Header Tags SEO


Jack_mcs

Recommended Posts

Hi again.

 

Just wondering about index.php

 

The order of things

Category1--->Subcategory----->ProductPage

 

When I click the main category link, HEADERTAGS shows "Category1 title"

 

 

When I click the subcategory link, the items it the subcategory are shown

and HEADERTAGS shows "Subcategory title"

 

 

How can I change it so that Subcategory HeaderTags shows: "Category1 title - Subcategory title"

 

I got it working for Breadcrumbs: home / Category1 title / Subcategory title

 

The reason I want it like this is because the subcategories in each main category are related products but not definite title.

 

For instance:

 

Home / Sony TV's / 46-52"

 

Category 1 = Sony

----->SubCategory 1 = 46-52"

 

HeaderTag Title when you click main Category1 shows "Sony"

But If I click SubCategory1 I get "46-52"" and NOT "Sony 46-52" (which is what I want).

 

Any ideas, hope this is clear.

Thanks.

In includes/header_tags.php, find this line
if ($defaultTags['meta_language']) echo ' <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-US" />'."\n";

and change it to

if ($defaultTags['meta_language']) { $langName = explode(",", $_SERVER["HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE"]); echo ' <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="' . $langName[0] . '" />'."\n"; }

 

I don't recall any prevent duplicates code in this contribution.

 

I don't have a installation of that contribution to look at but it has a base (real) file that is used to load pseudo pages, then it should work with Header Tags.

 

Jack

Thank's, Jack. The language is working.

 

I'm sorry, prevent duplicates is from other contrib. This is my fault. :blush:

 

The newsdesk articles is also good work with as a pseudo pages.

This problem appears when the defined name differs from the file name:

define('FILENAME_PAGES','extra_info_pages.php');

 

The solution is to make the defined name exactly as the file name is in your contribution code:

define('FILENAME_EXTRA_INFO_PAGES','extra_info_pages.php');

Thank you Stanislav and Jack.

Solution to make Extra Info Pages w/admin 4.6.1 (contribution http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2021) to work in Header Tages SEO

The extra pages contribution unfortunately uses the same file name as another contribution as pointed out by Jack and Stanislav.

This is what I did to make Extra Info Pages to work with Header Tags SEO

Delete (not sure if this is important) in Admin==>Header Tags Seo==>Page Control all extra_info_pages

in file catalog/includes/filenames.php

find

 define('FILENAME_PAGES', 'extra_info_pages.php');

change to

define('FILENAME_EXTRA_INFO_PAGES', 'extra_info_pages.php');

in file catalog/includes/boxes/extra_info_pages.php find

$link = FILENAME_PAGES . '?pages_id=' . $page['pages_id'];

replace with

$link = FILENAME_EXTRA_INFO_PAGES . '?pages_id=' . $page['pages_id'];

in this same file find

$page_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents"><a target="'.$target.'" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PAGES, 'pages_id=' .$page['pages_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $page['pages_title'] . '</a></td></tr>';

replace with

$page_list .= '<tr><td class="infoBoxContents"><a target="'.$target.'" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_EXTRA_INFO_PAGES, 'pages_id=' .$page['pages_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $page['pages_title'] . '</a></td></tr>';

This has solved it for me. Hope it will help someone else.

Many of the Ultimate SEO versions have mistakes in the code. The V 2_1d version I uploaded will work correctly. For other versions, you need to ask in that support thread.

I'm trying to install Header Tags SEO.

I've gone through the Install_Catalog.txt file and made changes., but in Step 3, making changes to index.php I can't find the following code that needs replacing:

 

 FIND (Around line 247)

   ?>
   <td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
     <tr>
       <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
         <tr>
           <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></td>

 

The only thing I have vaguely resembling it is:

<td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
     <tr>
       <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
         <tr>
     <td class="pageHeading"><?php echo $category['categories_name']; ?></td>

 

I don't want to overwrite this, as I need the category names to be displayed. But after completing all the other changes to the catalogue text file i don't get 'New Home Page Title' on the index page, which is needed before installing the Admin updates.

 

So... Can anyone point me to where I should add the following code:

 /*** Begin Header Tags SEO ***/
   if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']))
     $db_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_htc_title_tag as htc_title, manufacturers_htc_description as htc_description from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS_INFO . " where languages_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and manufacturers_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . "'");
   else
     $db_query = tep_db_query("select categories_htc_title_tag as htc_title, categories_htc_description as htc_description from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " where categories_id = '" . (int)$current_category_id . "' and language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");

   $htc = tep_db_fetch_array($db_query);
   ?>
   <td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
     <tr>
       <td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
         <tr>
           <td><h1><?php echo $htc['htc_title']; ?></h1></td>
   <?php /*** End Header Tags SEO ***/ ?>

 

Thanks

Dear Jack,

 

Using the Description Override function to fill products, i have a pb with the charset as I am in the charset=iso-8859-1,

 

I understand the description is in UTF8.

 

So, the source page looks like for french :

 

"meta name="Description" content="WP MICRO EC 135Modèle d'hélicoptère Indoor semi-maquette.Livré assemblé, prêt à voler et déjà réglé en vol."

 

Any idea how to fix that in your great contribution ?

 

Thank you in advance for your support,

 

Best regards

Yves

This involved two problems. First, the code you have has been altered so I can't talk you through that change. You wouldn't lose the category name since the Headere Tags code handles that. You can skip that part of the change but you will lose the option that allows you to have text below the category name.

 

But the above won't cause the title not to change. If you have made the database changes and the code change to the <head> section, then the 'New Home Page Title' title should display. That part can't be skipped since it would render the contribution almost useless.

The charset set is defined in the language file being used and isn't part of Header Tags. You can try changing it there but if that doesn't work, you'll need to post your question in the general forum.

Make sure you have the categories box and sort order set for the index.php file in page control. If you do, then it can only be the index.php file itself, and/or the includes/header_tags.php file, assuming other pages work OK.

That, along with the currently viewing code at the bottom of the page adds another link to the product, which the search engines count towards the page.

Thanks Jack,

I'm leaving the change around line 247 alone, but I don't get the 'New Home Page Title'.... so I've rechecked my code changes, can't find anything yet.

I just wandered what you meant by "code change to the <head> section", did you mean the header.php file or <head> in the index page. If the latter, what was the change?

 

Thanks

If the code is installed correctly, then the problem is in how the checkboxes and sort orders are setup. You can arrange them in any order. There have been many posts on this in this thread so I'm sure you can an example.

Dear Jack,

As far as I understand I have followed the instructions for 'how to operate' but my products keywords meta on new product page all come out as "keywords1,keywords2" followed by the keywords that I have actually entered on the product page in Admin.

The same goes for “products new description” See Below.

 

Please let me know how te delete these "keywords1,keywords2" and “products new description”

from the source page.

Thanks in advance

Rene

Thank you for your Work.

I have Header Tags SEO 3.13 installed and it works. But i have one mistake:

 

 

Google find : http://www.online-shop.de/-c-26.html

 

But the Produkt URL is : http://www.online-shop.de/new-productxyz-c-26.html

 

You can open both - but is this not duplicated Content ??

 

 

Hope you can understand me
