I am using Joomla 1.5.9 version and your extension works but has some issues. If you can have a look on these findings, it would be great.

Unless I create meta tags in an down to top hierarchy of page levels I am not able to get desired meta tags for each page. This is very difficult when site is big.

Example:

www.site.com/category/article-1.html
www.site.com/category/article-2.html
www.site.com/category/article-3.html
www.site.com/category/

www.site.com/category2/article-1.html
www.site.com/category2/article-2.html
www.site.com/category2/article-3.html
www.site.com/category2/

Now when Iam adding new article to category or category 2 I have to meta tag of new article under the order of previously written article. If Iam not maintaing a order it will take meta of category level.

Also it would be nice if writing meta feature is provided by side of article.

Since release 1.1 of Tag Meta, you can use regular expression to better match your pages. For yours examples this is how you can match each URIs:

For:
www.site.com/category/article-1.html
URI to match is:
/category/article-1.html

For:
www.site.com/category/article-2.html
URI to match is:
/category/article-2.html

For:
www.site.com/category/article-3.html
URI to match is:
/category/article-3.html

And for:
www.site.com/category/
URI to match is:
/category/*$ (means address ends with /category or with /category/)

There is no needs to put the www.site.com inside. You can also use other regexp facilities to match more than one page at time if these share the same meta tags. For example:

www.site.com/category2/article-1.html
www.site.com/category2/article-2.html
www.site.com/category2/article-3.html

All of three pages are matched by this entry:
/category2/article-[1,2,3].html

Thanks for your suggestions. Improvements are planned and I add yours in my list.

Enjoy Tag Meta,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Iam using the latest version of meta tag and I understand the use of regular expression.

But actually I was trying to draw your attention to some different kind of problem.
Let me explain this once again.

For example- Here is a hierarchical order that is maintained in tag meta manager under admin panel of joomla, for having unique meta tags.

/category1/article1 [order 1]
/category1/article2 [order 2]
/category1/article3 [order 3]
/category1 [order 4]


/category2/article1 [order 5]
/category2/article2 [order 6]
/category2/article3 [order 7]
/category2 [order 8]

Now the problem is when I write new article for category1, by default newly written meta tag will be added to the last order i.e. order 9 just below /category2 in tag meta manager. Therefore what happens is now it takes the meta of category1 and not what we had written.

I am fixing this problem at the moment by assigning new article an order which is above the category1 order.

Hope you got my point.

Appreciate your help on this.

First solution as I said, if you replace:

/category1 [order 4]

With:
/category1/*$ [order 4]

The new article doesn't take the meta tag of category1 just because its URL doesn't match with /category1/*$ (and if you understand regexp you know why).

Second thing. In tag meta you can order your entries and they are scanned in the order you choose, so that just the first one that match URL is applied. So you have another possibility, for example, to move your new article just before /category1.

Finally, I saw your review and your low rating on JED. I think everyone can think as they like, but is not correct to judge before having an answer. So despite this answer is good or not for you, please, forget Tag Meta. I'm sure you will find a better component for your specific needs.

Hi,

Thanks for the prompt replies.

I am working around ways to manage it. I will update you the new results.

I know what is takes you guys to create this extension. Regarding the rating it was on the basis of overall factors and I have not quoted the rating as bad, I had given 3 out of 5.

This is a very good extension and we have a team people who do value your efforts. We are just putting up our findings and trying to manage things.

Hi,

Now, everything is working fine as expected. This is awesome.

Since we feel that earlier rating and review would not be fair enough after arriving with our current findings. So we had already requested at joomla extension to allow us to write fresh rating for this.

I am sure everything is here, users don't need to go anywhere for other component.

Thanks for all,
take a look at ReDJ too. It allows you to create URL alias and URL redirect (for example, for missing old Google pages) in a fast way.
