Custom Meta Tags.

How to enable customized Meta Tags for PhotoPost ?
like a proper description and proper keywords ?

I would like to see the title of photo first in keywords and descriptions.

If you check our site index on google here:
http://www.google.co.in/search?num=5...G=Search&meta=

Note the indexing descriptions.

You can add a headtags file with some extra meta tags

<Meta Keywords = title of photo + keywords in photo + keywords used for photopost gallery)

<Meta descritption = title of photo + description in photo + descritption used for photopost gallery)

Do you know how to add a meta tag? This is quite simple

<meta name="keywords" content="$title,$keywords" />
<meta name="description" content="$description" />

added headtags.htm as well following code into it:
<meta name="keywords" content="$title,$keywords" />
<meta name="description" content="$description" />


but its not working, instead i am able to see the above code as it is, in the page source ?

[Chuck S]

Well you'll probally need to make your headtags file a php file and do something like this

<?

if ( THIS_SCRIPT == "showphoto" ) {

echo <<<PPPRINT

<meta name="keywords" content="$title,$keywords" />
<meta name="description" content="$description" />

PPPRINT;

}

?>

still wont work with above code

Open showphoto and and grab the variables and replace my examples with the proper ones. My posts are guidelines to follow not the hack. Remember this is a how do I forum not write me a hack forum

I am sorry, i am unable to understand this.. i tried to add meta content to showphoto.php, but still wont work..

How about working more on meta content in future release of photopost ? for better search engine visibility ?
Yahoo likes more meta content as well google ? for images with same titles etc. (my thery expierence)

My posts are guidelines to follow not the hack. Remember this is a how do I forum not write me a hack forum

since the photopost developer forum is closed i am left only with this place.

Hey omegraton,
thats simply wonderful, i will appreciate if this feature is incorporated on priority in the new version/release of photopost.. I am waiting eagerly for same..

Importance - It is quite important cause text based publishing networks as well many other serps ignore photos without meta content.

Regards,

Yes, I've been frustrated with this too. I've tried changing the code to avail. What is it that is stopping this from functioning? I think the header needs to be recoded to allow these variables to work.

Thanks for your attention.

Hi Chuck
I've got the same problem as SaN-Deep but in reviewpost. I'm going to turn headtags.htm to headtags.php
Which file should i open instead of "showphoto" to grab the variables?
Thank you

[Chuck S]

showproduct.php

This is what i've got:
headtags.php
CHMOD: 666
Path: /home/username/public_html/reviews/headtags.php
fine so far...

headtags.php :
<?

if ( THIS_SCRIPT == "showproduct" ) {

echo <<<PPPRINT

<meta name="keywords" content="$title,$keywords" />
<meta name="description" content="$description" />

PPPRINT;

}

?>

On the top left side of index appears : PPPRINT; } ?>
and in view source the whole (headtags.php) code above.
I could really do with some help on which variables i need to grab.
Thank you ver much

As this thread says it can not be done this way. Try searching in the mod forum as I think Garrynz posted something on this

Has this type of mod ever been figured out by anyone? I see this thread is a couple of years old.
