Home Page Title, Descriptions, Keywords

I have managed to add meta, title, keywords to all my products and categories.. I cannot find where to do so on the Home Page Title, Descriptions, Keywords. When going to Home Page the browser tab reads 'Home_Page_Title'. I have searched with frontpage and dreamweaver to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Re: Home Page Title, Descriptions, Keywords

Shooters:

When going to Home Page the browser tab reads 'Home_Page_Title'.The home-page-specific portions are set in the /includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php file.
If your file doesn't include those settings, then you've forgotten to upgrade yours to the latest version.
So, grab the fresh set of Zen Cart files, and compare all your customized files against the originals, and add in anything that's missing, and correct anything that's been changed, etc.

here is the path: /public_html/cart/includes/languages/english/sophyblue

and the code:

And what does the original version of that file contain? the one supplied with Zen Cart?

Re: Home Page Title, Descriptions, Keywords

If you have a meta_tags.php file located at:
/includes/languages/english/sophyblue/meta_tags.php
and another at
/includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php
and your active template is the sophyblue template,
... then the sophyblue version will override the default one.

Thus, if your sohpyblue version of the file is missing the extra pieces, you're only going to see the placeholder, not the actual definition.
