Meta Tags not working on Homepage 14 Anni fa #1669

Hi there,

I'm a complete newbie to Joomla so please bear with me. I've installed Tag Meta and configured it to add meta tags to the homepage of the site I'm working on: www.firecreative-uk.com

I've used an item matching on ^/$ to match the homepage of the site as suggested in the user guide. However when I view the homepage no title tag, keyword or description tags are added. I have set the Tag Meta plugin as the last one in the list. Whatever I do I can't get any Meta tags to appear on my home page. It may be a problem within the Joomla template itself I don't know as I don't have any experience with Joomla.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
Simon

Tom Offline Fresh Boarder Messaggi: 1	Hi Luigi, I like the idea of your plugin. Obviously I have the same problem as described by Simon before. I already tried several variations of the URI and activated the REDIRECT. Meta-tags remain always the global ones. I suppose a problem with the template as well. URL: www.english-for-children.com Many thanks in advance Tom

Hi,
I have nothing to add to this, your analysis is PERFECT.

Only one suggestion you could try to avoid to modify the wrong code (this is something I hate). You could just try to "prevent" the problem. How?

I found it inside the "S2 framework" used in JReviews.

I don't know if this is a system plugin, but if so, just try to put this as last plugin after Tag Meta (normally Tag Meta should be the last one). Maybe Tag Meta start to work...

Anyway, your trace is perfect, and I hope this could be useful to someone else.

Best regards,
Luigi

Sadly it's not a system plugin. It's part of a content plugin (Jreviews content plugin) so the system ordering isn't going to help.

I also want to experiment a little with the way Tag Meta gets the URL. Instead of getting it direct from the headers, how about getting it from JURI?

$uri = clone(JURI::getInstance());
$currenturi = $uri->_uri;

That's what lots of other things in Joomla use to get it, and I think it will help in this case. This also appears to be unaffected by the JReviews mess.

I'll leave that with you...

By the way I always highly recommend the use of TagMeta on every website I build. I'm going to be giving training to a bunch of webmasters in Belgium next week and this will form part of the SEO presentation, which was why I was testing out the new version today. Thank you so much for making this freely available. It's great to be able to manage all the titles and metadescriptions in one place - and I'm looking forward to experimenting with the Canonical support as well.

Cheers,
Stephen

With regard to my last post: $uri->_uri gives a full URL eg. localhost/j157/ whereas you just want the file path part of it, e.g. /j157/

So you could still use it by stripping the scheme and host from the URL obtained.

There are other methods on the JURI object that should be able to recreate the URL, but I'm always a bit hesitant that I'm going to get back the exact URL if it has been deconstructed and reconstructed...

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi,
since the first version of Tag Meta I used this piece of code to get the current URL:

    if ( ($params->get('redirect', 0) == 1) && ( (isset($_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'])) || (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'])) ) ) {
      $currenturi = (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'])) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_X_REWRITE_URL'] : $_SERVER['REDIRECT_URL'];
    } else {
      $currenturi = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
    }

In this way I can support both IIS and Apache even for rewritten URL, and the code is minimal, I get just what I need. If you take a look at getinstance code, there are a lot more instructions that provide informations I really don't need. So, my choice is just for performance reasons...

This piece of code is executed for each Joomla call, so it should be as fast as possible.

Thanks for your suggestion,
Luigi
