Easy Edit Meta Data

[Ambasador]

Nice mod, but why not changing it manually? I've changed it in default/index.template.php, dunno if there is any use for it, but I suppose there is as smf added their meta there.

^true

I broke my 1st forum doing exactly that, then i discovered this mod.

[karlbenson]

Indeed, even though I can easily edit it.

I still have my mod installed so I can do it in 2 clicks

[goldenboy48]

If you can do it that way, you are welcome to.

its just that some people don't feel comfortable at editing the files and would rather have an area to edit the information.

Agree with you.

It can be useful if you put the translation into Italian

I have reuploaded this mod and screenshots for it.

I am in the process of doing it for ALL my other mods aswell.  Please bear with me.

[dumblonde]

Probably a stupid question  but after installing this mod where do I go to change my metatags?

[karlbenson]

via a new tab in the features and options menu.

Admin > Features & Options

[dumblonde]

Ahhh, thank you I knew it was right under my nose 

Do you recommend deleting all the keywords that are in there now  (PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum) since my site's content has nothing to do with any of them.

[karlbenson]

yeah.

[Stephen5588]

I installed the mod through my admin area but i dont see the mod anywhere, is there suppose to be a new link somewhere in my admin area so I can change my meta tags etc?

[JimM]

Yep

via a new tab in the features and options menu.

Admin > Features & Options

And it works great.  I had been meaning to get around to editing these and this mod made it so easy.

Hi guys the mod installed fine for me, but the modsettings.php wasn't working well.
So I edited manually the file, and the index.template.php.

In the Features and Options Tab, there is an empty space and no link, any ideas?

Which theme and language are you using?

[karlbenson]

Your missing the language strings.

Are you using utf8?
If so you need to copy the language strings of the mod to Modifications.english-utf8.php
If your using a language other than english you'll also need to copy the language strings (and translate as necessary) into your Modifications.{language}.php

[lonrot]

I´m using the default english pack that came with SMF.
And my mod is SoftMC Blue.

[shadowravenhawk]

I didn't change the install.php page when I uploaded. I go some bad advice. Can I upload this now? If so how do I change this? Where is this mod located?

[karlbenson]

Use a package parser and make sure you do all the edits.

[shadowravenhawk]

I did all the edits but where and how do I insert the changed file into the server?
