Custom META Tags per Item
for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2

Custom META Tags per Item v1.0

This contribution allows you to set which META Tags & page TITLE are displayed on a per-product, per-category, and

per-subCategory basis. This is an important step towards SEO! The following custom fields are stored in the database for each

product, category, & subcategory:
META Keywords
META Description
TITLE (i.e. <TITLE></TITLE>)

This can be used to set default META Tags & page TITLE for your entire OSC store. If a product or category doesn't have an

entry for any of the 3 custom fields, it will display the default for those fields.

All entries are controlled using the admin console.

Multi-language is supported for the product tags.

Extra fields are added to the database to hold the custom fields, so this contribution should be very benign in it's

interaction with other contributions.

I heavily modified & extended Daniel Richards original 'custom meta tags' contribution to include extra fields,

multi-language capabilities, and extra functionality.

This contribution has been tested with Ultimate SEO URLs.

There are 3 Methods of installation:

1) Quick & Easy: Run a SQL script & upload all files in 'upload' folder: This assumes that the included files have NOT been

modified on your website. This is perfect for a virgin install and/or for a quick test.

2) Quick: Run a SQL script, upload admin/categories.php, easy copy-paste modifications on 5 files: Perfect for modified

stores w/ no changes to admin/categories.php. Upload the categories.php in same folder as Installation.html - this is the

exact same file as admin/categories.php in the upload folder.

3) Pretty Easy Install: Run a SQL script, easy copy-paste modifications on 5 files, 1 detailed copy-paste file: If you have

modified the original admin/categories.php this install method is for you.

/admin/categories.php merged with MVS Multi Vendor Shipping MediaHound 11 May 2008  

I use the popular MVS contrib on my shop.
That and this Custom META Tags per Item conflicted.
I had to carefully merge the two contributions to get along.
This download is only the modified file as it works on my shop.
I hope this file helps someone who wants to use both contribs on their shop.
Use this file as it is, or as a guide. See this post first:

You will still need v1.0 below, this is just one file to help you if you have MVS installed.
Do not use this if you do not have MVS or if you have never heard of it!
