OK I may be getting somewhere with this problem.  I am running on a windows test machine using WAMPSERVER before I go live with it.

I double check my hacks and they are all correct.  I tested my uploads four times and they were all correct as well.  When I run the test, I get these results:
Permissions Error:  explain Cannot find file /mytestsite/emptyadmin/123admin/header_tags_seo.php.   

The error is saying the code can't find the file. If the files are there, then your configure file is not setup correctly. Nothing else can cause that error, at least that I can think of.

No, it doesn't do that, though it is a godd idea. I'll look into adding it in the next version.

I've got a weird problem. I've installed STS, SEO url's, and some others including Header Tags SEO. I've got three Header Tags SEO links showing up in my admin. The first two give different links to a whole different set of functions and the one at the bottom gets me a page not found error. Please see the screen shot below. What do you think's happening? I know I probably screwed up the installation on one of these and I went over the instructions three times trying to track down the problem.

The two in admin->Configuration are the settings for Header Tags SEO, though there should only be one. The script should not be able to do that unless there was already an existing section in the database. You can try running the uninstall file and then the install again. If that doesn't provide just one, then your database would have to be edited manually.

I didn't know there was an uninstall file. Will it affect my other mods? I also have a problem with the title tag. It says "Replace me in Page Control under index.php". I can't find anything called Page Control. I think I have this all screwed up. Maybe I should just save my database in EZ Populate and then start over?

The uninstall will only remove the Header Tags SEO database entries. But, as mentioned, it may not work in your case since there is a problem. Page Control is in admin->Header Tags SEO.

Well, I figure I'll spend a day fixing this anyway and it'll probably take most of the day to start completely over so what the heck, I'll start over.

I will be installing STS v4.6, Header Tags SEO c3.2.8, Ultimate SEO URL's 5, Security Pro 2.0, FedEx Web Services, Google Feeder 3.0, Quantity Discounts, Monthly Sales Reports, Quickbooks plugin, and on and on and on..... Hey, maybe I should just fix the Header Tags SEO!!! So I'll give 'er another try. Big fun! Eh?

Thanks Jack!

Hi,
I'm installing this Contribution to my 2.3.1 store

On step 2:

2) In index.php

FIND (Around line 38)

  if ($category_depth == 'nested') {
    $category_query = tep_db_query("select cd.categories_name, c.categories_image from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " cd where c.categories_id = '" .

    $category = tep_db_fetch_array($category_query);

You are using a tempate that has changed the basic file structure of your shop. Whoever did your template has moved the nested section to an external file, as shown by the above command. You will need to look in that file for the changes. They may not be exactly as the code mentions but there's no way to write instructions for all of the variations so you're on you own in a case like this.

Jack, I'm not sure if Headtag SEO deals with this but I'll ask and see where it goes.

I was working with Bing Webmaster tools and saw there what they call a "seo issue" in that my product listings images don't have have the product image alt text attribute.

To clarify,  this is on the page where the product is displayed wwwdotmyshopdotcom/a-very-nice-product.html.   This occurrs for 2.3.1 shops, the 2.2 level shops are fine.  If it's not Header Tags SEO, I'll look elsewhere.  Thanks

The Header Tags changes for the product page doesn't change the image display code. I checked my 2.3 installation here though and the image as the alt tag filled in so it would seem to be something related to your shop.

Thanks for checking that out Jack.  I have a idea what might be causing this now.  Thanks

Jack, I posted a new thread on this matter here, but I wanted to mention that I do get alt text if I have just one image, but with multiple images on a product,  I lose the alt text in the 2.3.1 shops.

Hello Jack.

I have OSC 2.31 and Header Tags SEO 3.2.6 (I was unable to update to 3.2.8 and I went back)

I need the product name in the breadcrumb trail be different from Meta title tag.

When I change some thing in the "Product Title Tag" field in the product admin page, the product name in the breadcrumb trail appears changed automatically at the same time.
Is like if the breadcrumb trail took the product name from the "Product Title Tag" field instead of  the product name field

Why could it be happening?

How can I achieve that what I need?


Thanks a lot for your valuable support.

Yes, that is how it is supposed to work. The idea behind it is that all keywords for the page should match. If you don't want the breadcrumb to work that way, then skip the step that changes the includes/application_top.php file.

Thanks Jack,

Please help me with another question.

My (Header Tag SEO´s) admin configuration page has many configuration lines duplicated but all of the are duplicated.

For example:
"Automatically Add New Pages" appears two times on the list.
"Check for Missing Tags" appears two times on the list.
"Clear Cache"  appears two times on the list.

but:
"Display Currently Viewing" appears one time on the list.
"Display Page Top Title" appears one time on the list.

Why could be happening here?

Thanks again.

I can't say without knowing how you upgraded or installed Header Tags but, somehow, some of the settings were duplicated. If this is a new installation, then just use the uninstall and install scripts. If not, then you will have to manually delete the duplicate items in the database.

Hi Jack,
It seems that my site repeats the same title bar tag regardless of what product page I am on. I reinstalled the latest version and it still does it.
Example:HAN1202 - Tool Organizers - - Post Style Socket Organiser - 1/2" Drive; Metric appears at the top of each page even when I navigate to the shipping page.
Any ideas?

It might be that you haven't checked the category or product boxes in Page Control for the index.php and product_info.php pages, or maybe you just have the default options checked.
