On the article submit page of my site, there is a section to add keywords, but it seems to me that they are not used anywhere...not in the meta tags and not on the article page as a list of keywords to use with the article.

Am I missing some code for either of these....if not, is there someone (:) Dejavu?) who could supply the code to use the keywords ( as well as the summery ) in the article pages meta tags ( meta keyword and meta description) or how to incorperate the keywords onto the article page as suggested keywords to use with the article....Preferably both.

you bring up a good point. a quick experiment shows us that the search feature doesnt use anything typed in the keywords feild. is this something just left over from a past method of searching?

Figured out a way to get keyword and description meta tags in article pages

paste this code in between the <head>  </haed> on your header template
Code:
<META name="keywords" content="$Article->keywords">
<META name="description" content="$Article->summary">


you will probably have to add text to the submit article page to tell the people adding articles that the summary will be used as a meta description tag so to limit the length to about 150 characters.

This adds the tags to the other pages(category,latest articles,home page,etc),but no content

If I create a seperate header template for the article pages, how would I go about using it instead of the default header?



Any idea how to add meta tags to the home page?
Also <title> tag not showing on home page?

Here's how I overcame the problem:

Between the <head> tags of the Header template insert this:
Code:
{if $this->ishome}
  <meta name="keywords" content="article, articles, article directory, content, free content, free">
  <meta name="description" content="Your Site is a directory of quality articles, free to use in your newsletter or website.">
{/if}
{if $this->iscategory}
  <meta name="keywords" content="{$Category->title} articles, {$Category->title} article directory">
  <meta name="description" content="Free articles about {$Category->title}.">
{/if}
{if $this->isarticle}
  <meta name="keywords" content="{$articlekeywords}">
  <meta name="description" content="{$articlesummary}">
{/if}


In the php section of the Header template insert this:
Code:
if ($Article->summary){
    $articlesummary = substr(strip_tags($Article->summary),0,150);
}
else{
    $articlesummary = substr(strip_tags($Article->text),0,150);
}

if ($Article->keywords) {
    $articlekeywords = $Article->keywords;
} else {
    $articlekeywords = $Category->title;
}


In the php section of the Homepage template insert this:
Code:
$this->ishome = 1;


In the php section of the Category template insert this:
Code:
$this->iscategory = 1;


In the php section of the Article template insert this:
Code:
$this->isarticle = 1;


By testing the variables in the different templates the Header template knows where it is and can put in appropriate tags. Obviously, edit the 3 metatag definitions in the if statements to suit your needs and your site. This method can also be used to trigger actions in any of the universal blocks. Hope this helps.

This needs to be pinned possibly?

Or perhaps a new forum with FAQ pages that are read only?

I was going to sieve through this forum and extract posts such as this one that outline a solution to the most FAQ about articleMS customisation. However, I barely get any time to do stuff nowadays as busy balancing a couple of internet projects along with full time working hours (to christmas) and attending a course - so haven't had the time to put it together.

Though FAQ section would be ideal to resolve many queries and hopefully prevent the same questions being asked many times over and the solutions getting buried out of sight after a while.

Excellent solution Nick..Thanks!

Latona > An FAQ for cusomization is also an excellent idea. Why not use ArticleMS itself to allow certain people the rights to post "Solution Articles" for people to search / view by categories?. Solutions from the support forum can be submitted ... they're read only AND joe user could rate the solution too!

;)
