LG Better Meta v1.4.0 - Bug fixes and source code comments

Thanks for the examples, that makes a lot more sense now.

LG Better Meta was the first extension I documented so it probably needs some reworking. Glad to help

I had LG Better Meta 1.3 working on 1.6.1, but I believe I disabled it at one point, now I cannot get the tab to show again in the post window. I tried reinstalling it again and did not solve the problem.

Any ideas what would be causing this?

Ahh, I forgot about that weblog_id!

Thanks,

Try disabling other extension, maybe one is conflicting, and check if you have the proper weblog_id filled in, in the extension settings.

Always on the ball Victor

I found a very strange bug with Better Meta, so I am glad you stepped in.

When you access a weblog entry from the PAGES tab (if you add that to your main tabs) and click on the Better Meta tab inside the entry, the tabs disappear and the better meta content does not show up. If you click on EDIT and find the page you want to edit, it works fine.

If this isn’t clear, let me know.

I’m also not having much luck overriding the defaults. I have the following block but it always displays the defaults from the extension settings, I even just tried the tag without parameters.

{exp:lg_better_meta
    entry_id="{embed:entry_id}"
    weblog_id="{embed:weblog_id}"
    url_title="{embed:url_title}"
    title="{embed:title}"
    description="{embed:description}"
    keywords="{embed:keywords}"
    author="{embed:author}"
    publisher="{embed:publisher}"
    rights="{embed:rights}"
    date_created="{embed:date_created}"
    date_modified="{embed:date_modified}"
    date_valid="{embed:date_valid}"
    identifier="{embed:identifier}"
    robots_index="{embed:robots_index}"
    robots_follow="{embed:robots_follow}"
    robots_archive="{embed:robots_archive}"
  }

    robots_index="{embed:robots_index}"
    robots_follow="{embed:robots_follow}"
    robots_archive="{embed:robots_archive}"
  }

It took me a while to figure this out 😛 I think this is what you need to do:

In your Header template, use :

{exp:lg_better_meta
        entry_id="{embed:entry_id}"
        weblog_id="{embed:weblog_id}"
        url_title="{embed:url_title}"
        title="{embed:title}"
        description="{embed:description}"
        keywords="{embed:keywords}"
        author="{embed:author}"
        publisher="{embed:publisher}"
        rights="{embed:rights}"
        date_created="{embed:date_created}"
        date_modified="{embed:date_modified}"
        date_valid="{embed:date_valid}"
        identifier="{embed:identifier}"
        robots_index="{embed:robots_index}"
        robots_follow="{embed:robots_follow}"
        robots_archive="{embed:robots_archive}"
    }

Then in any other templates where you use

{embed="includes/header"}

Change it like the one below

{embed="includes/header" title="{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news"}{title}{/exp:weblog:entries}"}

Not sure if I’m allowed to post this kinda stuff in the forums… I’m sure I’ll find out very soon but…..

As you may or may not know my beloved Newcastle Jets FC just won the national league so to celebrate…

I have reduced the price of LG Better Meta to $19.95 for the next couple of days until the beers wear off.

Go you Jets!

See you in the Asian Champions League!

I’ve some weird issue with LG Better Meta : everything works fine except that all single quote does output like that :

Somebody could help please ?

For sure I don’t want that, but it seems that html entities aren’t parsed into my browser (Firefox 3, Mac OS X 10.5), in the meta tags, but also in the title tag.

Which version of LG Better Meta are you using?

I tried to figure this out a while ago and couldn’t - I also read Mark Bowens explanation, but lightbulbs are still not going off for me.

Are there any tutorials with screenshots? Actually if Ryan made a screencast for this module I’d buy it. Right now forms are pretty much my stumbling block with EE and design.

Check out the documentation for usage. I added 5 new examples yesterday that should put you in the right direction.
