Hi Robot,

Your contrib seems really great but I have a question :

I have a Url rewriting contrib and all my url are (normally) different for each languages of my website :

For exemple : A product is www.com/english-exemple-p-152.html or www.com/french-exemple-p-152.html

Since few weeks, for some pages, Google takes this URL : www.com/p-152.html or www.com/english-exemple-p-152.html for the french page.

I want to have a solution to inform Google than the canonical URL of a page is www.com/french-exemple-p-152.html (for the french pages instead of www.com/english-exemple-p-152.html when Goole index the wrong url) or www.com/french-exemple-p-152.html when Google index a wrong url like www.com/p-152.html.

About the languages : I'll open different websites for each language so I finally need more a solution to "clean" the google index a give him, fro each dynamical page, the url I made (URL from the data base).

May your contrib do that ?

It will yes, all of the pages will have a canonical element so page www.com/french-exemple-p-152.html would have a canonical link pointing to that page.

And www.com/-p-152.html to www.com/french-exemple-p-152.html ? thanks

Yes . . KissMT will request a brand new seo url from the system for the canonical link using index.php?products_id=152 as long as seo urls produces a good link then the canonical link will be correct.

Are you using that Magic Seo Urls thing for your multi languages? because Ultimate Seo Urls 5 PRO will be released relatively soon and is looking for beta testers.

Not Magic Seo Urls but Ultimate SEO url (old version).

I have a really old version of CRE which I haven't looked at for ages.

I had a quick look and the <title></title> needs to be changed in templates/<my current template>/main_page.tpl.php

BUT there will be an issue with the breadcrumb at least as it is different code in CRE.

I may have a look tomorrow if I get a sec.

Actually it seems to work fine with the little testing I have done so far. In the instructions ...

Instead of replacing <title></title> in all the catalog files you just change it in templates/<my current template>/main_page.tpl.php

Hi,
I have just installed this add on at a dev site for testing and included the relevant tag into shipping, privacy etc., but when viewing these pages a box named KissMT Dynamic SEO Meta Tags appears in the footer which should not be there ...
http://affordable-website-design.me.uk/oscommerce/shipping.php
and
http://affordable-website-design.me.uk/oscommerce/hardware-c-1.html
I am not sure how to remove this, please advise.

Debug output, it is set to on when you install.

If you have extras you turn off in admin.

Otherwise . . open catalog/includes/modules/kiss_meta_tags/includes/init.php

  /**
  * Output the performance info - you'll see it at the bottom of the page.
  * string true / false
  */
  @define( 'KISSMT_PERFORMANCE_OUTPUT', 'false' );

Thanks for the swift response and the very useful add-on - I have not added extras although intend to do so next and will leave debug on until after completed testing but as this is set to default on install, respectfully suggest that this is mentioned in the install file ;-)

Thanks again :-D

I have same problem CHARSETs with ISO-8859-9 and windows-1254 which support Turkish
Can you please modify this great addon for those charsets?
Thanks in advance.

FWR Media, on 18 January 2010 - 10:53 AM, said:

No new version needs to be uploaded this is just for your information.

Changelog:

• Wrapped the htmlentities and html_entity_decode functions to allow a bypass for ISO-8859-2 which is not supported by either htmlspecialchars or htmlentities.
• Added Information Pages module.
• Added full set of modules for Newsdesk.

If anyone needs the changes for ISO-8859-2 or the addon modules for Information Pages or Newsdesk just send me a PM and I'll send a download link.

Have sent you a download link to the latest revision.

you just need to "drop on top" the modules/kiss_meta_tags/ directory .. no need for other changes.

Hi Tom

Your English is just fine.

How long have you had KissMT installed? Google and friends sometimes take a while to update their listings, there is little anyone can do to speed the process.

[FWR Media]

Important Notice:

As standard KissMT currently sets the canonical link of the root page as www.mysite.com/index.php.

The reason for this is that there is internal linking to this ( breadcrumb etc. ) whereas there is no internal linking to the version without index.php.

It has been brought to my attention that users may wish their root page to be www.mysite.com/ ( without the index.php ) and further investigation following helpful information by squid ( a forum member ) suggests that the version without the index.php could be a better standard option.

This will be addressed in the new revision but for current users wishing to have this now .. the code change is below: -

open catalog/includes/modules/kiss_meta_tags/abstracts/kiss_modules.php

Find ..

	private function forceHttp( $the_current_canonical_link ) {

change to ..

	private function forceHttp( $the_current_canonical_link ) {
	  // mod suggested by squid - thanks
	  if ( substr( $the_current_canonical_link, -strlen( FILENAME_DEFAULT ), strlen( $the_current_canonical_link ) ) == FILENAME_DEFAULT ) {
		$the_current_canonical_link = substr( $the_current_canonical_link, 0, strlen( $the_current_canonical_link )-strlen( FILENAME_DEFAULT ) );
	  }

Another point correctly brought to my attention by squid is that if you currently have code in place in .htaccess to redirect www.mysite.com/index.php to www.mysite.com/ this should now be removed as the canonical element will do the same job.
