[archive] phpBB SEO Dynamic Meta Tags

dcz

And welcome Very Happy

Actually, it's a good idea, but there would be a problem with html posted in forum description, as we only can use plain text in meta tags.

So this would require to filter all html tags additionally.

I'll see what's doable for next version Wink

Looks a lot like the one i converted Wink

I've been trying to get it to work with the album, like getting the category and pic title in the description.
Any ideas?

And Welcome sir Wink

Then, I don't know about your mod, but what I know is there are not a hundred ways to query for some useful info in this case.

As said in the install, I took this one as a starting base and mostly added category support so far.

Anyway, meta tags are not as important as they use to.
The main interest is to have dynamic Meta's here, because overall, it's still a bit of a plus to show related description and keywords. Better than nothing I'd say here Wink

Then, for the album, is it smartor's ?

Hello

I dont understand the instructions.

" If you use the phpbbstyle.com sql cache system, just look for //SQL CACHE and
# uncomment (and comment) the proper lines
# Also, make sure you change FEW_MORE_KEYWORDS_COMA_SEPARATED, YOUR_DEFAUT_DESCRITPION,
# YOUR_DEFAULT_KEYWORDS_COMA_SEPARATED, YOUR_AUTHOR_INFOS & YOUR_COPYRIGHT_INFOS with the proper infos.
# Note : YOUR_AUTHOR_INFOS & YOUR_COPYRIGHT_INFOS lines are commented by default, because it is not
# needed in most cases. Uncomment the proper lines if you want those to be outputted as well."

I am supposed to replace YOUR_DEFAULT_KEYWORDS_COMA_SEPARATED
with 20 ketwords?

and replace YOUR_DEFAUT_DESCRITPION
with a short description?

and FEW_MORE_KEYWORDS_COMA_SEPARATED
replace with what? smore mopre keywords? other than already used? and how many?

sorry im a little confused here. After installing this mod the meta tags for a corvette cars post will be corvette relate tags for example? or simply random tags? but random inside the post? or totaly random inside the search tables.

Can you please give to me a little better explanation of how this mod works? what it does? Wich are the advantages of that?

Hi i nstall the mod but have some troubles. In sorce code of my post we can see:

<meta name="description" lang="en" content="Tupincho.net - Foros de discusión :: Esteroides anabólicos y otros compuestos :: Esteroides anabólicos y otros compuestos (Ciclos, orales y/o inyectables) :: Ayuda, primer ciclo Deca, Dianabol. Comentarios, Correccione" />

The phrase Esteroides anabólicos y otros compuestos :: is repeated. And correspond to the variable $meta_row['cat_title']

Its also happening at index, categories and posts.

What do you recomend? remove that variable of my code?

By now i coment the variable in order to avoid it. but do you recomend other thing?

dcz

I think this is the $board_config['sitename'] instead.

You can of course play with the info and variables orders Wink

ive already done it. You can check when have time.

I am not sure to understand, if you want to prevent $board_config['sitename'] to be outputted, just delete it in the code (with the following "::") Wink

Yes i solved that part. Now my meta tags are not accurately at all. I include 265 words in the .txt file at language folder and rebild my search. I think i have to include more words, and numbers, meta tags shows a lot of numbers.

My search tables goes from 110 mb to 74 mb. Probably i have to filter the keyword one more time or two more times.

dcz

And it's a really good thing to clean your search table, you'll win page load time while narrowing your keywords Wink

Take your time to do so, as the main interest of dynamic meta tags is to be dynamic, it's just a really great occasion to take car about your search tables to seek better keywords for topics Very Happy
