One of things that is unpolished in the typical off-the-shelf distro is language, so getting a site to look right in multiple languages is a challenge to say the least and the meta tags are almost always forgotten. Maybe this is important; maybe not but, unless you've taken some measures, the meta tags in a typical PN site aren't going to be multilingual. Your slogan, keywords, title, and description will always be the same even when content is in a different language. Is this a problem? I'll leave that debate for others. In the meantime, I can see where your enhanced dynamic keywords will be useful. Thanks, Slugger Oh, and for anyone who cares and all you pefectionists who hack your theme templates once a year to update the copyright tag, here's my solution to change your description and always keep your copyright notice current. I changed these meta tags in my templates: Code <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<!--[lang]-->" > <meta name="description" content="<!--[slogan]-->" /> <meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (c) XXXX by <!--[sitename]-->" /> To: Code <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<!---[ pnml name='_RFC3066LANG' ]-->" > <meta name="description" content="<!--[ pnml name='_SITEDESCRIPTION' ]-->" /> <meta name="copyright" content="<!--[ pnml name='_COPYRIGHT' ]-->" /> Then, in themes/mytheme/lang/anylanguage/global.php, I added: Code define('_RFC3066LANG', 'the RFC 3066 code for that language'); define('_SITEDESCRIPTION','The description in that language'); define('_COPYRIGHT','Copyright (c) YEAR1-'.date('Y').' by Me'); Oh...and I forgot to add. Make sure and replace special characters, if any, in the above definitions with their HTML entity or your site will not validate. Slugger

Slugger Professional Posts: 1185 Posted: 17.Mar 2006 - 06:39	It's probably worth pointing out that one must insert Code <meta name="keywords" content="<!--[keywords]-->" /> and not Code <meta name="keywords" content="<!--[$keywords]-->" /> as written in the read me doc included with the hack. Also, it will require fine tuning. I got "read the full article", "–", "edit", "delete", "Comments 0", and some other non- "keywords". Easy enough to fix by adding these to your common word list (commonword.php) but anyone trying this must remember to tweak it to make it work right. Slugger
wheatcom Registered User Posts: 1 Posted: 25.Mar 2006 - 00:59	Well, I must be doing something wrong. Two things are not happening. The preferred keywords I entered in Admin/Settings are not showing up. And the keyords for my index page show as " , ". For all pages except the index page, the keywords generated from page text are there. The templates all appear to have the correct setting. I'm using 7.62 with an Xanthia theme. Thanks for any help.

Oh, and for anyone who cares and all you pefectionists who hack your theme templates once a year to update the copyright tag, here's my solution to change your description and always keep your copyright notice current.

I changed these meta tags in my templates:

Code

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<!--[lang]-->" >
<meta name="description" content="<!--[slogan]-->" />
<meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (c) XXXX by <!--[sitename]-->" />

To:

Code

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="<!---[ pnml name='_RFC3066LANG' ]-->" >
<meta name="description" content="<!--[ pnml name='_SITEDESCRIPTION' ]-->" />
<meta name="copyright" content="<!--[ pnml name='_COPYRIGHT' ]-->" />

Then, in themes/mytheme/lang/anylanguage/global.php, I added:

Code

define('_RFC3066LANG', 'the RFC 3066 code for that language');
define('_SITEDESCRIPTION','The description in that language');
define('_COPYRIGHT','Copyright (c) YEAR1-'.date('Y').' by Me');

Oh...and I forgot to add. Make sure and replace special characters, if any, in the above definitions with their HTML entity or your site will not validate.
