Improved Meta Keywords and Description Tags

[flickernever]

I applied your changes and noticed that now every time I try to post a message on a thread an error appears displaying "Warning - while you were reading X new replies have been posted. You may wish to review your post." even that in fact that is not true. X is the number of posts that are in the original thread.

I applied all the modifications correctly. What is happening?

Problem solved. The display.php modification was bady done.

On the board index you have

Title: Forum Name - Index
Keywords: hard coded in template
Description: hard coded in template

On the message index you have

Title: Board Name - Forum Name
Keywords: Board Name, keywords hard coded in template
Description: Board Description

On the message display you have

Title: Topic Subject - Forum Name
Keywords: Topic Subject, keywords hard coded in template
Description: Topic Subject Board Name

I've placed this code in my files but I'm getting some errors (in RED) on the meta tags as follows:

<meta name="description" content="O maior portal para professores de Portugal. Se é professor, junte-se a nós!, Já descongelámos" />
<meta name="keywords" content="fórum,sala dos professores, saladosprofessores, professores, ensino, Portugal, ensino em Portugal, disciplina, disciplinas, educadores, educadoras, educadores de infância, professor universitário, português, inglês, francês, alemão, matemática, história, geografia, e.v.t., educação musical, educação física, filisofia, estudo acompanhado, formação cívica, área de projecto, professor, professores, fórum, ciências da natureza, biologia, fisico-química, economia, informática, desporto, e.m.r.c., , Já, descongelámosGeral,, Já, descongelámos" />

Could you please tell me how to remove the extra commas?

Thank you,
Raul Nunes

Show me the code for the meta tags in index.template.php. You must have extra commas typed in there.

Here it is:

Code Select Expand

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


Thank you,
