I have gone through and made all of the changes on my site as detailed in the install docs. Everything on the site seems to work, but when I view the source I do not see any meta tags. How do I know if it's working or how do I troubleshoot?

you will if is work when you look on source code and there will see any automatic changes

I'm sorry I don't understand your response. Are you saying that everything will work properly? How will I know for sure?

Thank you for your help.

sorry for my bad english
So i was on your site and propably keyword dont show because you dont have any content.Keyword and other meta tags are extracted from 1. post and but you dont havy any posts there.Or other reason you did somethink bad, look on my site it worlk good

I do have one post for testing purposes at This Link. Still no meta tags showing in source.

There was one step in the installation that I think may be an issue.

This is an excert from includes/functions.php

Code: Select all

   function seo_meta_tags() {
      global $config;
      $this->meta['meta_tpl'] =  '<meta name="title" content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="description" lang="%s" content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="keywords"    content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="category"    content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="robots"      content="%s" />'. "\n" . '<meta name="distribution" content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="resource-type" content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="copyright" content="%s" />';
      // Here you can hard code a static default title, description and keywords
      // As is, the mod will return information based on the phpbb config
      $this->meta['meta_title_def'] = $config['sitename'];
      $this->meta['meta_desc_def'] = $config['site_desc'];
      $this->meta['meta_keywords_def'] = $config['site_desc'];
      $this->meta['meta_lang'] =  $config['default_lang'];
      $this->meta['meta_cat'] =  'general';
      $this->meta['meta_robots'] =  'index,follow';
      $this->meta['meta_distrib'] =  'global';
      $this->meta['meta_restype'] =  'document';
      $this->meta['meta_copy'] =  $config['sitename'];
      return;

The documentation says it should like like this.

Code: Select all

   $seo_meta['meta_title_def'] = $config['sitename'];
   $seo_meta['meta_desc_def'] = $config['site_desc'];
   $seo_meta['meta_keywords_def'] =  $config['site_desc'];
   $seo_meta['meta_lang'] =  $config['default_lang'];
   $seo_meta['meta_cat'] =  'general';
   $seo_meta['meta_robots'] =  'index,follow';
   $seo_meta['meta_distrib'] =  'global';
   $seo_meta['meta_restype'] =  'document';
   $seo_meta['meta_copy'] =  $config['sitename'];


Could this be an issue?

Please, do not use fake signature.

Then, the install file tells you will find this code to explain how you could alter the default settings. It's not the full mod's code.

Then, about the meta on your forum's page, they do not show up at all actually, make sure you edited the required template and cleared the cache (all of it).

I have edited everything as instructed in the documentation, as well as cleared the cache. All of the files I modified can be found at www.employerforums.net/files.zip. Can you see what I may have done wrong?

From your online html source code :

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en-gb" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="resource-type" content="document" />
<meta name="distribution" content="global" />
<meta name="copyright" content="2002-2006 phpBB Group" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />

From the overall_header.html you sent :

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="{S_USER_LANG}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
{META_TAG}

It really looks like you either did not uploaded the overall_header.tpl file in the right place or did not actually cleared the cache.

Try deleting all files in the cache/ dir except the .htaccess.

The cache is empty. This is the file I have stored at styles/prosilver/template.

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{S_CONTENT_DIRECTION}" lang="{S_USER_LANG}" xml:lang="{S_USER_LANG}">

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="{S_USER_LANG}" />
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
{META_TAG}
{META}
<title>{SITENAME} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>


Well, the code is correct, but unless you configured you forum sitename to "2002-2006 phpBB Group", there is just no way you'll see :

Code: Select all

<meta name="copyright" content="2002-2006 phpBB Group" />

on -www.employerforums.net with this mode installed and cache cleared.

You must be doing something wrong, which most likely will look obvious once you'll have find it.

sorry to be a pain, I don't understand this part. I've got the seo mod installed for phpbb 3.0.0.

When trying to install this, the section below doesn't exist in the includes/functions.php file.

What am I missing here?

Thx in advance.

In in includes/functions.php, you'll find some pretty obvious code you may want to modify upon your needs :

$seo_meta['meta_title_def'] = $config['sitename'];
$seo_meta['meta_desc_def'] = $config['site_desc'];
$seo_meta['meta_keywords_def'] = $config['site_desc'];
$seo_meta['meta_lang'] = $config['default_lang'];
$seo_meta['meta_cat'] = 'general';
$seo_meta['meta_robots'] = 'index,follow';
$seo_meta['meta_distrib'] = 'global';
$seo_meta['meta_restype'] = 'document';
$seo_meta['meta_copy'] = $config['sitename'];

Never mind, excuse my post. I didn't clear the cache. my bad.

Hey guys, have you sorted out that paypal donation button I can send some money over to you as my sign of thanks for the effort you've put into your work?

Cheers.

Happy you made it in the end

I'm not sure what I did differently this time, but I cleared the cache again and everything worked properly. Thank you for your help!
