LG Better Meta v1.8.0 not working on EE 1.6.7

Any thought? Using a specific entry number works as I indicated above but not the {segement_1} variable, etc. I resolved the second issue, figuring out that the meta template in the extension settings just needs to be edited to remove the elements I don’t want to show up.

Hey Jerry,

Are you 100% sure your url_title for the about page is “about”? Can you PM a URL?

Cheers

Any update to when this will work for those of us stuck with php4? Thanks.

I’m working on an update that removes the short tags and php 5 stuff now. I have to roll back a little becuase I got too creative but it shouldn’t be too long.

Hi Leevi..

any progress on this yet?

Not yet… The quick update is to replace all instances of

self::[code] with [code]$this->

. If you want to remove the shorttag support replace all

<?= ... ?>

with

<?php echo(...); ?>

For some people who may be seeing an error similar to this…

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::parse_weblog_entries() in /home/sitename/public_html/cms/plugins/pi.lg_better_meta_pl.php on line 410

in their sitemap.xml template I have found a fix for my specific case (sort of).

If you try and reference a weblog which has no entries you get this error. It is only realistic that you would have no entries on a brand new install so I put a test entry in each until the client is ready to add their content.

I did try to exclude the entry using {if no_results} but that still resulted in the same error.

Here is an example of the code i was trying.

{if "{section_3}" != ''}
    {exp:lg_better_meta_pl:entries
        weblog="{section_3}"
        disable="categories|custom_fields|category_fields|customer_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"
        dynamic="off"
        rdf="off"
        status="Top-Level" 
    }
    <url>
        <loc>{site_url}{section_3}/</loc>
        <lastmod>{edit_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
        <changefreq>{change_frequency}</changefreq>
        {priority}</priority>
    </url>
    {/exp:lg_better_meta_pl:entries}
    {exp:lg_better_meta_pl:entries
        weblog="{section_3}"
        disable="categories|custom_fields|category_fields|customer_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"
        dynamic="off"
        rdf="off"
        status="not closed|Top-Level" 
    }
    {if no_results}
    {if:else}
    <url>
        <loc>{site_url}{section_3}/{url_title}</loc>
        <lastmod>{edit_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
        <changefreq>{change_frequency}</changefreq>
        {priority}</priority>
    </url>
    {/if}
    {/exp:lg_better_meta_pl:entries}
{/if}

The fix was to make sure each weblog had 1 top-level status entry and one regular open entry

Hope that helps some people from scratching their heads as long as i did.

I am using EE 1.6.8 and LG Better Meta 1.8.0

I’m wondering if this fix will be applied and distributed soon? As a commercial customer of LG Better Meta, it sure would be great.
