izbryte Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi! I recently installed the STS w/ the Header tags (very cool contribution, BTW!) but it doesn't appear the Header tags are working. I have a test product here: http://www.baby-photo-announcements.com/te...oduct-p-28.html Any help would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you place the following code in your head portion of your template file? <!--$headcontent--> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css"> </head> The $headcontent tag will automatically add the header tags info that you defined in the Header Tags admin menus.

Guest Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 (edited) Ah, that would be 3.2 not 4.2! I have stuff like morepics, master products, featured products - they are probably the biggies.

Do any of them have issues relating this problem? Do you recall when you first noticed this problem? Is this a new install of HTC? I have bundled STSv4.2 and Header Tags Controller 2.5.9 together so that it would be easier to install these two contributions in one seamless install. Try posting over at the HTC forum and mention it is not the $headcontent tag since it is doing what it is supposed to be doing...it is bringing the meta content from the HTC contribution over to your template page. It appears your meta content is getting screwed up before the $headcontent placeholder pulls it into your template. Since I am not familiar with your installation history, it could be that you installed a contribution over a working HTC that conflicted with a HTC file. If you have the opportunity to restore a backup, it would be easier to troubleshoot. Check each of your contribution files to see if they effect any of the HTC files. If so, use a file comparison tool such as WinMerge or Beyond Compare to merge the files together so that they can coexist.

Once there, you will see the different modules available in the Simple Template System. Follow the directions in the Install Guide for more details. You will also need to go to your store's admin, click on "Header Tags" in the left column, once there, check the appropriate boxes and then click on "Fill Tags". This will autopopulate your metatag info so that your products and store pages will be indexed by the search engines with your information.

I've added a test product and entered the meta tag info there, 2. In admin, I've gone to Modules, clicked on STS then directed the default to my template file (works fine) 3. My template does have <!--$headcontent--> in the head 4. I've gone to admin, Header Tags, then the titles of the sections are all in red....Is that the problem? 5. I've gone to fill tags and chose fill all tags for everything and clicked yes for "Fill products meta description with Products Description?" Yet, it still isn't working. What else can I do?

jbcobbs Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Im having problems using the product_info templates - I have created a file and put it under my template directory and named it product_info.php_c21.html as i want it cover all products in category 21 - I then added product_info.php_c21.html under the "files for content template" in the admin. When I go to view it it does not parse the variables used in the template they just show up as the variable ie. $imagelarge - Am i missing something? - J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says Note that is the title of a section appears in red, it means that file does not have the required Header Tags code installed and, as a result, will not display the title or meta tags defined here. All the pages listed (index, allprods, product_info, etc) are red and when I chose yes for Fill products meta description with Products Description? it didn't work.

nanouchman Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Hi all :) First of all great job on that contribution, it's really easy to use and creating few templates for the whole website is so much easier to maintain it! I've only installed it for a couple of days but I'm ready playing with it and enjoying it. Anyway, I'm having a problem and hoped someone could help me here ... I've just installed the Protx Direct contribution and when I go to the CVS help page (cvs_help.php) some of my placeholders work and some don't ... I can't get my $content and my boxes ($searchbox, $categorybox, $whatsnewbox) to display. Anything else works perfectly ($breadcrumbs, $home, $myaccount, $cartcontents ...). What I can't understand is that it works on all the pages except this one ... Any ideas? Thanks ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Check in the php of the non working page that the following files are included: application_top.php header.php column_left.php column_right.php footer.php application_bottom.php They should be called in this order, and of course there is some code in-between. I guess that the columns are not called, or called in wrong order, so boxes and content cannot be created. - Rigadin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanouchman Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Ok thanks for that! The code in cvs_help.php is: require('includes/application_top.php'); $navigation->remove_current_page(); require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_POPUP_CVS_HELP); So I've been playing a bit with what you told me and then I realised that it was supposed to be a popup window, not a proper page, so I don't need to apply my default template on that specific page. In the end, I've just commented a line of code at the end of includes/languages/english/cvs_help.php: //require('includes/application_bottom.php'); And that seems to work ok ... Thanks for your help Rigadin ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftricot Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hello, - thanks in advance for your help. I've have installed ST4.3, however I cannot get it using the template. When I try to configure it in the Admin panel, I change Modules > STS > Default > Use template? to true, then back to view the values, nothing is changed. Other parameters of the Modules > do not update also... Does STS changes he modules so that it does not work anymore ? However, when I had &sts_template=test in the URL, it does work.
