Put topic name words in a meta name keywords

rumfa · April 11, 2008, 03:15:36 PM

What is the code i need to put in the <meta name="keywords" content="....." /> so it shows separate keywords from the topic title the user is visiting.
For example. If I am on a topic "who is the best", that in the keywords i get the following words: "who, is, the, best"---> <meta name="keywords" content="who, is, the, best" />

I know you use the $context['page_title'] to show the whole sentence, but how to you separate them with an comma?

something like this might do it...

Code Select


$pieces = explode(' ', $context['page_title']);
foreach($pieces as $piece) 
{
        $comma_string .= $piece . ', ';
}

That will store a comma seperated list of the words in $comma_string

Where schould i put it? Between the " " I get an error.

Code Select

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';' in .../Themes/newdef112_tp/index.template.php on line 70

The meta name looks like this.

Code Select

<meta name="keywords" content="$pieces = explode(' ', $context['page_title']);
foreach($pieces as $piece) 
{
        $comma_string .= $piece . ', ';
} "/>

Do this:

Code Select


	global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

        $pieces = explode(' ', $context['page_title']);
                foreach($pieces as $piece)
                {
                        $comma_string .= $piece . ', ';
                }

	// Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating.
	echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

	<meta name="keywords" content="', $comma_string, '" />
	<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/script.js?fin11"></script>

Aha..thanks man..it works. This schould to to the tips and tricks. It's a quite important seo stuff

rumfa · April 12, 2008, 04:46:39 PM

I get the following arror in my smf list:

Code Select

8: Undefined variable: comma_string
Datoteka: /home/selovese/public_html/Themes/default/TPortal.template.php (main_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 67

Code Select

64$pieces = explode(' ', $context['page_title']);
65foreach($pieces as $piece)
66{
67        $comma_string .= $piece . ', ';
68}

Is this because it is a custom name or so and the smf doesn't recognise it? I have something like 6 pages of this errors.

metallica48423 · April 12, 2008, 04:57:35 PM

im not sure why its doing that... the variable is, without a doubt, defined...

I'll have to look at it more closely when i get home.

rumfa · April 12, 2008, 04:59:00 PM

OK no prob...take you time...

metallica48423 · April 13, 2008, 02:34:54 PM

Try this:

Code Select


	global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

        $comma_string = '';
        $pieces = explode(' ', $context['page_title']);
                foreach($pieces as $piece)
                {
                        $comma_string .= $piece . ', ';
                }

	// Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating.
	echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
