i have searched for a while and cannot find what i am looking for. I have optimal meta tags installed and works good, i need to remove the keywords meta tag completely however. I have removed in index.php but so far no luck on removing. Where is the code that i can take out to remove keywords for index and all other pages. Thanks


EDIT: got it taken care of, found the post i was looking for

Do you still have the link? I've been searching and I can't find it.

Well find,

Code: Select all

return sprintf( $this->meta['meta_tpl'], $this->meta['meta_title'], $this->meta['meta_lang'], $this->meta['meta_desc'], $this->meta['keywords'], $this->meta['meta_cat'], $this->meta['meta_robots'], $this->meta['meta_distrib'], $this->meta['meta_restype'], $this->meta['meta_copy'] );

Replace with

Code: Select all

return sprintf( $this->meta['meta_tpl'], $this->meta['meta_title'], $this->meta['meta_lang'], $this->meta['meta_desc'], $this->meta['meta_cat'], $this->meta['meta_robots'], $this->meta['meta_distrib'], $this->meta['meta_restype'], $this->meta['meta_copy'] );

Find:

Code: Select all

$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" />' . "\n";

Replace with

Code: Select all

$this->meta['meta_tpl'] =  '<meta name="title" content="%s" />' . "\n" . '<meta name="description" lang="%s" 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" />' . "\n";

Thanks for your help!

Is there a possibility to make this a configurable option? Are patches for that sort of thing often accepted?

I ask for two reasons: First, it is a pain to maintain modifications like this when new versions come out. Second, the quality of the keywords on my system are very low (99% irrelevant) and I am worried they will do far more harm than good.

I am tempted to write an apache output filter to nuke the keywords so that I don't have to maintain another patch.

As a matter of fact it could be easier than it seems, I'll think about it for the next version. We could just use ordered variables for sprintf (%1$s etc) and allow some meta cells to be empty so that no hard coding would be required to bypass one tag or the other.
