No, I don't see any error that has to do with this contribution
So you did your job just fine

When I turn of STS I can see that the meta tags are showing up.
So the only thing that needs to be done is the link with STS

Can I suggest that you do a quick post in the STS support thread and see if we can find out the correct files to add title /title code?

although I feel that the other mods to index.php re: h1 tags will get stuffed by STS also.

It would help me out too for future STS users.

Probably includes/modules/sts_inc/general.php
and
includes/header.php

Header Tags SEO uses these files too.
Unfortunately I'm not that good with STS (I tried converting the code for that contribution to this one)
I wasn't able to fix it right away. I'll give it another go tomorrow.

Canonical tags are only added when a oscid is found in the url? Or also when a language or currency is found?

This contri seems to work perfectly so far. Dead easy installation. Only thing i still have to do is remove the header tag contri i used before.

It is rather more complex than that.

canonical links show for ..

language
osCsid
currency
paging (splitpage results) (although mostly a noindex follow tag here)

also

Canonical links show where there is uneccessary querystring e.g.

When you go from categories to reach a product cPath is appended.

If you go from the manufacturers dropdown to a product manufacturers_id is appended etc. etc.

Glad that you like it and found it easy to install.

Have you seen the new stopwords Onno?

They will probably be laughable to a Dutchman however

I've used the list you posted. Other lists i found were about as long. I`ll just manually add some more stopwords which I wish to filter.

[FWR Media]

Multi language stopwords now increased to 9.

Spanish
German
Dutch
Danish
Italian
Romanian
French
Swedish
Norwegian

[Onnootje]

More stopwords here: http://members.unine.ch/jacques.savoy/clef/index.html
or here http://stanford.edu/dept/itss/docs/oracle/10g/text.101/b10730/astopsup.htm

Is it possible to filter numbers without having to list every individual number?

Filter for what? numbers on their own should already be filtered from keywords e.g.

A product called Wiggit 150

Should create the keyword wiggit only.

whereas a product called Wiggit150

Would create a keyword wiggit150 as it is part and parcel of the product name.

Odd .. that description has multiple spaces in it .. they should have been stripped to single spaces.

Re: The numbers it wouldn't be correct for the description to be stripped of numbers, the most important aspect is to ensure that the first 156 - 161 characters contain the main keywords and an attractive description for SE displayed results.

[FWR Media]

Preparing for an initial release (following feedback from the beta testers, thanks guys)

I am now adding support for the major contributions.

Current:
Added support for Articles Manager.

[Mister_dj]

I still wasn't able to integrate the contribution in STS.
Maybe you could check the STS manual? As you are a coder maybe you can understand what needs to be done.

I think many people use STS and could benefit from this contribution.

Yes many people use STS. But it's beyond my understanding as to why.

I think the STS forum should be the place to handle why valid contributions do not work when that particular code is in place.

[edit]I'll probably have a look tomorrow though as it's you [/edit]

Installation online (standard rc2a and online) was without problems as far as i can see.
Will re-read the docs and this thread in next few days.

Also here spaces in decription:

Thanks for reporting your initial findings back John.

Re: spaces .. spaces are fine it was multiple spaces that are not. The issue I think with the post above yours is that KissMT strips up to 9 spaces and in his description it seems there were more.

Hello, i'm interested too to try this contrib. My shop has 3 different languages and my metatags are poor.

Installed it. I have a 5.3.1 php hosting. Installed also the extensions

I have an issue in the product_info.php page.

The meta description reports the entire text of the product description. There is a way to set a maximum number of characters?

The same for the keyword meta tag.

there possibly will be, but the general thought at the moment is that although e.g. Google has a "favoured" number of decription characters/keywords characters it makes no difference at all whether yours is longer.

All that happens is that Google truncates down to the length they accept.

This is also a very important lesson in writing such things imo as in the description if Google accepts (last time I looked) 165 characters then the author must ensure that the keywords are not only within that length but human readable and human attractive as well.
Example of the length discrepency

Also there are thoughts that if every metric meets exact Google guidelines then your site is in danger of being tagged "an SEO site" Google doesn't like Seo sites it likes sites built for humans.
