Header Tags SEO

Mort-lemur · March 14, 2010

Hi Jack,

Contribution is up and running great now, but just a couple of small questions:

1) On the product edit page I get "// header tags // header tags //header tags " displayed just above the product status radio buttons.

2) Somehow, and this has been like this since I installed version 3.1.5 and has stayed with me to update 3.1.9, I have two sets of meta tags, page titles and descriptions when I view the page source, what area of code / database could be causing me this ?.

Many Thanks

1 - See the troubleshooting notes for problems in admin.

2 - See the previous, recent, post regarding duplicate tags.

Hmm, still not seeing it here. If you are not using the latest version of Header Tags, you can try updating. If you are using some contribution that may affect the title, like STS or SEO URL 5, then try turning those off to see if it makes a difference. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions.

Jack,

I already installed nearly the latest version (v3.1.9).

But today, I found something in the /catalog/includes/classes/preventDuplicates.php.

There is a variable:

var $turnServiceOn = true;

After setting to false, the language-separator disappears.

Now, I have to find a way to leave the setting to 'true' and move the separator.

I think, that belongs to UltimateSEO-URL, so I will keep searching on that contrib.

But thank you very much for your help.

Thanks in advance,

Regards

Andreas

Jack,

I already installed nearly the latest version (v3.1.9).

The latest version is 3.2.1 and has some bug fixes in it.

But today, I found something in the /catalog/includes/classes/preventDuplicates.php.

Ahh, yes that is SEO URL 5. Others have mentioned problems/fixes here so you may want to read back a few pages to see what they did.

Hi Jack,

thank you for this add-on. I installed the latest version 3.2.0 in a heavily altered 2.2-MS2 shop. The shop uses an old Header Tags Controller contribution and STS Version 4.5.2.

When I use the admin I get the errors:

application_top : files pages.php and articles.php are not found. These files are indeed not there. When I comment these files out I get:

header_tags_english.php: Call to undefined function getmainargument()on line 64

What have I done wrong ? Any ideas ?

Thank you

Martin

It sounds like you copied the edited files from this contribution, which you can't do in a shop that has been altered. Also, the header_tags_english.php file is not part of this contribution so it seems you made a mistake in the installation. You need to upload all of the files located in te catalog directory of this contribution. Overwrite any with the same name because they do not have the same contents. And perform the instructions in the install files or all of the update files to complete the installation. You will still need to make the database changes.

Flinspach · March 16, 2010

Hi Jack,

I have

- changed the database

- copied the files of the add-on (catalog and admin section) to the shop

- changed the files as described in the install_catalog file

I've used the catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php file. There

around line 74 :

// BOF edit pages

require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'pages.php');

// EOF edit pages

around line 214 :

// include the articles functions

require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'articles.php');

// Article Manager

You're right with the header_tags_english.php file. It seems to be a relict of an older HeaderTags Controller.

What should I do ? Install everything new ?

Thank you

Martin

Jack_mcs · March 16, 2010

I have

- changed the database

- copied the files of the add-on (catalog and admin section) to the shop

- changed the files as described in the install_catalog file

You have to make the changes as mentioned in Install_Admin.txt too.

Flinspach · March 16, 2010

I've forgotten to do that - sorry.

Thank you

Martin

RMD27 · March 16, 2010

Yes I even made the same changes to both of them. Still the same problem

Can it have anything to do with default language?

What happened with this? I have the same problem.

2 database tables? where?

You need to upgrade to the latest version.

HI

I have a pretty large shop

3500 categories and 8000k products

When I go to fill the tags selecting everything

I get after a long long time where I think the db is being populated

a white page with the following error in the catalog/admin

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 600 seconds exceeded in /var/www/apache2-default/mysite/catalog/extras/includes/functions/header_tags.php on line 474

would this be related to my server or an error in my install ?

I do not see what is there in line 474 in that file

It's due to the server timing out before the script can complete. And that happens because of the number of products you have. There are a number of things you can try to get around that.

- If your host will allow it, you can increase the timeout value and the error will no longer occur.

- When you run fill tags, only do one section at a time - categories, then products and then manufacturers. This won't make a big difference in time since the main problem is with the products but it might be enough to make it work.

- Install the Easy Populate contribution, if you don't already have it installed, and use it to fill in the Header Tags fields. You will have to limit the size of the files but that is normal with this many products.

- Edit the fill tags script to use sleep commands. This will work but requires a little php knowledge.

Hi Jack

I've upgraded to the latest version

Looks better - thanks

Still when checking I get:

Notice: Undefined index: manufacturers_id in C:\xampp\htdocs\www\shop\includes\header_tags.php on line 39

Notice: Undefined index: osCsid in C:\xampp\htdocs\www\shop\includes\functions\header_tags.php on line 239

I know for sure there is a oscsid number - echo

Any suggestions

Thank you

Hi Jack,

Hope all is excellent with you. Stupendous contribution, Thank you!

When using FWR's error debugging contrib, KISSer, am receiving this

group of errors: (rc2a, xampp with php5.3, header tags version 3.2.1)

Error: Undefined index: logo_text1

File: includes/header.php

Line: 144

Error: Undefined index: logo_text2

Line: 145

Error: Undefined index: logo_text3

File: includes/header.php

Line: 146

Error: Undefined index: logo_text4

File: includes/header.php

Line: 147

The code in header.php is:

/*** 9-15-09 Begin Header Tags SEO ***/ ?>

<td valign="middle"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'logo4.png', (tep_not_null($header_tags_array['logo_text']) ? $header_tags_array['logo_text'] : STORE_NAME)) . '</a>'; ?></td>

-->

<?php

/*** X 9-15-09 End Header Tags SEO ***/ ?>

As you can see, the code block is commented out (html) but the php within is still active/read?

I didn't see any explanation of how to use these additional options, either in the instructions

nor in this forum via a search nor a google search

My question(s) are:

1. Where/how is the array, $header_tags_array, populated?

2. How do I correct this error? (Undefined index) because I'm receiving it elsewhere.

Thank you for your insight.

Hi Jack,

Here is my issue, after install headertags_seo_install.php for database it said Successful, then I modified some of the files like index.php and product_info.php with these lines of code:

<?php

/*** Begin Header Tags SEO ***/

if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php') ) {

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php');

} else {

?>

<?php

}

/*** End Header Tags SEO ***/

?>

Then I uploaded all the files in Catalog directory, then I went back to my homepage refresh and I got this message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in /home/content/s/m/l/sml1999/html/includes/application_top.php on line 312

Can you help me figure out what's wrong or did I forget something? Thanks.

Try these changes. I haven't tested them but I think they are OK. In includes/functions/header_tags.php, find

  if (($type == 'man' || $type == 'top') && ($pageTags['append_manufacturer'] || $defaultTags['default_logo_append_group'] || $defaultTags['default_logo_append_manufacturer']))

   $the_manufacturer_query= tep_db_query($manStr);
   $the_manufacturer = tep_db_fetch_array($the_manufacturer_query);
   $header_tags_array['manufacturer'] = $the_manufacturer['htc_title_tag'];  //save for use on the logo

Replace with

  if ($type == 'man' && ($pageTags['append_manufacturer'] || $defaultTags['default_logo_append_group'] || $defaultTags['default_logo_append_manufacturer']))
 {
   $the_manufacturer_query= tep_db_query($manStr);
   $the_manufacturer = tep_db_fetch_array($the_manufacturer_query);
   $header_tags_array['manufacturer'] = $the_manufacturer['htc_title_tag'];  //save for use on the logo

   $sortOrder['title'][$pageTags['sortorder_manufacturer']] = '';
   $sortOrder['logo'][$pageTags['sortorder_manufacturer']] = '';
   $sortOrder['description'][$pageTags['sortorder_manufacturer']] = '';
   $sortOrder['keywords'][$pageTags['sortorder_manufacturer']] = '';

Find

function StripSID($url)
{
 $sidName = tep_session_name(); 
 if (($sid = strpos($url, $_GET[ $sidName ])) !== FALSE)
 {
    $SidLength = strlen($_GET[ $sidName ]) + strlen( $sidName ) + 2; // to account for the "?" and "="
    return substr($url , 0, - $SidLength );
 } 
 return $url;
}

Replace with

function StripSID($url)
{
 $sidName = tep_session_name(); 
 if (isset($_GET[ $sidName ]))
 {
   if (($sid = strpos($url, $_GET[ $sidName ])) !== FALSE)
   {
      $SidLength = strlen($_GET[ $sidName ]) + strlen( $sidName ) + 2; // to account for the "?" and "="
      return substr($url , 0, - $SidLength );
   }
 } 
 return $url;
}

In includes/header_tags.php, find

    if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) || $category_depth == 'top')

Replace with

    if (isset($_GET['manufacturers_id']) && $category_depth == 'top')

Hi Jack,

Here is my question: if my shop's not STS or BTS, then I only go to Index.php, product_info.php, ... and modify this code:

FIND:

REPLACE with the following then continue with Step 2:

<?php

/*** Begin Header Tags SEO ***/

if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php') ) {

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header_tags.php');

} else {

?>

<?php

}

/*** End Header Tags SEO ***/

?>

and then go to Install_Admin.txt for the next instruction, correct? or I have to follow the instruction from 1 to 10 in Install_Catalog.txt first before I move on to Install_Admin.txt. I am confuse because some of the lines were not found in the files. Please help. Thanks

www.in.no · March 17, 2010

You have to follow all instructions except for the parts that are for STS or set as optional.

If the lines are different you may have a alreday modefied shop and must merge the code. Try search for part of the code and se what result you get. You have the aproximate line number in the install text.

toto46 · March 17, 2010

Hi Jack thanks for your answer, its big thats why I am creating the DB locally on my server before uploading to the Internet. I have set the time out to 4 hrs in Apache, that should do it.

Jack_mcs · March 17, 2010

I apologize for my incorrect reply. I read what you said but was thinking you meant something else. The add current page problem is a common problem not related to Header Tags. See this thread.
