Home_page_title

[mooncavecrystals]

Ok, i have tried several things but apparently all wrong :) The tab that shows up when I go to my zen cart is HOME_PAGE_TITLE. I want it to read MoonCave Crystals. I have tried two different meta_tag.php files, neither of which apparently were correct. I used the developers tools to find the correct file, but there were so many, I got even more confused. So.........can anyone tell me the correct file to go to in order that I may change HOME_PAGE_TITLE to MoonCave Crystals?

Thanks!

In includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php, look for the block of code below.

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping');

// Home Page Only:
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', '');
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', '');

  // NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', ''); // usually best left blank

and change it to

// page title
define('TITLE', MoonCave Crystals');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping');

// Home Page Only:
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', '');
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', '');

  // NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', ''); // usually best left blank

If you REALLY want to change the HOME_PAGE_TITLE, put MoonCave Crystals between the single quotes like

  // NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', 'MoonCave Crystals '); // usually best left blank

Thanks :) This is wierd, or I am just not doing it right. I went to the file as instructed and changed as instructed. Nothing. I looked at every meta_tag.php file in the joint. The darkness template I am using did not have any of that code.

I think the only one I did not change was the template that came with zen. Color me frustrated.

You only need to change ONE meta_tags.php file - the one that your template is using. You can change all the other meta_tags.php files, but Zen Cart isn't reading those, so they won't make a bit of difference.

If that code isn't in that file, then the file is outdated. Look in includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/english.php

This is what I have in includes/languages/english/darkness (that is the template I am using)/meta tag.php (SEE BELOW) As you can see I changed the title but that didnt work :) So.....if this is all wrong, should I just delete and copy the code from includes/languages/english/meta tag.php???

It looks right to me.

[mooncavecrystals]

then i am confused....what i posted looks nothing like what you posted. And if it looks right, it doesnt work because I am still getting HOME_PAGE_TITLE on my browsing tab. Oh well, guess I will just have to leave as is.....sucks, but all i know how to do.

You posted

// page title
define('TITLE', 'MoonCave Crystals');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', '');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'pebbles, tumbles, crystal, crystals, incense, lemurians, lemurian, smudges, quartz, moonstone, peridot, carnelian, citrine, rock, rocks, garnet, lithium, beta, coral, angelite, celestine');

I posted

// page title
define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart!');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'The Art of E-commerce');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping');

Those blocks of code don't look similar to you?

Add this under your keyword definition and see if that helps:

// Home Page Only:
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', '');
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', '');

  // NOTE: If HOME_PAGE_TITLE is left blank (default) then TITLE and SITE_TAGLINE will be used instead.
  define('HOME_PAGE_TITLE', ''); // usually best left blank

Ok, will try that, thanks. I have been at this all day and am frustrated at my lack of knowledge...:)

Thanks again:)

[mooncavecrystals]

Thank you. After a good nights sleep, some hot coffee and a fresh and clear mind, I was able to add the lines of code you suggested to my existing meta_tag.php file and it now works perfectly :)
