LG Better Meta 1.4.0 - NEW RELEASE!

Unfortunately it seems the only way around this is to use the actual character rather than its html entity :( I think that will upset page validation for some people.

Ok this is fixed but only in the new 1.5.0 commercial release that now supports MSM - Multi Site Manager.. Grab it while its hot

Im having problems getting the extension tab to appear. I can mess with the extension settings but i dont know what im doing wrong. I have 1.6.2 of ee installed. I tried disabling all the other extensions but no luck. The only extension i cant turn off is fresh variable which i cant turn off for some reason.

nvm i got the extension to work.

Now I cant get the entry meta information to display correctly in the html source. For some reason Im getting the site’s meta info.

I’m having the same problem as Wired.

Purchased and installed the commercial version. Settings all look good and the HTML rendered uses the extension settings just fine…but it doesn’t take into account what I’ve entered in the Better Meta tag on individual entries:

• The Title only shows the site title, it doesn’t add the entry title
• The description and keywords displays what’s in the extension settings, not what I put in the individual entries.

Any ideas if I’m doing something wrong?

He emailed me and said to check out the document. I still haven’t got the slightest clue. For some reason I can get the exact entry using enry_id parameter. I tried using segment as a value but no luck. I hope that helps openmotive.

Hey openmotive, try using segment as a value for the entry_id parameter. Also it would help if you use embed a different template for those specific entries you wish to publish. Hope that helps.

Just ain’t workin.

Leevi, I’m using the commercial version of Better Meta. In order to make sure it’s not an embeeded template issue I’m currently calling it in the main page template per the instructions. The only caveat I can think of: I’m using Mark Huot’s Tome.

When the page renders, no matter what has been entered for the entry itself, the global meta tags get used. Is it possible this is a conflict with Tome?

Hey guys,

Sorry I didn’t get these for some reason I’m not subscribed to this thread.

If you are going to use a segment you must use the url_title parameter. Its always best to add the site_id param as well for faster mysql lookup.

Have you created a single template with nothing but the {exp:lg_better_meta} tag? If not create one and start hard coding some url titles into the tag to test the output.

Cheers Leevi

Hi Leevi

I just found a bug in your module code, the robots_follow parameter does not behave as expected:

if($TMPL->fetch_param('robots_follow'))
{
    $robots['follow'] = $TMPL->fetch_param('robots_archive');
}

should be

if($TMPL->fetch_param('robots_follow'))
{
    $robots['follow'] = $TMPL->fetch_param('robots_follow');
}

in pi.lg_better_meta.php on the line 305.

Thanks for spotting that… its already checked into the next release 😊

Hi Leevi,

Don’t know if it’s just me or not but I was just working on a site today and noticed that where I should have my Title field when I go to publish a new entry in a weblog the name of the field is now Site title. I actually don’t have this weblog set as one of the weblogs set to be using Better Meta and so I wouldn’t have expected it to do that and in fact is it meant to do that at all?

Screenshot attached to show what I mean.

Best wishes,

Mark

Hiya Leevi,

One other very minute thing I noticed was that in the rendered source code you have Expression Engine instead of ExpressionEngine 😉

Just wondering if you had any ideas about the Site title bit yet though?

Thanks matey!!

Best wishes,

Mark
