how to edit homepage title/meta tags?

How do I edit the Title and Meta tags for the homepage and the "all products" page?

I know zen cart lets you edit the title and meta tags of most pages (that is not what im having problems with. )

Im having trouble edting the title and meta tags of the following pages ONLY (editing all other pages is easy). It seems zencart does not let you edit the homepage title/meta tags and the all-products page

1.   htt p :// m y o n l i ne s p or t s d e p o t . c om
   

2.   h t t p : / / m y o n l i n e s p o r t s d e p o t . c o m / a l l- p r o d u c t s /
   

It only take ONE space to break the link

and besides, why not just post your link? the search engines love to see links from different sites to your site, it gives you a better page rank over time.

I just don't want customers google my domain name to find out that I needed help with the shopping-cart/website. That might scare them away. They might think "this bozo doesn't know what he is doing so why should I buy from him"

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i didn't think about that.

If you read my thread carefully you would see that i KNOW HOW TO edit titles and meta tags but the meta/title tags of the all-products page is not editable through zen cart (that i know how) and so there has to be an alternate way to edit those.

I have all the other meta/title tags done already its just the all-products page and the homepage

i hate it when people don't read and understand threads fully. You probably just read the thread title and that was it. READ THE WHOLE THING.

Hi,

To edit your HOME page:

/includes/languages/english/YOUR_template_name/meta_tags.php

The All products meta tag info is taken from the home page meta tags but adds to end of other META TAGS the title: All Products.

Finish your meta tag keywords with a ,

or for example your last keyword will be:

hats, shirts, pants all products

instead of

hats, shirts, pants, all products

ok so i was able to change the hompage title and meta tags. But how do I change the "all-products" page title/meta tags separately.

In other words the "all-products" page Meta tags should be differnt from the homepage Meta tags.

It seems that when i changed the homepage title/meta that it was a global change and affected everything but i want the meta/title of the homepage to be differnt from the "all-products" page.

anyone wanna help?

In your english/meta_tags.php file, you change your home-page-specific tags using these lines:```
// 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 you change your other page-specific tags using these lines:```
// Per-Page meta-tags. Follow this pattern for individual pages you wish to override. This is useful mainly for additional pages.
// replace "page_name" with the UPPERCASE name of your main_page= value, such as ABOUT_US or SHIPPINGINFO etc.
// repeat pattern as necessary
  define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_page_name','');
  define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_page_name','');
  define('META_TAG_TITLE_page_name', '');

  define('META_TAG_TITLE_page_name', '');

ok for the "All-Products" page I entered the following and it is still not working:

// Per-Page meta-tags. Follow this pattern for individual pages you wish to override. This is useful mainly for additional pages.
// replace "page_name" with the UPPERCASE name of your main_page= value, such as ABOUT_US or SHIPPINGINFO etc.
// repeat pattern as necessary
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_ALL_PRODUCTS','Looking forward to buy sporting Goods? Visit DomainName.com for the best sporting goods products. Order sporting goods online at cheap rate.');
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_ALL_PRODUCTS','buy sporting goods, sporting goods online, Online sporting goods');
define('META_TAG_TITLE_ALL_PRODUCTS', 'Buy Cheap Sporting Goods Online from Best Sports Goods Store in City, TX | DomainName.com');

the file I edited was: /includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

why isn't it working?

The correct main_page= value for the "All Products" page is: main_page=products_all
