Hi,
This is for Snitz 3.4+
As most of you know there is only one meta tag in the snitz forum or in the inc_header.asp. I have now written a back end MOD which will give you more meta tags which will be stored in a table. These meta tags then will be stored in a seperate asp file which is then added into the inc_header.asp with an <!--#include code.
The following meta tags can be set up:
- Keywords
- Description
- Author
- Expires
- Rating
- Language
- and more
You will need to be able to use FileSystemObject. This script will not work for UNIX!
The new file which stores then the static meta tags looks like this when opened:
<meta name="author" content="Robert Grund">
<meta name="distribution" content="global">
<meta name="keywords" content="meta">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="2 weeks">
<meta name="description" content="Snitz forum or portal">
<meta name="copyright" content="Robert Grund">
<meta http-equiv="expires" content="Sun, 2 Mar 2003 18:04:00 +01:00">
<meta name="robots" content="all">
<meta name="rating" content="general">
<meta http-equiv="Imagetoolbar" content="no">
I found it easy to install and hope that you will enjoy it.
please follow the readme instructions.

Slide,
as you know I am using SH and my test forum (portal) is SH!
Please note this is a back end mod and the user will not see anything of this mod. this is really intended for search engines!! and to increase traffic!

| Can't see the point in this mod, for a start it doesn't work after following the instructions, just got loads of empty recordset errors in the admin pages, and doesn't it have to use FSO on every page!!, why can't the values be stored in a database?? |

Hi DavidRhodes,
1st: the values are stored in a database
2nd: show me what youhave done, as i have installed this now several times and also others as well with no problem
3rd: No, the FSO is only run when you have amended the enties in the db! The reasonwhy one needs the DB is to generate a txt file which takes up less loading time then running a query every time a new page is called up. Optimizing the resources!!
So tell me what you have done and post it here. I will then help you out!

| rgrund, I loaded this mod in about 5 minutes and except for a change in the text field to nvarchar for SQL Server, it ran right away. Be careful if you run over the 200 word description tag as it will throw a truncation error and you will lose the input and have to start over. |

thanks djjbiz! Will look into this with the 200 words. I have build in an error catcher or as you put it a truncation error! I will have to see why the entries are gone.

just curious but should the meta tags be visible through the view>>source>> file? if so I added the code and stuff (www.discussstuff.com) and can't see them there, thought it does say "user will not see anything of this mod" just curious  |

The meta should be visable when you look into the source! Users will not take so much efford to look into the code!
WHat I ment with "user will not seeanything of this mod": He will be involved generating these like other MODS nor will call any pages up for this MOD! It is just a simple Back End MOD!

oh, then I did something wrong, I set it to store the info in the database and everything installed fine, no errors reported but when checking view>>source>> only the default meta tag is there, that is the one that snitz has there by default. Any clue as to what i prolly did wrong?

do you have the <!--#INCLUDE FILE="MetaTag.asp" --> in the inc_header? and did you also click on the left command of the button called "Make meta tag file" in the admin section in the Meta Tag menu?

I had the same problem, there is actually 2 places that the inc_metafile file can go
__________________________________________________
one place is in this area of inc_header approx line 95
___________________________________________________
If strDBType = "" then
Response.Write "<html>" & vbNewLine & _
"<head>" & vbNewline & _
"<title>" & strForumTitle & "</title>" & vbNewline
'## START - REMOVAL, MODIFICATION OR CIRCUMVENTING THIS CODE WILL VIOLATE THE SNITZ FORUMS 2000 LICENSE AGREEMENT
Response.Write "<meta name=""copyright"" content=""This Forum code is Copyright (C) 2000-02 Michael Anderson, Pierre Gorissen, Huw Reddick and Richard Kinser, Non-Forum Related code is Copyright (C) " & strCopyright & """>" & vbNewline
'## END - REMOVAL, MODIFICATION OR CIRCUMVENTING THIS CODE WILL VIOLATE THE SNITZ FORUMS 2000 LICENSE AGREEMENT
%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="MetaTag.asp" -->
<%
Response.Write "</head>" & vbNewLine & _
"<body" & strTmpPageBGImageURL & " bgColor=""" & strPageBGColor & """ text=""" & strDefaultFontColor & """ link=""" & strLinkColor & """ aLink=""" & strActiveLinkColor & """ vLink=""" & strVisitedLinkColor & """>" & vbNewLine & _
"<table border=""0"" cellspacing=""0"" cellpadding=""5"" width=""50%"" height=""40%"" align=""center"">" & vbNewLine & _
" <tr>" & vbNewLine & _
______________________________________________________
and the other place is int his area of inc_header approx line 247
______________________________________________________
rs.close
set rs = nothing
end if
Response.Write "<html>" & vbNewline & vbNewline & _
"<head>" & vbNewline & _
"<title>" & GetNewTitle(strScriptName) & "</title>" & vbNewline
%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_ipgate.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="MetaTag.asp" -->
