Trying to find duff code

**gandalf458** · 13 May 2010, 03:33 PM

I'm trying to support a friend who has a shop with ZenCart 1.3.7 but has no HTML experience. I have noticed, amongst other things, that the home page has two sets of <meta> tags, the 2nd within the body of the page.

Also, all pages have a <base> tag which needs changing.

Can anyone suggest where to start looking for the duff code please?

Many thanks

Maybe, with a link to the site.

I've found the duff meta tags (in tools > define pages editor, define main page) and I've found keywords for the product pages.

But any ideas where I find the keywords for the home page?

Any ideas how to remove "ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping" from keywords and description?

Thanks

I've also read

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=62

But nowhere can I find the text that makes up the home page keywords. It looks like a list of all the categories without commas between them. But nowhere can I find it suggesting that if no keywords are defined it will list the categories.

Am I getting warm...

In includes/languages/classic/english.php - Line #12 : //define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping');

In includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php - Line #16 : define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping');

You are getting "two sets" of header code (including the meta tags) because you are using an EXTERNAL html editor and copying/pasting the ENTIRE source code from that external editor into define_main_page.php.

It's OK to use an external editor, but there are some rules to follow:

1. DO NOT apply css styles to the page code, unless you then carry over the declarations to a stylesheet in your template. You can use some INLINE styles, as long as these are kept simple. You would be well-advised to NEVER create your source code HTML using a product with "Microsoft" in its title. (This includes MS Word and MS FrontPage or any other MS wysiwyg editor. MS is a sure fire way to fail MOST validation tests.)

2. DO NOT copy the whole page's source code from the external editor... ONLY the parts BETWEEN (not including) the <body> and </body> tags. Zencart has already created the page from its own code, and this main-page content is actually now WITHIN the existing <body> tags of the page ZC creates.

Meta Tags - site-wide:
In the LANGUAGES folder of your installation, you will see in the english folder, a file called meta_tags.php .

EDIT a copy of this file on your local machine, then FTP it to your CUSTOM folder: /languages/english/your_custom_folder/

stevesh:
Thanks again.

schoolboy:
Thanks. I have no idea how the meta tags got in that section, but I've deleted them.
