Shuey Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 How the tags are marked in the different templates/STS versions might differ some. In regards to Easy Meta Tags in an STS shop it then uses the $headcontent tag to provide the meta info. For any more info on STS please head over to the STS support tread. Thanks for your help so far. I've added the headcontent tag and it's pulling the right info for some pages. My products pages, example: http://inveniotechnology.com/product_info....products_id=560 are pulling the meta tag information, however for other pages such as: http://inveniotechnology.com/networkdesign.php it is not pulling any information. Can anyone lend some assistance. Thanks, Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuey Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 $meta_title_tag = $product_meta['products_name'] . ' - ' . $product_meta['products_model']; i've updated to the latest version easy meta tags, and unfortunately written over my old file. i've put in the tag above, however it does not pull the products_model. how can i modify the file so the model will also show up in the title? thanks for your continued help! dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥toyicebear Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 can anyone help? You have to edit the products part of the easy_meta_tags.php file and make sure model number is included in the db query and then that its added to the meta string.

night_fire Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I have looked and didn't see this, so i thought I would ask. This works great but have one question. How can I change it to display the name of the Store after or before the tag. Not sure if I'm wording that right. Example... If I click in product it says at the top. "ice cream maker - Mozilla Firefox" without quotes is there a way to make it say something like ( ice cream maker - my name - Mozilla Firefox) or (my name - ice cream maker - Mozilla Firefox) Thanks Quote Custom PC's, Components, Liquid Cooling, Notebooks and More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osCommaniak Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 UPDATED: Easy Meta Tags 1.6 - Now with page numbers for split category pages to prevent search engine duplicate content penalties. When I watch a category in which there is only one page of the products, then I have in title: my_name_of_categoryArray. Therefore, I changed your fragment with: if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['page']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['page'] != '1')) { $page = ' - ' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['page']; $meta_title_tag = $category_name['categories_name'] . $page; $meta_description_tag = STORE_NAME . ' : ' . $category_name['categories_name'] . $page; $meta_keywords_tag = $category_name['categories_name'] . $page; } else { $meta_title_tag = $category_name['categories_name']; $meta_description_tag = STORE_NAME . ' : ' . $category_name['categories_name']; $meta_keywords_tag = $category_name['categories_name']; } In addition, w3c validation requires subtraction / (together with space before / sign) from meta. Here revised part of code: echo '<meta name="description" content="' . $meta_description_tag . '">' . "\n"; echo '<meta name="keywords" content="' . $meta_keywords_tag . '">' . "\n"; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"\n"; Point 1 is something "unique" for your set-up and should not affect others. The W3C validation is based on which doc type your site have. html 4.01 needs no slash at the end of the meta tag bracket while xhtml 1.0 does need a slash at the end of the meta tag bracket Edited September 18, 2009 by toyicebear Quote Basics for osC 2.2 Design - Basics for Design V2.3+ - Seo & Sef Url's - Meta Tags for Your osC Shop - Steps to prevent Fraud... - MS3 and Team News... - SEO, Meta Tags, SEF Urls and osCommerce - Commercial Support Inquiries - OSC 2.3+ How To To see what more i can do for you check out my profile [click here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobster101 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hi there, I downloaded the Easy Meta tags 1.7 and installed "very easy v1-2-4" and followed the instructions... I replaced <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> with <?php include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'easy_meta_tags.php'); ?> in index.php, product_info.php and product_reviews_info.php I then added (in index.php) : <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <title>WEBSITE NAME|BRAND NAME|BRAND NAME|BRAND NAME|</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en"> <meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION OF MY WEBSITE AND THE STUFF I SELL"> <meta name="keywords" content="KEYWORDS RELATED TO THE STUFF I SELL"> </head> <?php include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'easy_meta_tags.php'); ?> i found that the "title" of my website changed to the desired "WEBSITE NAME|BRAND NAME|BRAND NAME|BRAND NAME - mozilla", whereas before it was simply just "website name -mozilla firefox" The problem that i have is that i can't see the description or the keyword content that i added ... is the above way correct or not? what do i need to enter for my decription + keywords to show up on my website? I'm quite a stuck newbie, so any help would be much appreciated. many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'easy_meta_tags.php'); ?> 2. if you use the 1.6 + series you do this: replace <title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title> with <?php include(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'easy_meta_tags.php'); ?> AND you add the defines as described in the install file to your language files. You DO NOT add anything else especially not meta/title info as you have described doing: I then added (in index.php) : <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> <title>WEBSITE NAME|BRAND NAME|BRAND NAME|BRAND NAME|</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en"> <meta name="description" content="DESCRIPTION OF MY WEBSITE AND THE STUFF I SELL"> <meta name="keywords" content="KEYWORDS RELATED TO THE STUFF I SELL"> </head> Quote Basics for osC 2.2 Design - Basics for Design V2.3+ - Seo & Sef Url's - Meta Tags for Your osC Shop - Steps to prevent Fraud... - MS3 and Team News... - SEO, Meta Tags, SEF Urls and osCommerce - Commercial Support Inquiries - OSC 2.3+ How To To see what more i can do for you check out my profile [click here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
