Header Tags for novices


GemRock

Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I just installed this contribution, and it seemed to work fine. However, I do have one question. As I scroll through pages on my site http://www.ginelectronics.com/catalog (if you nned to look), the Header tags begin with categories that the page nis in, i.e.,

 

<title>Speaker Wire / Cable Ultralink Speaker Wire / Cable - GIN Electronics</title>

<meta name="description" content="Speaker Wire / Cable Ultralink Speaker Wire / Cable">

<meta name="keywords" content="Speaker Wire / Cable Ultralink Speaker Wire / Cable">

 

I just wrote in this to make it simple. I went to edit the tags to my own instead of default, and I just wrote in the same for all three (title, keywords, & desription) Ultralink Speaker Wire / Cable, and instead I got the above. Is this the manner in which it supposed to work?

By deault, that is, if you dont fill in the text boxes for tilte, keyword or description, then it uses product name for keyword, product description for the description meta tag. If, however, you enter text in any of the 3 text boxes in admin, then it will use what you enter for the title, keyword and description neta tags, respectively. ifyou only enter text in the title box then only the the title meta tag will be affected, and so are the other two text boxes.

It will not fill in all the 3 meta tags with what you enter in only one of the text boxes, ie, each text box corresponds to only one meta tag.

Then make sure you use the following standard way of propagating the tags:

 

<title><?php echo $header_tags[title_tag]; ?></title>
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $header_tags[desc_tag]; ?>">
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $header_tags[keywords_tag]; ?>">

Here is what I have now on Index.php:

 

<head>

<title><?php echo (strlen($categories['categories_name']) > 1) || (strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > 1) ? $breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' ') . ' - ' . TITLE : TITLE; ?></title>

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo (strlen($categories['categories_name']) > 1) || (strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > 1) ? strip_tags($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' ')) : 'Sales of speaker wire, in wall speakers, monster cable, 70 volt speakers & 70v amplifiers, volume controls, and more'; ?>">

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo (strlen($categories['categories_name']) > 1) || (strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > 1) ? strip_tags($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' ')) : 'speaker wire, in wall speakers, monster cable, audio systems, 70 volt speakers, 70v amplifiers, monster cable, volume controls, intercoms, observation security, tv mount, a v cables, video screens, video projectors, rg6 rg59, coax cat5 cable'; ?>">

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">

</head>

 

and this on product info.php

 

<head>

<title><?php echo $header_tags[title_tag]; ?></title>

<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $header_tags[desc_tag]; ?>">

<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $header_tags[keywords_tag]; ?>">

<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">

<script language="javascript"><!--

function popupWindow(url) {

window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res

izable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,le

ft=150')

}

//--></script>

</head>

 

Does this help?

What I said only applied to the product_info page, and not the index.php home page.

your product info page should show the 3 meta tags correctly based on what you posted above.

is this not what you entered for this product at admin - edit header tags:

<meta name="description" content="Siamese RG59/U Cable & 18-Gauge Power Wire">

<meta name="keywords" content="Siamese RG59/U Cable & 18-Gauge Power Wire">

you obviously enterred the same info for both descr & keyword tags, or your installation has some problem which I dont know for sure (it could be anything).

to test your installation, you can try to delete what you enterred for the header & keyword tags, ie, use the product name for keyword tag and product description for descrip tag, which is the default. If you can see that happens, then your installation is correct and it should work.

I installed a couple other meta tag contributions and never liked them or didn't get them to work. This contribution looks great and I would love to be able to use it, but I'm afraid I screwed up something with my previous contribution installs. After many hours of trying to resolve this myself I have come to the conclusion that I need help!

 

I can see the admin section no problem, and I added meta tags for each prodcut, but the meta tags are not added to my pages.

I set each meta tag for "BD TEST" on this page:

http://www.vegasmaximus.com/store/catalog/...;products_id=28

But everything comes up as "DVDs", which is the category.

 

I am using STS for the index page, but not the product_info pages, so I don't believe STS has anything to do with it.

 

If anybody can resolve this for me I would be extremely appreciative. Below are my application_top and product_info files. If there are more files I need to post, just let me know which ones and I will post them. THANKS!

 

Here we go.

It seems you are the second person to report this. I dont have time at the moment but will try to look into this issue and conduct more tests under different server conditions, then post back here.

Normally it doesnt take several hrs to install this contribution and it should work straightaway.

Meantime, if you could give some info regarding your hosting server such as php version and things like register_globals settings.

Good Luck!

Thanks for the response GemRock. Yeah, your contribution looks very well done and easy to implement but I got myself in trouble by installing and uninstalling too many meta tag contributions.

 

Here is the server info you requested:

Thanks again for your help.

Sorry guys, its taken so long to respond. :o

 

I have re-tested the contribution (dynamic header tags for novices) on php 4.4.4 and 5.2.0 to 5.2.4, with register_globals on or off, and do not see any problems as mentioned in Brian (futurestar)'s posts.

 

I have set up a demo site so that you can take a look if you like. The demo will allow you to edit the title tag, keyword tag and description tag (remember to click the Update button to save your entry), and see the result by clicking on the product name then look at the page source. This demo site is running under php 5.2.4 with register_globals set to OFF.

 

To access the demo site, go to my home page on the left (view member profile), on the ecommerce link on the home page, click on the osCommerce logo.

 

Please do not try to access other parts of the admin area on the demo site.

 

If there is any problem, please let me know.

Great mod but I'm having a problem with it.

 

The Category pages are showing the right meta data, but the product pages don't. These pages have the same as that of the category above it...

Another thing: When I manually insert metadata, it doesn't show up on the page.

hi Johan

 

have you looked at/tried the demo I posted above? you'd see it works as intended.

The demo site basically uses the default installation for the contribution. below is what I put in the product_info.php (I am actually copying it from the demo site):

 

<title><?php echo $header_tags[title_tag] . ' | '. TITLE; ?></title>
<meta name="description" content="<?php echo $header_tags[desc_tag]; ?>">
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $header_tags[keywords_tag]; ?>">

 

I may post the contribution and installation instructions on the site when I got more time.

For all you using STS with this contrib, here's my mod for it.

 

Page title:

if landing on a Category page -> Name of site - Category 1 - Category 2..etc

if landing on a Product page -> Name of site - Category 1 | Productname

if landing on all other pages -> Name of site - Heading title

 

Of course, if you have defined any headertags (title,keywords,description) in admin then these will show instead.

 

in includes/modules/sts_inc/general.php:

	$sts->template['headertags']= "<title>";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= (strlen($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ')) > 0) ? TITLE . ' - ' . $breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ') . ' | ' . $header_tags[title_tag] : TITLE . ' - ' . HEADING_TITLE;
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "</title>\n";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= htmlspecialchars(strlen($header_tags[products_name])>0?$header_tags[products_name]:HEADING_TITLE) . ' ' . htmlspecialchars($header_tags[desc_tag]);
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "\">\n<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= htmlspecialchars($header_tags[keywords_tag]);
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "\">\n";

 

Since pages created with ie. Information Pages Unlimited or Extra pages-info box w/Admin don't define a Heading Title we need to add some extra code for this.

 

For Information Pages Unlimited:

in information.php:

Find

?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Change to

	define('HEADING_TITLE', $title);
?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

 

For Extra pages-info box w/Admin:

in extra_info_pages.php:

Find

?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

Change to

define('HEADING_TITLE', $page_check[pages_title]);
?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

This works wonderfully. Thank you so much!

 

The only problem is that on product pages I'm getting a double product name in the title with the above code ???

 

Store - Manufacturer | product title Manufacturer product title

sorry but I dont use any of the template add-ons, hope someone who uses STS & my contribution would be able to answer your question if you have not figured it out by now (doesnt look like a difficult one).

Good luck!

I haven't figured it out yet, but the answer must be in the code above that seems to be the best (and in all other respects works great)

 

Using

$sts->template['headertags']= "<title>";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= (strlen($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ')) > 0) ? TITLE . ' - ' . $breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ') . ' | ' . $header_tags[title_tag] : TITLE . ' - ' . HEADING_TITLE;
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "</title>\n";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= htmlspecialchars(strlen($header_tags[products_name])>0?$header_tags[products_name]:HEADING_TITLE) . ' ' . htmlspecialchars($header_tags[desc_tag]);
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "\">\n<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"";
$sts->template['headertags'] .= htmlspecialchars($header_tags[keywords_tag]);
$sts->template['headertags'] .= "\">\n";

Instead of the designed if landing on a Product page ->

Name of site - Category 1 | Productname

if I load a URL such as

product_info.php?cPath=53&products_id=516

I get

Name of site - category | category Productname

 

One other issue I have that is more pressing:

If I load simply

index.php?cPath=53 (or any category)

I am seeing a good page title

Name of site - category |

 

but description is

<meta name="description" content="Let's See What We Have Here ">

<meta name="keywords" content="">

 

How do I get the category name into the description instead of "let's see what we have here"?

This is the relevant part of the code:

$sts->template['headertags'] .=  (strlen($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ')) > 0) ? TITLE . ' - '  . $breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ') . ' | ' .  $header_tags[title_tag] : TITLE . ' - ' . HEADING_TITLE;

there are 3 parts:

1.

strlen($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ')) > 0

if it is not a zero length string, then shows:

2.

TITLE . ' - '  . $breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ') . ' | ' .  $header_tags[title_tag]

otherwise shows:

3.

TITLE . ' - ' . HEADING_TITLE;

.

the problem is with 2 above. I guess you just need to delete

' - '  . $breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ') .

in 2, ie, anything between TITLE . and ' | '. so now it becomes:

$sts->template['headertags'] .=  (strlen($breadcrumb_tags->trail_tags(' - ')) > 0) ? TITLE .  ' | ' .  $header_tags[title_tag] : TITLE . ' - ' . HEADING_TITLE;

 

For your second question, it is because theres no product name on the home/index page so it just shows the HEADING_TITLE, which is something to do with the STS add-on you used. so you just need to replace HEADING_TITLE (in english.php or index.php - language file) with anything you like, or delete it. eg, instead of the original

?$header_tags[products_name]:HEADING_TITLE) . ' ' . htmlspecialchars($header_tags[desc_tag]);

you can change it to:

?$header_tags[products_name]:'wonderful products from the best manufacturers using space technology etc') . ' ' . htmlspecialchars($header_tags[desc_tag]);

Hello!

 

I didn't want to open a new topic so I decided to stay in this thread.

I just installed this great contribtution and works like a charme.

One question to the producrs-description.

Wouldn't it be good to limit the description of a product to let's say

200 signs or letters or so? How could one achieve this? Or am I wrong?

I mean by default wihtout a product description added in header_tags_edit.php

the description of the product is used and that is usually very long.

So just limiting it by displaying the first 200 charackers would be enough?

 

cheers

Thats exactly what it does - 1000 characters, ie, 200 words - as far as I remember. The limit is in the code added to application_top.php: notice the number 1000?
