LG Better Meta 1.7.x - Now with sitemap meta and generator! - Official Support Thread

I seem to not be receiving notifications about responses to this thread. Thank you Leevi for your answer. I ultimately came up with the solution you suggest here. I’m now running into an issue where “apostrophes” and “ampersands” are creating validation warnings within my meta tag data for the title, description, as well as keywords. I’ve read through this thread and don’t really see this issue being addressed. Currently I’m using charset=utf-8. I can circumvent these warnings by encoding these characters but with this being in my meta data I’m not sure this won’t have a negative effect. At the very least encoding characters eats up the limited character count some of these fields enforce. We’re needing to have the ability to ad keywords like “men’s”, “women’s”, etc. Is there a way to accommodate this without needing to encode my “apostrophes”? Or maybe there is a reason why I shouldn’t be including these? Thank you.

I noticed that this was the same issue I was having, in order to fix the problem, I had to write in the Better Meta Description “you will” instead of “you’ll”, the apostrophe was causing a problem here.

Mr. Graham when will you give a proper answer and fix to your paid customers?

I would encourage you to send him a PM. I’m surprised he hasn’t responded here, but there’s a chance his subscriptions are screwed up and he doesn’t know there are posts here.

I have, he even asked me to send him the post number so he could reply

Just an FYI:

I just installed LG Better Meta 1.8.0 Commercial. I was following the directions to use this tag in the header:

{exp:lg_better_meta_pi:template}

However, I was getting the error:

The following tag has a syntax error:
{exp:lg_better_meta_pi:template}
Please correct the syntax in your template.

Turns out the file that was in the zip install package was named lg_better_meta_pl (note that is PL not PI). So I changed my tag to

{exp:lg_better_meta_pl:template}

and it worked just fine.

p.s. AND if I had more carefully read the documentation I would have seen the plugin name had changed and was documented as such :)

Okay, I’m back with a request for help.

I was editing the meta title value for a weblog entry. When I tried to save the entry I received this error:

MySQL ERROR:

Error Number: 1054

Description: Unknown column 'append_default_keywords' in 'field list'

Query: INSERT INTO `exp_lg_better_meta` (`title`, `description`, `keywords`, `entry_id`, `url_title`, `weblog_id`, `append_default_keywords`) VALUES ('Denver Colorado', '', '', '187', 'home-page', '6', '')

I guess that means some things are missing from mySQL database. I don’t know why this happened or how to correct it. Any suggestions? Your help is appreciated.
