Footer...

Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 12:46 pm

As some of you know haveing the right words at the beginning and the end of your page makes all the difference in the world as far as SEO is concerned.

I have a generic version of this runnign on my site now but I want to zero it on in. So what i need to do is look at what page is being viewed and IF they are anon and once we know, I want to echo "XYZ" in the foorter.

I have it working to some extent now...

Code:







themefooter();


   


if ($username == "") {$username = "Anonymous";


   


   echo "<b>Whatever"


      . " <a href=\"account-new_user.html\">Register</a> for FREE "


      . "<br><br>"


      . " <a href=\"whatever"><center><b>Whatever</b></center></a><br><br>";





} // end anonymous only section

\
Way question is how can I figure out what page it is and change text or links to whateever I want.

I would assume I would use something like this.....from Dynamic title....

Code:







if($name=="This Page"){ 


    echo = "Whatever I want it to say here";





}

Would I string these together with if/else statements or just of bunch of if statements?

Thanks!

IF/else should work fine. You could even do a switch case

Code:




switch($name) {


  case "Page1":


     echo "whatever";


     break;


  case "Page2:


     echo "Whatever2";


     break;


}

I find switch makes more readable code, but if/else works fine .. esp if there are multiple conditions you want to use

evaders99,
I have never used Switch and Case....

Code:

switch($name) { 


  case "Page1": 


     echo "whatever"; 


     break; 


  case "Page2: 


     echo "Whatever2"; 


     break; 


}

So if $name = page1 it will echo whatever?

i will go try it....brb

Here is what I wound up with....

In footer I used this....

Code:

cookiedecode($user);


$username = $cookie[1];








    if ($username == "") {$username = "Anonymous";


   echo "<b><u>$name</u></b>";

Then I went into navtap and used the same code....

Code:

    if ($username == "") {$username = "Anonymous";


    echo "<b><a href=\"account-new_user.html\">Register</a> for FREE to Use our Offshore Fishing Resources"


      . "<br><br>"


       . "<center><b><u>$name</u></b></center>";

What Iwould really like is to get hold of $newpagetitle coming out of Dynamic Titles.

I tried adding $newpagetitle to the globels then calling it with

Code:

global $user, $cookie, $db, $admin, $pagetitle, $name, $newpagetitle;


cookiedecode($user);


$username = $cookie[1];





$NT1bgcolor = "#000000"; // Table Row Background Color


$NT2bgcolor = "#000099"; // Table Cell Backgroun Color


$NTfontcolor = "#00FFFF"; // Font Color





// This section is sent to users who are not logged in.


    if ($username == "") {$username = "Anonymous";


    echo "<b><a href=\"account-new_user.html\">Register</a> for FREE to Use our Offshore Fishing Resources"


      . "<br><br>"


       . "<center><b><u>$newpagetitle</u></b></center>";

That did not work. Any idea how I can get hold of the $newpagetitle varible??

Thanks,

Dawg

Not sure why you are not getting $newpagetitle out of DT, but try adding this line in your DT include file as such:

$newpagetitle = $sitename.' '.$dt_delim.' '.$dt_mod_name;
$_GLOBALS['dawg_newpagetitle'] = $newpagetitle;

Then, use that $_GLOBALS['dawg_newpagetitle'] in your footer code.

BTW, you could also use the following IF instead of looking at the cookie (which you have to be careful doing as you are not handling the data from the cookie in a secure manner):

if (!is_user($user)) { //then this means page is being viewed by anonymous

}

Thanks Guys....I got it working!!

and here is payback.....

The search engines LOVE for you to have your keywords at the top and bottom of your page. Here is how I did it....

Install Dynamic_Titles.....and Navtap (If you do not have Navtap....this same idea should work about anywhere on the site you put it.)

Customize as you see fit.....

Then open up Navtap and find this function

I GOT THE BLACK PAGE OF DEATH! No Posting for me.......

Thank You montego, evaders99 and the whole RN team!

Man...I thought for sure I had it solid........ Sad

Set the title of the page.....use the same set of words at the start and ending of the page. It works.....

The problem now is that they are all have title tags around them so i wind up with 3 titles on the page. I have tried

Code:

echo strip_tags($newpagetitle);

but that dose not do it....Back to the books...I have to get this right!
