At my wits end with Meta_tags
I am reconstructing my site after a brutal hack of my zencart site, obviously I have upgraded to the version1.5 for this reconstruction.
The person before me who constructed my site (it was a favour) put everything everywhere no over ride files etc so I am learning as I go with this thought the site was pretty much fully functional until the hack.
I have created override files like your supposed to and they are working fine as I use them as intended.
BUT I have spent two weeks now trying to sort the site title out etc. Originally I wanted metatags but after the amount of time I have had dealing with the issues presented I just ended up thinking I'll just do the site title but if someone can help me to even get metatags to work. I would be obliged.
my site is b a b i s e r e n . c o . u k / newsite[/URL]
Okay I have found the meta-tag.php file in newsite/includes/languages/english.
I have modified the parts between the ' ' to the words I need being very careful to follow how it was from the original Zencart titles, keywords I originally tried to add, @ first with capital letters at the beginning then lower case but none worked on loading.
I have attached the template to show you what I am seeing it is blank and yes I have even tried to "load" this
// page title
define('TITLE', '');
// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', '');
// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', '');
// 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
// EZ-Pages meta-tags. Follow this pattern for all ez-pages for which you desire custom metatags. Replace the # with ezpage id.
// If you wish to use defaults for any of the 3 items for a given page, simply do not define it.
// (ie: the Title tag is best not set, so that site-wide defaults can be used.)
// repeat pattern as necessary
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_EZPAGE_#','');
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_EZPAGE_#','');
define('META_TAG_TITLE_EZPAGE_#', '');
// 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', '');
// Review Page can have a lead in:
define('META_TAGS_REVIEW', 'Reviews: ');
// 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', ', ');
// Define divider ... usually just a space or a comma plus a space
define('METATAGS_DIVIDER', ' ');
// Define which pages to tell robots/spiders not to index
// This is generally used for account-management pages or typical SSL pages, and usually doesn't need to be touched.
define('ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP','login,logoff,create_account,account,account_edit,account_history,account_history_info,account_newsletters,account_notifications,account_password,address_book,advanced_search,advanced_search_result,checkout_success,checkout_process,checkout_shipping,checkout_payment,checkout_confirmation,cookie_usage,create_account_success,contact_us,download,download_timeout,customers_authorization,down_for_maintenance,password_forgotten,time_out,unsubscribe,info_shopping_cart,popup_image,popup_image_additional,product_reviews_write,ssl_check,shopping_cart');
// favicon setting
// There is usually NO need to enable this unless you need to specify a path and/or a different filename
// define('FAVICON','favicon.ico');
I use firefox as my ftp client, (which recently I was told that it did not work with my server by my hosting company how true can that be being a green horn I am stumped.)
When adding it to /newsite/includes/languages/english/template
It works on the live site but wipes out my access to the admin page... WHITE SCREEN
I know it is associated with putting ' or (.) or spaces where they should not be BUT I have followed it to the letter.
It has gotten to the point of tears now. I do not want my site going live with Zen cart emblazoned across it.
I have researched this issue for a very long time now PLEASE SOMEONE HELP.
