joomla, seo/sef help needed

Hi all,

I am using joomseo and artio joomsef and have succesfully sorted out my URLs to read as i would like them to,

however i would like to display the page title tags that i put in using the artio joomsef manager, i have tried many different areas and almost get there but not quite, all i want is the title that i add into the parameters when creating urls in the edit url function. all i want is the meta tag title from this feature nothing else, no site name, keywords or anything else displayed.

currently my site is displaying the url in the page title area. so have gone a full circle and am no nearer getting the final product

any help would be greatly appreciated

there is a joomla sef patch which made by joomlatwork.com . you must use it to solve your problem

 

Sorry have to ask.. I know what SEO and SEM is.. but what is SEF?

Edit.. Gomen..

Search engine friendly...

 

@Rob,

You should try the new joomla extentension JooFox Content Title plugin, you can find it on the extensions website.
It uses the Title alias field from the content page panel and puts that in to the html Title tag.

At the moment this tag is empty on your site.

 

get all the plugins... youll need to fork out some cash thou :/

 

thanks for you help and advice guys will give them try

Rob

 

tried all your suggestions and still no good, downloaded joomfox title and still no good

I am sure it is a configuration problem that i have not set something up right, the urls are fine, i want it to display the page titles that i input into the artio joomsef title box, i realise some of the pages arent set up but some are and the ones that i have done are not working.

if anyone can sort out the config problems and get this working properly please PM me as about to pull my hair out and storm off in a huff.

Rob

 

Thanks Hummerbie your a legend

 

I really dont advice you to use the joomlatwork.com patch. It could really damage your website!

 

The Joomlatwork patch will only damage your site if you have an component that also rewrites the index.php file.

Otherwise it only brings you more options to do SEO

 

The most problems, as was here the case, is that you use different plugins of handle the metatags.

If you use the Joomlatwork patch, disable the JoomlSEO and the Artio Metatag plugin and it runs fine.

 

I ran into the same problem. After trying all sorts of things, I found out that the latest version of JoomSEF was at fault. I tried an ealier version and everything worked as it should.

Hope this helps.

 

thanks guys for all your help, i have sorted the problem with hummerbies help and have taken note all the advice you other guys have passed on, thanks a lot to all

 

use func IF in php for check url. if location is home pages let title is home pages key word,, else use name of content for title of pages.

() your must to know content title object name.

 

first of all try "nuSEF" which has some new hacks for <title>

apart that, there's no easy way to automagically SEO a joomla site, but don't worry, it's still better than Drupal or Xoops or other stuff.

just keep in mind that using SEF (any flavour) will slow down your site a bit, so you better study carefully how to better cache the content.
