Change metadescription per page

[Jesh]

I'd like to change the meta description per page to something along the lines of:

"View image of <imagetitle> from <category names> here."

Basically, I know which fields to use, just need to know which template to edit, or the general location of where to edit it. Currently all my descriptions for all my gallery pages just say: "Coin collecting forums and articles along with images of world coins, banknotes, postal orders, and other numismatic topics." which is being pulled from vBulletin.

In other sections the description might read something along the line of: "View <imagecount> images of coins from <country>".

Any help would be great.

A little note, I noticed that the description should be reading:

$theader = str_replace( "{ppheader}", "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"See {$titlereplace} on our {$Globals['galleryname']} gallery. {$titlereplace}\" />$nocachetag $headtags $javapopup $headslide $ajaxcode $rsslink", $theader);

But it keeps getting overridden by my forums meta description... it's vBulletin 4, Photopost 7.

Any ideas?

YOU SHOULD INDEED HAVE A META DESCRIPTION TAG

It should read the photo title

I see this

Content visible to verified customers only.

we add the photo name to the keywords and the photo description to the description meta in vb4

Yeah I see that, but it isn't working on my site. Any ideas where it's getting messed up?

It should simply if your using clean files add the title and description if there is one to the tags.

I really cant say without looking at your site.

Nothing was changed, I'm using the original install files. If you go here you'll see the meta description is not being updated:

Hong Kong 1986 50 Pence postal order. - Coin, Banknote, and Postal Order Images

[Chuck S]

Jesh I am using default files and my link is how things work. Basically if you have a title and description it is passed to the header.

You can send site info or try reuploading files if you wish. Especially pp-inc.php and showphoto.php as I do see your have made some file mods there.

[Jesh]

I tried all the default files and it's the same results.

The only thing I see that is different is you aren't running vB4. I am wondering if it is because it's pulling the vb4 headers

[Jesh]

Here is the problem. It's using both header from vb4 and it's own header. Your site actually does it too, there are two meta descriptions... view either source and search for meta name="description" and you'll see what I mean.

[Chuck S]

Actually there is a second meta description it looks like yes part of the ppheader.

The meta keywords I am taking about and the meta description I am talking about vbulletins and my site clearly shows photopost is placing a photo title and description in the vb meta tags.

I have no idea why you say I am not running vbulletin 4. I am running vb4 quite noticeably. It is the default vb4 suite and style.

As noted if you continue to have issues you can sent us site into through the contact us link in the header.

Right I understand what you are saying... the thing is, a header can't have two meta descriptions in it. Any idea why I am getting the vbulletin header and your header mixed together and how to fix it?

[Chuck S]

As stated feel free to send site information through the contact us link. I beleive still in question is your meta tags dont operate like mine.

[Jesh]

Sent.

[Chuck S]

No problem will email you if I need anything else.

[Jesh]

Any luck with this one?

[Chuck S]

At last response I had been waiting for you to send ftp info as I had emailed you. Last time I checked which was last night there was no response. Did you send ftp info so I could look at your files?

[Jesh]

weird didn't get an email, will send ftp info over.

[Chuck S]

Not a problem I sent it to the jesh email you sent us the email from weird.

[Jesh]

Chuck,

I noticed this is working now. Could you let me know what was changed and/or incorrect?

[Chuck S]

Jesh I simply modified some lines in the printheader function in pp-inc.php and I sent you a note saying it was fixed not sure if you got it since your replying here.
