LG Better Meta 1.4.0 - NEW RELEASE!

I installed it.

DO I have to make any changes to the Meta fields of each template, or does this extension automatically overide meta description/keywords that are present in the parent weblog template?

This is all brand new to me so please bear with me.

LG Better Meta allows you to create default meta using the extension settings. You then have the option to add custom values in the Better Meta tab.

If you add values in the tab they will be used, else the default values will be used.

Wrong forum… taken to PM

Hey Leevi,

I installed this extension and it worked great for a few days…and then we didn’t touch it since and now we want to edit some meta data or add new articles and when we click on the “Better Meta” tab nothing shows up.

I downloaded a fresh install of the extension and then re-uploaded it and that didn’t seem to fix it. I also never touched any parts of the back-end of EE or of the extension.

Any suggestions?

And when I say, “Not showing up” I mean,

When we click the tab “Better Meta” its supposed to show us the fields - but it doesn’t change the screen at all.

Infact, the entire “tabs” bar disappears.

Hey Mat,

Which other extensions do you have installed?

Tag Submit (v.2.0.7) Edit Tab AJAX (v.1.2.1) Sitemap Pinger (v.1.1) Add Sitename (v.1.1.4) LG Better Meta (v.1.4.0)

I found which one was causing the problem: Sitemap Pinger (v.1.1)

When I disabled it, Better Meta worked fine.

Yeah I have buzzed the developer and left a comment on his blog… Yet there has been no fixed released. I suggest you comment on his blog as well and add a little more pressure 😊

Oh okay, thanks again Leevi!

Leevi,

It appears LG Better Meta and Restricted entries don’t play well together. When I enable Better Meta and create or edit an entry - the groups tab (restricted entries) doesn’t function properly. If you click the Groups tab, it disappears. You have to refresh the page it comes back. If I disable the LG Better meta tool, restricted entries works again.

Hey the Rooster,

Can you send me the url of the “Restricted Module”? I’m guessing the developer is not checking to see if anyone else is using the same extension.

Hey hey….

Ok this one was my fault :(

Heres the quick fix….

Line 508 should be:

$ret .= "<!-- Start LG Better Meta Tab -->";

Notice the . (period) I’ll prepare a new version and try and get it up today.

Thanks for spotting this one!

Full apologies for assuming 😊

This has now been fixed… Grab 1.4.2 from the LG Better Meta documentation page.
