meta keywords

[bmpt]

i need to change my meta keywords, Right now all of my products combine and make the first keyword. The keyword is all my products in one long long sentence. Can someone help me learn how to get rid of my products being displayed as a keyword?

Not quite sure what you mean, but this may help.

go to includes / languages / english and down the list click on meta_tags.php

Then inside the file find:

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

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Powered by Zen cart');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', ' CHANGE THESE WORDS HERE USING A , TO SEPARATE THE WORDS');

Then save.

I'm having a similar problem with my main page meta keywords. When I look at the page source from my main page in my meta keywords line I am getting my Category names all listed in front of my custom keywords.

Here is a shortened shot:
<meta name="keywords" content="Graphic Novel Shelf Used Book Case Ephemera File Comic Book Longbox Magazine Rack Magazine Ads Box Music Bin used books, back issue magazines,(then the rest of my custom keywords).

I want to be able to NOT show from Graphic Novel Shelf to Music Bin in that string. Those are the names of my Categories and somehow are put in by Zen at the beginning so that string looks like one big long keyword because there are no commas to separate the category titles.

When I go to the file includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php my Custom Keywords are fine and the way I want them to be. The added 'category title keywords' aren't showing in that file so that I COULD at least put a comma between them.

So where do I go to fix those or make them not show at all?

You can tell Zen Cart to use commas for separators by adding the comma in your meta_tags.php language file in this section:

// Define divider ... usually just a space or a comma plus a space
  define('METATAGS_DIVIDER', ' ');

Thank you Dr. Byte.

My meta_tag.php file already reads like this:

// Define divider ... usually just a space or a comma plus a space
define('METATAGS_DIVIDER', ' ');

So it looks like it already should be providing a comma between those categories that are being placed in front of my custom keywords as additional keywords.

Should I have this meta_tag.php file in my Custom Template too?

[DrByte]

I quoted the default setup, which puts spaces, not commas.
If you want the divider to be a comma, change the space to a comma and a space, as per the instructions.

How do I get rid of the first comma in the Title Tag? (between the title and site tagline? I would like it to be a dash like this page we are looking at on the forum.

Also, is it better to have All this information in the Title tag and leave Tagline blank (for search engines)? Zen Cart is the first time I have seen a tagline tag.

You can alter the other dividers as desired by editing them in the same file:

// separators for meta tag definitions
// Define Primary Section Output
  define('PRIMARY_SECTION', ' : ');

// Define Secondary Section Output
  define('SECONDARY_SECTION', ' - ');

// Define Tertiary Section Output
  define('TERTIARY_SECTION', ', ');
