If you changed up the meta tags on the template you can just copy paste the required changes from the package manager and replace those two lines in index.template.php

Where are the settings for it?
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: karlbenson on March 24, 2008, 01:30:52 PM
TEOC2 there are no settings.

It does it automatically.

If you need to the do the edits manually you can use a package parser (http://www.adrevenueshare.com/parser) to provide you with the edits.

Ah, ok, i was thinking its a similar mod to your "easy edit meta data".

thank you rsw686

I found out something.... I don't know if it qualifies for you as a bug with the mod ..... but I would like to draw your attention to it.

IF the admin has used some html code in the description of a board, the resulting site description tag of the board page does not escape that html code, and thus, the board's description appears at the top of the page....

easy fix if you have this issue with your board : replace all the (") with escaped apostrophes, that is BackSlash apostrophe (\')

Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: rsw686 on March 24, 2008, 03:33:12 PM
I'm not sure why you would have html code in a meta description tag. But sure you just do \" to escape the quote. This is PHP's design. If you enclosed text in " you must escape those inside same goes if you enclose text with '. I might in the future add an admin panel section to define the keywords and board description.

I haven't forgotten about this, just been real busy. I'm actually working on improvements based on a forum with vBSEO installed.

I've also moved the hard coded keywords and description into the admin panel. This way they are easy to change. The end result will be

Title: Forum Name - Index
Keywords: your keywords
Description: your description

On the message index you have

Title: Board Name - Forum Name
Keywords: Board, Name, Board Name, your keywords

On the message display you have

Title: Topic Subject - Forum Name
Keywords: Topic, Subject, Topic Subject, your keywords

Error in Package Installation

At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.

You must not be using SMF 2.0 as required by the mod. I guess you got lucky that version 1.0 of the mod worked. The database queries and admin integration are different with SMF 2.0.

Hi  thanks for the MOD rsw686 but i have one problem i try to install this mod manual with the package parser and i did everything correct im sure after that i upload to the sources folder the file MetaTags.php  and put the dbmodify.php to the main folder but when i try to run the dbmodify.php i only get white page can you tell me why ?

Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: rsw686 on April 02, 2008, 03:45:16 PM
dbmodify.php doesn't show any text. When you go into the forum admin panel under the modifications section it should show the meta tag keywords and description. The dbmodify script just inserts the SMF default values for the keywords and descriptions.
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: msvdm on April 02, 2008, 03:54:20 PM
ok thx  i find the meta tag description in the admin panel :) sorry for the stupid questions but you know some times when you do manual install you need to run file

Does the 1.1 version support only SMF 2.0. I get a php fatal error from the dbmodify.php  file when I try to install it on 1.1.4.

Fatal error: Function name must be a string in forum/Packages/temp/dbmodify.php on line 15

There are no screens to see. Well there are two text fields added in the admin panel -> modifications area to fill in the default keywords and description. Other than that the modifications are in the header of the page. You can visit the forum in my signature, right-click on various pages and view the source to see what the meta tags look like.

Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: Harvest on June 17, 2008, 11:31:21 AM
As said many times before , the mod from the modsite supports only SMF 2.0 .  SONSiVRi ported it to work with 1.1.5 , so install his version, and You shouldn't experience any problems.


QuoteWhere to find Managesettings.php??
AFAIK this file is 2.0 specific, so uploading it to 1.1.5 installation won't change a thing.

But i think i understood the meta tags wrong.

I have searched at google but i would like just a simple answer.

meta tags are descriptor of your web page, that helps to search engines index your web pages properly.
SMF's meta tag management isn't enough and this mods increases it.
it collects some keywords in topics, messages... and writes them in meta tag area.
in summary: meta tag helps to get higher rank in search engines.

The smilies are little gif images. It shouldn't do any harm. The searcher is probably intelligent enough to figure out that the symbol stands for SOMETHING. It shouldn't have an effect on search engine results either. I wouldn't disable smilies because of it.

Parsing? I'm a noob. Does that mean the way it's layed out or displayed?

I never got the boiler plate message because I altered the original meta description, which ended up on every single page that was indexd! Google Webmaster tools let me know about it. Hence, my being here to get this mod - the adaptation to 1.1.5! from SONSiVRi !

Thank you both rsw686 SONSiVRi

Craig

Maybe the problem "4.    Easy Edit Meta Data    1.0 " mod.
vBulletin mod needs 2 pattern in ./Themes/default/index.template.php, so you need to manually edit it by yourself.
I dunno which mod changed the original, and you can lose that mod if you apply this one.

Thank you SONSiVRi - after parsing both mods, it appears they want to replace the same code in these two edits:

vBulletin Style Meta Tags (1.1) for v1.1.x forums:
QuoteIn file $themedir/index.template.php
Find:
<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />

Replace with:
<meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />


Find:
<meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />

Replace with:
<meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />

EASY EDIT META DATA V1.0:
QuoteIn file $themedir/index.template.php
Find:
   <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />

Replace with:
';
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_description'])) ? '   <meta name="description" content="'. $modSettings['meta_description'] .'" />' : '<meta name="description" content="'. $context['page_title'] .'" />


Find:

, '
   <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />

Replace with:

;
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_keywords'])) ? '
   <meta name="keywords" content="'. $modSettings['meta_keywords'] .'" />' : '';
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_copyright'])) ? '
   <meta name="copyright" content="'. $modSettings['meta_copyright'] .'" />' : '';
echo (!empty($modSettings['meta_author'])) ? '
   <meta name="author" content="'. $modSettings['meta_author'] .'" />' : '';
echo '

I'm not experienced at working with code.  Is there a way I can manually edit this code so that the mods will be compatible?  Can I just add the code for this mod after the Easy Edit Meta Data code, or something?

If you insist to apply subsequent mod (vBulletin Style Meta Tags), those 2 patterns wont be touched because "find" criteria doesnt match but the rest of "vBulletin Style Meta Tags" will be applied and it shown installed. After that you have to modify these patterns by yourself and make mod is running. To do that you need to download and edit "$themedir/index.template.php" by finding and replacing proper codes as you wrote above. But I think its the best way uninstall of "EASY EDIT META DATA". Because you dont need that one while you using "vBulletin Style Meta Tags". Both are working for same job and you only need one. I dunno what "EASY EDIT META DATA" mod does but I think "vBulletin Style Meta Tags" is automated version of it.

I've installed the SONSIVRI version of the MOD on my SMF 1.1.5 version forum, and it installed normally, but, the keywords that are installed by default are still there, mixed with the keywords that the MOD generates, however, my index.template.php was successfully changed by the code of the MOD, this is the entire code of my index.template.php file:

<?php
// Version: 1.1.5; index

/* This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
wants and or needs.

For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:
http://www.simplemachines.org/

How can I include the topic title in the description?

Right now the description is the first 55 characters of the message, what I want is the description begin with the title of the topic and only after that the first words of the message.

In a SEO perspective, the description is also very important, and, 99% of the time, the first words of a message has nothing to do with the topic.

Thanks

I don't know if it's the best solution but this is what I did to add the topic title in the meta description.
In index.template.php
<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], ' - ', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />

This seems like the mod of my dreams, but please clear up the confusion. I'm running 1.1.5 and there was a post here with a mod that will let me use this mod. Confusing? Well, what happened to the mod of the mod? Seems like a large demand for a non 2.0 compatible version. Did the author edit that post with the attachment? I can't find any links, downloads, info elsewhere. This has turned into a confusing thread imo. The author needs to clear this up, or at least include the mod to his mod. Anyone?

Okay just to update. In fact, if you are viewing this thread as a guest you will be quite confused. It seems guests cannot view or download attachments. So the 1.1.5 mod of this mod wasn't appearing in that post. Just a note to people who find themselves as confused as me.

Overall, I think this took about 3 minutes to implement. I'm like everyone else and using a different theme. Because of this, you simply can't just install the 1.1.5 mod and be done. You must go back to the original mod and view the manual instructions, and edit your template page (index.template.php) with two really simple pastes. I couldn't find the language file in my theme, but the changes made by the mod installation were fine as is.

I will post back to confirm the brilliance of this mod. If I don't post back, then my forums must really suck.

Also, to the person saying that this should be part of SMF and not a mod, I say forget that idea! Keep the regular n00b user in the dark. If everyone has this advantage then it isn't an advantage right? As it stands, I hope to have an advantage in the search engines thanks to this mod.

In closing, Sonsivri should press to have his mod of the mod included somewhere. Having it in this thread is hardly justice. I appreciate the original author, but to me seems a little stubborn as to not include 1.1.5. Thanks for your time everyone.

Thank you very much rsw686 for writing this plugin, and SONSiVRi for porting it to 1.1.5. You guys rock!  :D This is by far the best meta tag plugin for SMF that I've seen.

By the way, I'd like to remove the bold part in message index tags:

QuoteBoard, Name, Board Name, your keywords

So I went to MetaTags.php and changed this:

function MetaTagsGenerateKeywords ($text)
{
$common_words = array('a', 'and', '&', 'at', 'as', 'for', 'it', 'in', 'of', 'on', 'or', 'quot', 'the', 'to', 'ir', 'bet', 'ne', 'taip');

$text = MetaTagsSpecialChars(str_replace(',', '', $text));

// Build array of the keywords without punctuation.
preg_match_all('/\w+/', $text, $keywords);

// Only one keyword, just return.
if(count($keywords[0]) == 1)
return $text;

// Remove any common words.
$i=0;
foreach($keywords[0] as $word)
{
if(in_array($word, $common_words))
unset($keywords[0][$i]);
$i++;
}

// Return the individual keywords along with the keyword string.
return implode(', ', $keywords[0]) . ', ' . $text;
}

To this:

function MetaTagsGenerateKeywords ($text)
{
$text = MetaTagsSpecialChars(str_replace(',', '', $text));
// Build array of the keywords without punctuation.
preg_match_all('/\w+/', $text, $keywords);
// Return the individual keywords along with the keyword string.
return $text;
}


I'm a php noob - everything seems to be working, but didn't I delete something needed?  :-\
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: SONSiVRi on September 02, 2008, 11:51:54 PM
This function (MetaTagsGenerateKeywords) is used in message index and message display keyword generations. So you are blocking message display as well as message index. Code side is ok.

Well I uninstalled it after it said not to go ahead with the install because of the installation error. So what should I do? Try to install it again?

Use the mod parser (http://www.adrevenueshare.com/parser) and check those moddifications are present on your files.
There is not much changings (5 or 6), just check each modification and be sure search condition are present.
If its not (like index.template.php), then search replaced text and make it original (mod file contains it) back.
I can be more specific if you cant handle.

Awesome. I got it installed with no errors.
I had to make an edit on my custom theme. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do to make the meta description and meta keywords. I also don't want my forum name in the title of my forums. only on the homepage

EDIT: Ah, the options were hidden under basic features! Now I'm just working on taking the forum name out of all the boards except the homepage.

EDIT 2: All set and good to go. Thanks SONSiVRi for modding this mod! :)

Post by: SONSiVRi on September 18, 2008, 09:31:21 AM
It seems something wrong with your mod installation, the error happens if you dont have correct tables on your database.
But in our case its can't be, cause those are smf's tables already there.
I dunno how this problem solved, but you may check the mod installation of manual way.
Use this parser http://www.adrevenueshare.com/parser and make sure all modifications are done.
Btw I am talking about 1.1.6, if you are using 2.0 I dont know about it.

The way the database queries are made and the field names changed. Feel free to modify it to work with 1.1.x. All my mods were written specifically for my site. I am trying to give back to the community by sharing them. My time is limited so I really don't have the time to add features, make them work for other versions, etc.

Yes, I am using the ported version on my live forum for many months without any problems.

I will certainly use the SMF2 version.  Is it compatible with smf2beta4public?  It is a VERY GOOD mod, thank you for sharing it.

If is compatible with 2.0 Beta 4, however you will need to manually modify your index.template.php file. Due to the theme changes it doesn't automatically apply. Although it is a quick fix.

many thanks rsw686 & thanks SONSiVRi for the port

installs & works well, both the original on SMF 2.0 beta 4 & the ported version on 1.1.6 here 



For those using Ericsworld's E-Arcade mod, I noticed that this mod doesn't know about the arcade, so description and keywords are not altered on the play screens for each game

more accurately it's the arcade that doesn't know about the mod..

To rectify this is fairly simple:

Open up /Sources/ArcadePlay.php

Inside you will find function ArcadePlay()

Somewhere inside that function, include code to generate your arcade description and arcade keywords.

I added my code right below the following E-Arcade code:


// Generate html-code for game
if ($game['gameType'] == 0)
$context['arcade']['game']['html'] = ArcadeFlashHtml($game, true, $message);


My simple 'hardcoded' test example was to simply add:


$context['meta_keywords']          = "keywords, inside, arcade, play, screen";
$context['meta_description']        = "Arcade play screen with modified meta info";


You can make the code as complicated as you want to generate whatever meta strings required, so long as those strings end up in the $context array as above. If those 2 meta_* variables above are present & set, they will be echoed out.

I ended up with the full code:


// Generate html-code for game
if ($game['gameType'] == 0)
$context['arcade']['game']['html'] = ArcadeFlashHtml($game, true, $message);

// meta description and keywords for the arcade game play screens
$context['meta_keywords'] = $game['name'];
$context['meta_description'] = "Play " . $game['name'] . " at " . $context['forum_name'];


I guess a similar approach would work for other areas of the arcade such as games list / category screens etc; just edit the relevant arcade functions inside the relevant arcade /Sources/ files.

This 'mod of a mod' was tried on 1.1.6 - haven't tried it on smf 2.0 but something similar should be possible


Not too sure if the place where I've put the code, might mean my code would only work for flash games.. should be okay with a blank line in there to keep it away from that if-statement but somebody better at coding might want to comment on that. I only know odds and ends of php 




----------



for arcade category listing pages, could try something like the following at the very bottom of function ArcadeList() in file Sources/ArcadeList.php:

replace the very last line of the function:


$context['page_title'] = $txt['arcade_game_list'];


with code something like:


if  (isset($category))

    {

    $catname_fortags = db_query("
SELECT catName
FROM {$db_prefix}arcade_categories
WHERE ID_CAT=$category", __FILE__, __LINE__);

    $catname_fortags_fetched_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($catname_fortags);
    $catname_fortags_fetched = preg_replace("/[^a-z0-9]/i", " ", $catname_fortags_fetched_array['catName']);
    $context['page_title'] = $context['forum_name'] . " flash games arcade: " . $catname_fortags_fetched . " category";
    $context['meta_description'] = "Flash games category: " . $catname_fortags_fetched . " at " . $context['forum_name'];
    $context['meta_keywords'] = $catname_fortags_fetched;

    }

    else

    {

    $context['page_title'] = $txt['arcade_game_list'];

    }


I know, that doesn't use the language system properly & it's probably buggy as hell to boot as-is, just posting it as 'demo'.

there should probably be a few mysql_free_result()'s in there somewhere

For install in SMF 2.0 Beta 4 I have this in index.template.php:

<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '" />
<meta name="keywords" content="', $context['meta_keywords'], '" />


instead the lines that have to find the mod for install:


<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />
<meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />


its correct if I change that lines for or need to modify it to the version 2.0 Beta 4?:


<meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />
<meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />



is the only file that fail in the installation

No but you can remove the two values (meta_description, meta_keywords) manually from the settings table. It leaves these values so you don't have to re-enter the data when upgrading.

thank you for porting it .

here's the errors i get , including the error log

errors occur when :
a- click on category:

Note: It appears that your database may require an upgrade. Your forum's files are currently at version SMF 1.1.7, while your database is at version 1.1.6. The above error might possibly go away if you execute the latest version of upgrade.php.

A- Seems you don't have $sourcedir defined. Check your MessageIndex.php
function MessageIndex()
{
global $sourcedir;

If there is no $sourcedir, your installation isn't completed as should be. You need to check all modifications by yourself and correct missing ones.

B- I am not sure but your SQL error provided by $id_msg if null.

Ahh.. thank you very much SONSiVRi! I was in the rush of quickly installing this great mod and didn't pay attention to details...  ;)

I noticed that the mod is modifying only the default theme; for those like me that are using other themes, the lines between 60 and 80 must be replaced manually with the content of index.template.php from the default template. I guess it's enough to make the mod work correctly, am i right? Please confirm.
I mean i noticed the presence of expected description and keywords meta tags in the source, but i want to be sure that is the only modification needed.

And as probably expected, a few more questions/advices:
1. I noticed that in the source, inside the description meta tag, i have &quot;example&quot; instead of "example" as originally posted in the message; this may be a issue for crawlers to correctly understand the quoted words in the description and/or keyword tags?
2. I have an issue with the diacritics; same as mentioned in the above question i noticed the appearence of tot ce a&#355;i v&#259;zut instead of tot ce aţi văzut; what would be recommended about that?
3. I would rather prefer the meta description tag to include the content of the title tag, because i consider it to be more descriptive than using the first words of the message.
For this, i replaced:
<meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />', empty($context['robot_no_index']) ? '' : '
with
<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], ' - ', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />', empty($context['robot_no_index']) ? '' : '

as mentioned here (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=230321.msg1639665#msg1639665).
What is your opinion about that?
And by the way: what is the purpose of the following line ', empty($context['robot_no_index']) ? '' : '

Please excuse my long message, i hope i am not bothering with all my specific issues, but any help would be highly appreciated.

Later edit: for question #1: I believe that is normal that &quot; to replace " in the source, due to the fact that all the content of the meta tag is already quoted as php code; if this is so, please ignore that question. I am newbie also at php coding.

Post by: SONSiVRi on December 30, 2008, 02:00:07 PM
"ccraciun"
While installing, you need to edit custom theme index.template.php. You can test it while viewing the meta tags in your browser.
I can't answer your 1 2 3, I have no clear ideas about them.
You were asking "what is the purpose of the following line": that condition is for adding "no-follow" meta tag. Which is prevents search engines crawls duplicated pages (print, archieve, wap...). Value is set when those pages are viewing.

While installing, you need to edit custom theme index.template.php. You can test it while viewing the meta tags in your browser.
I can't answer your 1 2 3, I have no clear ideas about them.
You were asking "what is the purpose of the following line": that condition is for adding "no-follow" meta tag. Which is prevents search engines crawls duplicated pages (print, archieve, wap...). Value is set when those pages are viewing.
Ok, then it seems that the mod is perfectly working for me!
Cool line :) ... i was worried about the duplicated pages and without knowing this feature, i used Disallow: /*?action* line in robots.txt which gave me other big problems like not allowing google to see my sitemap, or gallery.  >:(
I understand that i can remove the "problem line" from robots.txt, and let only your mod do the job? This is great...

I am actively using robots.txt. Its having critical function. That meta tag isn't supported most of times, sometimes search engines still can crawl your pages and double indexing results to lowering your pagerank. I am attaching my robots file, you can take a look. Also check your website by using "site:www.smf.com" keyword, and you can see double indexes there (www.site.com/forum/index.php?topic=1234.0;prev_next=next#new and www.site.com/forum/index.php?topic=1234.0). Also you can see entry of SMF sitemap mod in robots file (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=755). Its perfectly working and I have indexed %90 of my forum in google (without double pages). But of course this doesn't mean I have higher pagerank, its around 2-3 I remember last.

I installed this mod on my smf 2.0 b4 forum and it created a place to add Meta Description and Meta Keywords in Home ->Admin->Modifications->Miscellaneous, but, the 2.0 b4 version already have a place to insert keywords in Home->Admin->Features and Options->Layout, I have a problem, every time I insert a keyword on any of the places to insert keywords, it duplicates that keyword.

To solve the problem I want to delete the "Meta Keywords associated with the forum" feature on Home->Admin->Features and Options->Layout.

What is the piece of code that I need to delete and what is the file to delete it?

Thanks for any help, appreciated.

Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: studentforums on January 22, 2009, 06:57:17 AM
I tried to install this mod, that someone edited for 1.1.x, for version 1.1.6 but got this error
Install Actions
Installations actions for "vBulletin Style Meta Tags":
Installing this package will perform the following actions:

I guess you could try to manually install the mod for 1.1.6, the edits are not that extensive.

If you do a back up of all the files you have to edit, it will only take a few seconds to restore everything.
It would also be a good idea to upgrade your forum to the latest version :)

You are right, there is already an option to set this under
Home->Admin->Features and Options->Layout
in the 2.0B4 version...

So what is the difference, when I would install this MOD ?

Why is a good Meta tag option not yet included in 2.0B4 standard installation ?

Among other things, this mod generates keywords for your particular topic.

Unfortunately, I have to disable this feature because it does not work for Thai-language(I am working on it though  ;D ).

So how does it do it ?

Does it grab some keywords out of the posted text somehow and then inserts
these into the Meta tags ?

How does it find these keywords ?

2. Is it now fully compatible with SMF 2.0B4 with the default theme
or when will it be ?

If you insist to apply subsequent mod (vBulletin Style Meta Tags), those 2 patterns wont be touched because "find" criteria doesnt match but the rest of "vBulletin Style Meta Tags" will be applied and it shown installed. After that you have to modify these patterns by yourself and make mod is running. To do that you need to download and edit "$themedir/index.template.php" by finding and replacing proper codes as you wrote above. But I think its the best way uninstall of "EASY EDIT META DATA". Because you dont need that one while you using "vBulletin Style Meta Tags". Both are working for same job and you only need one. I dunno what "EASY EDIT META DATA" mod does but I think "vBulletin Style Meta Tags" is automated version of it.
Sorry SONSiVRi - I had trouble uninstalling the Easy Edit Meta Data mod because it failed the test for the ModSettings.php and Help.english.php files (all others were successful). Anyway, I ran out of time back then and then got on to other things, but now I'd like to try to complete the process of uninstalling it so I can install your version of the vBulletin Style Meta Tags mod for 1.1.7.

Do you have any idea why I am failing those tests?  A conflict, I suppose, with another mod:

I'm hoping that by uninstalling Easy Edit Meta Data and instaling your vBulletin Style Meta Tags mod, it will help take care of what Google Diagnostics is telling me:
[1] I have 13 pages with duplicate meta descriptions (it shows the description I entered using the Easy Edit Meta Data mod)
[2] I have 2 pages with duplicate title tags
[3] I have 2 HTTP errors

I don't understand all this, except that it affects my page ranking &/or SEO.  I would like to optimize my page ranking and SE results because I am virtually invisible right now to Google.

For uninstalling mod; you can unintall even it says there is mismatch. Only mismatch ones left untouched, and rest of wiped out while uninstalling. Then all you need to is; manually uninstall left code parts. You can check those by unpacking mod (archieve) file and looking correct lines in install.xml. You didn't wrote (or I couldn't see) which meta mod is yours, overtaken or original (there are two)? I presume you used original (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=761) one. So in your case those two modifications are;

<file name="$sourcedir/ModSettings.php">

<!-- -->
<operation>
<search position="before"><![CDATA[ require_once($sourcedir . '/ManageServer.php');

$subActions = array(

<add><![CDATA[ 'meta' => array(
'title' => $txt['mods_cat_meta'],
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=featuresettings;sa=meta;sesc=' . $context['session_id'],
),
]]></add>
</operation>
<!--  -->
<operation>
<search position="after"><![CDATA[?>]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
// Function to load template/modify meta settings

{
global $context, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings, $db_prefix, $helptxt;

$config_vars = array(
array('large_text', 'meta_description', '5', &$txt['meta_description'], 'meta_description'),
array('large_text', 'meta_keywords', '5', &$txt['meta_keywords'], 'meta_keywords'),
array('text', 'meta_author', '40', &$txt['meta_author'], 'meta_author'),
array('text', 'meta_copyright', '40', &$txt['meta_copyright'], 'meta_copyright'),
);

// Saving?
if (isset($_GET['save']))
{

saveDBSettings($config_vars);
writeLog();

redirectexit('action=featuresettings;sa=meta');
}

$context['post_url'] = $scripturl . '?action=featuresettings2;save;sa=meta';
$context['settings_title'] = $txt['meta_mod'];

prepareDBSettingContext($config_vars);

}
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>


<file name="$languagedir/Help.english.php">
<operation>
<search position="after"><![CDATA[?>]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[
$helptxt['meta_description'] = 'You can enter a description of your board.  If you leave it blank, your page title will appear in the description. <br/> It is recommended to keep it to less than 200 characters.';
$helptxt['meta_keywords'] = 'Enter your keywords spaced by commas eg house, car. <br/> It is recommended to keep it to less than 200 characters.';
$helptxt['meta_author'] = 'Put your name in the page.  Not all search engines recognise this tag.';
$helptxt['meta_copyright'] = 'Put your copyright information in the meta data, use &amp;copy; for the copyright symbol.';
]]></add>
</operation>
</file>



There is no replace code, so you need to basically find codes between <add>....</add> tags and wipe them out. <search>...</search> These tags is for where goes modification codes placed to. Namely we can call it markers. You don't touch them. Just wipe out codes between <add></add> tags. Just in case, make sure you backed up your forum before uninstalling. Feel free to ask un-clear parts you still have in mind, but I may not answer right-away. Because last time I logged in simplemachines was around 1 month ago.

My meta is displaying this in the source:

I just want it to display this:

<meta name="keywords" content="Youtube, MP3, converter, Youtube to MP3 converter, " />


I've looked in my index.template file in my theme and it's not there. Apparently when uninstalling easy edit meta and installing this, the meta files gets moved to $modsettings. I don't know how to fix this. "PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" gets placed on every page and I just wanna know how to remove it.

Please help.

well i read all post here and now i know how to find if your mod is working or not

my conclution is... the fields in the admin they will be kept in blank

but if you notice in every single topic of your board if you see the source of every page they have metatags and they are diferent all that means the mod is working fine so thanks for the wondorfull mod and hope this can help people that dosent know how this mod works you can visit my site and see for yourself

I am using 2.0 RC1. SimplePortal 2.1.1 and Extreme 6 theme.

Can someone please tell me if this mod works with 2.0 RC1 and a custom theme?

I have searched this thread, and am now just simply confused.

If it is possible, could someone please just spell out how to make it work as though they were telling a complete noob, and not a coder with 500 years experience   

I've tried to install this mod and get the following error:

./Themes/default/index.template.php  Test Failed

Mod is looking for in ./Themes/default/index.template.php:
   <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />

My ./Themes/default/index.template.php has this in it.

<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="', $context['meta_keywords'], '" />

I tried replacing my code for what the install is looking for but still get same error when trying to install.

I have relpaced Meta Description and  Keywords within my custom 'Extreme' theme. Would that make any difference?

Any help would be great.

My terms are;
Find code: That located in mod file, between Find tags.
Replace code: Code in between Replace tags right after Find tag.
Original code: Code is in your blabla.php file.

P.S: There are two types altering in mod files, additions (add after, add before) and replacing (replace). I am just telling replace side, you can apply these steps to the other ones too.

You tried to change your find code with original code, mod could install correctly. But seems you ignored dummy spaces or trailing spaces. It has to be exact characters placed, not much, not less. It may your editor shapes your copy/paste text. Use notepad while copying (from mod file) and pasting (into your php file) process. Even this trick doesn't work, you can always manually edit your files.

To manual edit;
You should place find code in your mod file, look for where it cannot match in original code, and delete those "doesn't match" area and paste there replace code. So that, you altered your file behalf of auto-installer, nothing much needed, installation is done.

But keep in mind;
If you have custom theme, it may uses its own index.template.php. Then mod doesn't work, you need extra steps to take. Because you edited default theme's php file, not php file you are currently using. Check your custom theme directory (whatever name is), locate index.template.php there; if it's exist, you need to edit it like you did before (manual installation steps). But this time you have to alter all edits related to index.template.php in the mod, not only "test failed" ones.

I know this doesn't enough to tell what you need, but I can't be clear as I dunno where you stuck at. So you have to ask what part you didn't understand, and spot me where you needed more guidance.

SONSiVRi, thank you kindly for your reply.

It did use notepad to try and edit and simply clicked select from the error window and pasted text into notepad exactly as copied.

I will study your reply and try again.  I have 8 duplicate meta descriptions showing in Google webmasters tools, so I would like to try and sort this if I can. Shame I'm only pretending to be a clever webmaster though  :-[

My second message wasn't directed at you, it's reply to another person.

To your problem;
you were copying text from error window, I don't remember what error window it could be but you are using wrong place to copy, you should directly rip that codes in from mod file. Here is example;
Click here => http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1138
Select "metatags_1.1.zip" and choose your SMF version, then hit the "parse" button.
You are now seeing alters need to be done, press select to copy it.

Btw, I am having duplicate metatags too. I am using robots.txt file to block replicas of original page, like these
Disallow: /forum/index.php*.msg
Disallow: /forum/index.php*;wap2
Disallow: /forum/index.php?action=printpage
I can give you mine if you needed it.

Sorry SONSiVRi I did'nt notice.

I copied the text from the the small note to the left of the 'Test Failed' error when trying to install the mod.

(HERE) 1. Replace ./Themes/default/index.template.php Hope that makes sense.

It is laid out like

Find [Select]

   <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />

Replace [Select]

      <meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />

I think I just need a little time to get my head round how to make this work,

I see I have to change my template ./Themes/default/index.template.php as well. I have already manually changed that to suit my forum with new keywords etc so will have a go at replacing correct mod text there as well.

Thank you.

However then the forum boards pages are not loading but coming as blank.

Is the 1.1.8 version working properly? Is it dynamically picking keywords and descriptions?
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: webrookie on May 11, 2009, 09:38:27 PM
Yes it is picking up dynamically the keywords and descriptions.
You can always see the page source from the view menu in your web browser to check the keywords and descriptions for a page.

Ok heres where I'm at.

I am using 2.0 RC1. SimplePortal 2.1.1 and Extreme 6 theme.

SONSiVRi you where very helpful before and I hope you, or another member, can help further.

I did a part automatic and part manual install and the mod appears to be loaded fine in browse packages.

A couple of problems though.

1.The mod picks up meta keywords but only ones I enter in Admin / Configuration / Features and Options / Layout /  Meta keywords associated with forum and shows them twice (duplicated) in view source. If I remove my keywords from the admin area then the default ones appear just once. Re insert my own and they appear twice again. I thought this mod applied its own kewords according to page?

2.The mod only changes description on the forum pages, which is great but my other pages, Gallery, Home, etc do not show any meta description at all.

I have added some code supplied by another member here that at least shows the page title for each page which is a lot better than nothing at all.

This is what I have in both my default theme and my custom theme in index template.php

<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], ' - ', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />

Can anyone help me get this working right?

Thank you.

As you said; this mod rips words off from posts and put those into meta tag keywords. As this simple.

To using in your gallery for example, you need to write your own code that rips your media on gallery and put into meta tags. Same for portal main page; rips articles...

For those getting the SQL errors, open /Sources/Display.php, and find this area here:


$context['meta_keywords'] = MetaTagsGenerateKeywords($topicinfo['subject']);
$context['meta_description'] = MetaTagsGenerateTeaser($topicinfo['ID_FIRST_MSG']);


Make sure that 'ID_FIRST_MSG' is in the proper case. I ran into this issue when I manually installed it to my v1.1.9 board, and used SONSiVRi's version of MetaTags.php. (and probably could have avoided it by just using his port to begin with xD).

It works great, though. :D

Can you please clarify what is the status of this mod for non-core themes? I'm running Kani. Do I have to update all the themes manually if using in 1.1.9. If so, could you kindly mention the pages that one needs to edit?

I changed description/keywords under "Features & Options" but it doesn't show up in my view source (maybe because I'm using Kani)

It would save some confusion if the mod authors mentioned the conditions underwhich a mod works for example ("works for core theme only, change manually for all others", "here is the path to manage this theme" etc.) just some friendly suggestion :)

Thanks again for porting!

This mod has only 1 file to works with custom theme, and yes you have to edit it for all theme files.
Where did I get 1 file?
I opened package-info.xml (same for all mods), followed install file name <modification format="xml" type="file">install.xml</modification>, then opened that install.xml, and checked for <file name="$themedir/.... sections. Here is our 1 section;

<file name="$themedir/index.template.php">
        <operation>
            <search position="replace"><![CDATA[<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />]]></search>
            <add><![CDATA[<meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />]]></add>
        </operation>
        <operation>
            <search position="replace"><![CDATA[<meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />]]></search>
            <add><![CDATA[<meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />]]></add>
        </operation>
</file>


We have two changings, and you need to apply those changins in your custom themes, all of them. You are applied keywords in features page but there is no code using them, until you embed above codes into your theme. Those codes will display it.

And why it's have to be manual changes on custom theme? Because as the name says; it is "custom", search pattern is different.

Well I want to say thanks to sonsivri for the coversion for us using 1.1.xx thanks!

I am not to smart when it comes to meta tags and stuff so I want to ask this question... i had to edit my index.template file since it failed... it looks like this now I hope it is right?

<meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />', empty($context['robot_no_index']) ? '' : '
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />', '
<meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />



How come now when I look at the properties when on my main forum is see this below? I know the (PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum) was removes in my edit but I see it still  :P

Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: SONSiVRi on October 10, 2009, 02:03:47 PM
Never thought that, but it's not difficult to code. Parse meta-keyword into array by comma character, then loop through that array for duplicates, and eliminate if exist.

My 2 boards are 1.1.10 and 2 RC1.2 - can you tell us if both are supported (with or without tinkering)?

Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: SONSiVRi on October 10, 2009, 06:03:01 PM
Original mod is published to 2.x family. And I remember I ported this mod to 1.1.x family. If I did, I attached it to the post in this topic. Tinkering depends on custom theme.
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: argimiro on October 10, 2009, 06:18:11 PM
Just was worried if .10 had introduced some change that killed it on 1.1.x or made it dangerous to try to install - if not so, i'll have at it :)

Ahh.. getting one error in package installation in SMF2 RC1.2

It is looking to replace this in /themes/default/index.template.php


<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />  <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />


but I seem to have this in the default template


<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '" />
<meta name="keywords" content="', $context['meta_keywords'], '" />


Maybe I don't have a standard index.template.php for some reason.

2.x
Seems you installed something to do with meta tags. Else you can edit manually and give it a try.

1.1.10
It is not a big problem I think. And why didn't you upgraded it, lots of stuff changed, security fixes too.

edit: For 2.x, I dunno which mod changed it, none of them are related to meta tag.

Post by: argimiro on October 10, 2009, 06:46:24 PM
It looks as if 2 RC1.2 has introduced some kind of vestigial attempt at coding support for meta keywords into admin --> features and options --> layout --> "Meta keywords associated with forum. For search engines, leave blank for default."

Not double words are the problem. In smf 2 there is an option for meta-keywords, and now is the same option in this mods options too. Thats why i get the standard keywords twice in my mainpage. If i delete the meta-keywords from forum options, they will deleted from mod options too.

i.e. in forum options i say "abc, def, ghi" are standard meta-keywords, then in main page i get "abc, def, ghi,abc, def, ghi" as meta-keywords.

After i deleted the keywords line from subs.php, it seems to work corectly. But now i have an other problem.

My site is in utf-8 and the mod makes keywords like this:

<meta name="keywords" content="Aslantepe, n, aat, Alan, Aslantepe - İnşaat Alanı, aslantepe, ttarena, stadyum, stadium" />

the last 4 words are my standart keywords, "Aslantepe - İnşaat Alanı" is the subject of the topic. All special characters (turkish in this case) makes problems.

Post by: codyodell on November 17, 2009, 04:42:55 PM
This is the fix everyone has been look for, I believe.

in /Sources/MetaTags.php replace the MetaTagsGenerateTeaser function with this function:


function MetaTagsGenerateTeaser ($id_msg)
{

$sql    = "SELECT body FROM smf_messages WHERE id_msg = ".$id_msg;
$res    = mysql_query($sql);
$arRes  = mysql_fetch_row($res);
$teaser = $arRes[0];
// Format as a plain text string.
$teaser = MetaTagsSpecialChars(str_replace('<br />', ' ', parse_bbc($teaser)));

// Less than the teasear limit, just return.
if(strlen($teaser) < 150)
return $teaser;

// Otherwise grab the teaser.
$teaser = substr($teaser, 0, 150);
return substr($teaser, 0, strrpos($teaser, ' '));
}


Hope that helps.

In the meta keyword line it says:

T, m, testi, Tämä on testi, auto, autot, keskustelu, foorumi

The topic of the thread: Tämä on testi
The last four words are the keywords defined in Admin panel.

So the ultimate problem here is that the first keywords (which are the topic of the thread) are duplicated. They are also duplicated when there are no scandinavian letters (ä or ö) in the topic.

Any solutions?

Go to a thread and see keywords line. It should be: Topic Subject, keywords hard coded in template

Let's take this http://www.freakygurus.com/index.php?topic=2466.0 (http://www.freakygurus.com/index.php?topic=2466.0) for example. In keywords line, it shows only keywords you have defined in your Admin panel, TWICE.

The current line is: <meta name="keywords" content="yahoo booters,booter,yahoobooter,yahoo booter,yahoo tools,yahoo crackers,downloads,yahoo,movies,ebooks,download,games,software,antivirus,proxy,servers, yahoo booters,booter,yahoobooter,yahoo booter,yahoo tools,yahoo crackers,downloads,yahoo,movies,ebooks,download,games,software,antivirus,proxy,servers" />

What it should be: <meta name="keywords" content="u can request for group membership, yahoo booters,booter,yahoobooter,yahoo booter,yahoo tools,yahoo crackers,downloads,yahoo,movies,ebooks,download,games,software,antivirus,proxy,servers" />

Let's take this http://www.freakygurus.com/index.php?topic=2466.0 (http://www.freakygurus.com/index.php?topic=2466.0) for example. In keywords line, it shows only keywords you have defined in your Admin panel, TWICE.

The current line is: <meta name="keywords" content="yahoo booters,booter,yahoobooter,yahoo booter,yahoo tools,yahoo crackers,downloads,yahoo,movies,ebooks,download,games,software,antivirus,proxy,servers, yahoo booters,booter,yahoobooter,yahoo booter,yahoo tools,yahoo crackers,downloads,yahoo,movies,ebooks,download,games,software,antivirus,proxy,servers" />

What it should be: <meta name="keywords" content="u can request for group membership, yahoo booters,booter,yahoobooter,yahoo booter,yahoo tools,yahoo crackers,downloads,yahoo,movies,ebooks,download,games,software,antivirus,proxy,servers" />

sources/subs.php

remove this line

$context['meta_keywords'] = !empty($modSettings['meta_keywords']) ? $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($modSettings['meta_keywords']) : 'PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum';

Hi,

also, the smileys and non breaking spaces (&nbsp;) or other stuff like that, should not be included in the description as they're return like "�" (I'm on utf-8)

Nice mod. Just a "but".
Every single page in a specific forum has the same title and description...
I would do something like this to improve this mod...

Open: MessageIndex.php
Find:
// 'Print' the header and board info.
$context['page_title'] = strip_tags($board_info['name']) . ' - ' . $context['forum_name'];
require_once($sourcedir . '/MetaTags.php');
$context['meta_description'] = MetaTagsSpecialChars($board_info['name'] . ' - ' . $board_info['description']);
$context['meta_keywords'] = MetaTagsGenerateKeywords($board_info['name']);


Replace with:
// 'Print' the header and board info.
$context['page_title'] = strip_tags($board_info['name']) . ' - ' . $context['forum_name'] . ' (Page: ' . $context['page_info']['current_page'] . ')';
require_once($sourcedir . '/MetaTags.php');
$context['meta_description'] = MetaTagsSpecialChars($board_info['name'] . ' - ' . $board_info['description']) . ' - Page ' . $context['page_info']['current_page'];
$context['meta_keywords'] = MetaTagsGenerateKeywords($board_info['name']) . ', Page ' . $context['page_info']['current_page'];


It should be the same (or something like) for display.php...

In this way, you are adding the number of the current page to the title, description, and keywords...
Of course you should reduce the description length, etc...


QuoteHi,

QuoteThanks Sonsivri

keyword to appear in Turkish characters can be done ?

(anahtar kelime bölümünde türkçe karakterlerin görünmesi için ne yapılabilir)

About that:

Open: MetaTags.php

find:
return str_replace('"', '&quot;', strip_tags(html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES)));

replace with:
return str_replace('"', '&quot;', strip_tags(html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));

or replace the 'UTF-8' with whatever language encode you're using... like ISO-XXX or whatever.

take care.

Did you tried your character encoding tip on any forum? I am just asking to let people know this is the solution. Because most members asked about it.
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: esttecb on February 06, 2010, 10:01:26 PM
UTF-8 is supposed to work with any character.
I tried with special spanish characters myself (¿, ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú) and it worked like a charm.

take care.

Hello,

I allowed myself of hanged again the module to adapt to smf2 rc3, with some improvements and fix :

Quote- Compatibility 2rc3
- Moving the description field configuration above keywords
- Improved code generation for keywords:
----- Process lighter
----- Words <= 3 characters are automatically skipped in the keywords
----- You can customize the list of words that are ignored in the file metatags.php the varaible $common_words
----- Compatibility utf8 (éàé. ...)
- Added page number in the description

I took the module only because it seems to be abandoned, if this is not the case please contact me so that I removed :P

Working:

Configure your meta as in the screenshot:

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg62.imageshack.us%2Fimg62%2F5416%2Fcapturezv.png&hash=d44a3fd90f1a291d7d8965a8b61e8d2f5cc37d0b)

In the index of your forum, you will have the meta as follows:

<meta name="description" content="Description of your site, visible only in index ^^" />
<meta name="keywords" content="board, smf, meta tags, visible in all page" />
<title>NameSite - Index</title>


In a board you will have the meta as follows:

<meta name="description" content="Name Board - this a Description for my new board for geek ... - Page 1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Name, Board, Name Board, board, smf, meta tags, visible in all page" />
<title>Name Board  - NameSite  (Page: 1)</title>


In a topic, you will have the meta as follows:

<meta name="description" content="50 first lettres of this topic" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Title, topic, Titile topic, board, smf, meta tags, visible in all page" />
<title>Title topic - NameSite</title>


I hope you enjoy it, and thx google traduction  ;)

Thank you rsw686 for making a mod like this.  And Thank you "SONSiVRi" for making it happen for all the 1.1.x version people.

SMF has nice folks like you guys which making it more successful each and everyday.

keep up the good work.

Of course they do, no matter where you rank on google, no one will click if the description is poor. The description is often drawn from the meta description, so yes they do matter.

Notice: Undefined index: mytab_Custom_URL in /home/**********/public_html/Sources/Subs.php on line 3861

I Am Waiting!!!

In my smf 1.1.9, its located in "admin\features options\basic features" as a textboxes named  "meta description" "meta keywords". I dunno where it should be located on smf 2.x family.

dbmodify.php is just for adding settings entry into database. you can do it by yourself. variable names and parameters are located in dbmodify.php itself. But it seems there is a problem on your setup, you might mixed up something there and subs.php giving error.

Is It Necessary To Run dbmodify.php?
And
Whats The Reason No Setting Option Visible In My Admin Panel?
I Think Its Related To ManageSettings.php File
Is There Any Error?

According To My Senses ManageSettings.php Is Associated With Showing Setting Panel In ADMIN Panel.
There Must Be Some Mistake Within It.

Hello,

I allowed myself of hanged again the module to adapt to smf2 rc3, with some improvements and fix :

Quote- Compatibility 2rc3
- Moving the description field configuration above keywords
- Improved code generation for keywords:
----- Process lighter
----- Words <= 3 characters are automatically skipped in the keywords
----- You can customize the list of words that are ignored in the file metatags.php the varaible $common_words
----- Compatibility utf8 (éàé. ...)
- Added page number in the description

I took the module only because it seems to be abandoned, if this is not the case please contact me so that I removed :P

Working:

Configure your meta as in the screenshot:

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg62.imageshack.us%2Fimg62%2F5416%2Fcapturezv.png&hash=d44a3fd90f1a291d7d8965a8b61e8d2f5cc37d0b)

In the index of your forum, you will have the meta as follows:

<meta name="description" content="Description of your site, visible only in index ^^" />
<meta name="keywords" content="board, smf, meta tags, visible in all page" />
<title>NameSite - Index</title>


In a board you will have the meta as follows:

<meta name="description" content="Name Board - this a Description for my new board for geek ... - Page 1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Name, Board, Name Board, board, smf, meta tags, visible in all page" />
<title>Name Board  - NameSite  (Page: 1)</title>


In a topic, you will have the meta as follows:

<meta name="description" content="50 first lettres of this topic" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Title, topic, Titile topic, board, smf, meta tags, visible in all page" />
<title>Title topic - NameSite</title>


I hope you enjoy it, and thx google traduction  ;)

Installed and setup this mod without any errors but i can't seem to get the mod to work exactly how i want it to.

Now when i do a search result, the site now has the Meta Description included:

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg411.imageshack.us%2Fimg411%2F2166%2F47653444.png&hash=291503ae7af20a75ba53e2bd8e3ded5b5f216599)

Which is great but i want it to show more information like this:

I thought this mod was designed to show sites like this, did i assume incorrect or am i just doing something wrong?

You need to install Sitemap (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=755) as well.

Don't forget to add your site to Google Webmasters (//http://) and tell Google where your Site Map is.

This mod works for me in Extreme6 custom theme but on forum posts only. Any of my other pages i.e my bakers dozen mod pages or my gallery or Simple Portal home page just show my own default page title and my default meta keywords.

I guess what I'm asking, is this correct behaviour of this mod? just to modify text from forum posts and nothing else?

Anybody got any ideas how I can make this mod work on all my pages?

Thanks.
As you said; this mod rips words off from posts and put those into meta tag keywords. As this simple.

To using in your gallery for example, you need to write your own code that rips your media on gallery and put into meta tags. Same for portal main page; rips articles...

Hello, I don't understand what part of code I must write for simple portal index page.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

Hi, New to the SMF forum, so firstly hello to all :)

I've got a problem with the vBulletin Style Meta Tags mod. I'll try and explain it as clearly as possible.

Homepage of forum : bodymuscle.co.uk

The homepage is displaying information exactly how I would like it to, i have set this up in the Configuration > Modification Settings > Miscellaneous.

Boards are being displayed well also, it's grabbing the meta description from the description of that board, and the meta keywords from the forum keywords as setup in Configuration > Modification Settings > Miscellaneous. Is there any way to change where it fetches the keywords from??

Lastly (but most important to me) the posts appear to be fetching the description from the first sentance or two of the post, but it is getting the keywords from the overall forum default?  As far as i understand the mod should do the following?

Forum Index
Title: Forum Name - Index
Keywords: your keywords
Description: your description
Works Perfectly

Message Index
Title: Board Name - Forum Name
Keywords: Board, Name, Board Name, your keywords
Description: Board Name - Board Description
Working on the Title & Description, but not on keywords?

Message Display
Title: Topic Subject - Forum Name
Keywords: Topic, Subject, Topic Subject, your keywords
Description: First 150 characters of post
Working on Title & Description but not on keywords

Can anyone shead any light on this? I can post up some php config of certain files if needed.

I have been through the manual installation instructions and checked all the code, but i can't seem to spot why this isn't working.

Many Thanks

James

Many thanks Sirius OCTeam for the RC4 update, works great other than the mod repeats user keywords twice and does not allow post keywords to be shown.

I found the solution was to find and delete this line in Subs.php
$context['meta_keywords'] = !empty($modSettings['meta_keywords']) ? $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars']($modSettings['meta_keywords']) : '';

You can see the difference using this site http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html (http://www.seocentro.com/tools/search-engines/metatag-analyzer.html)

Careful. As Kindred pointed out, it's not SMF policy to attached modified mods. PM the current mod developer first. If he doesn't reply, then post the attachment, but it's very likely that a moderator will remove your attachment. I'm not sure what the correct procedure is, but I suggest you find out.
Title: Re: vBulletin Style Meta Tags
Post by: MiY4Gi on August 08, 2011, 10:43:20 AM
Alright, I just discovered that the mod hasn't been working on my forum for a while. After a little analyzing I realized that it was because I changed my theme, and the mod was only installed on the default Curve theme. This is just a heads up for anyone else who's thinking of changing theme. Re-install the mod after you change your theme.

I originally thought it might have been due to me using PortaMxSEF (another version of pretty urls), but I was wrong. I forgot that mods need to be re-installed or checked on every new theme.

That, my friend, is either the way SMF works, or it is a bug in SMF. That problem comes standard in the default SMF install.

What really annoys me about the problem is that the ajax anchor tags (eg. #123) which are meant to take you to the relevant post (i.e. post #123) without reloading the page, can't do what it's supposed to do, since the URL is different (eg. topic=4356 =>topic=4356.msg123#123 instead of topic=4356 => topic=4356#123).

Anyway, I'm gonna create a new topic that discusses this. I reckon they should just remove the ajax #number bit since it's now redundant.

Actually, the ajax tag does serve it's purpose in that, without the tag (e.g. topic=4356.msg123), the browser simply goes to the top of the page containing the post (i.e. msg123), but with the tag (e.g. topic=4356.msg123#123), the browser not only goes to the page containing the post, but it also points to the relevant post within the page (i.e. post #123).

It already works for 2.0.1. Emulate the installation package for 2.0.1.

My bad.. sorry ;/

But still I have one question. In keywords, mod removes polish characters in single words.

If word is "Które" in site source will be "Kt", but in keyword where is whole topic title it's correct. Any way to fix that?

I'm using UTF8.

So it is still safe,  on 2.0.15
as getting the same theme error on default theme, near plain install:

Quote

./Themes/default/index.template.php
Find: [Select]

   <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />

Replace With: [Select]

   <meta name="description" content="', !empty($context['meta_description']) ? $context['meta_description'] : $modSettings['meta_description'], '" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? $context['meta_keywords'] . ', ' : '', $modSettings['meta_keywords'], '" />

and i got:




// ]]></script>';

   echo '
   <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=', $context['character_set'], '" />
   <meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '" />', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? '
   <meta name="keywords" content="' . $context['meta_keywords'] . '" />' : '', '
   <title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '</title>';


   // Please don't index these Mr Robot.


So should i replace all of it, ...simple as that or should i..
