping cart', 'Place your sites meta key words here, for use with dynamic meta-tags<br>', 1, 42, NULL, '2003-12-05 05:01:41', NULL,'tep_cfg_textarea(');

you can see it goes to configuration table and there are STORE_DESCRIPT, STORE_METDEX, STORE_KEYWORD, you can modify this, but only in one language. The name of every page is your pages details plus some of the above that can be only in one language. The linking words (from ...\lang\lang\meta_tags.php) are picked up for the proper language.
Any ideas will be appreciated

- Further SEO optimization
- Has category description as an optional add-in.

Conclusion

This is a very good seo tool for those who have a pre-populated shop with many categories and products or for those who fill up their products using feed import as well as it is a very easy server load which is more and more important the larger your product/category numbers get.

Also its a good tool for those who want to have meta tags and titles but who do not want to manually insert them.

Last but not least if the header tags install is to much for you, then the easy install of this one will probably appeal to you.
