Metadata in CGBlog module

[Ektos.Elenchu]

Hello all,

I`m trying to run this http://smarty.incutio.com/?page=BlockHeadPlugin plugin with CMS MS ver. 1.6.6 to have possibility to attach metadata such as keywords etc. to posts made by CGBlog module. I`m lets say intermediate at html + css, but very newbie in things such as php and smarty so I can`t make it work. I`m playing two months with CMS MS and everything seems to be very intuitive, except of this.

Is there somebody who can tell me step-by-step how to make it work? I just understood that i must copy-paste the first code into the file named "block.head.php" and the second one into "outputfilter.move_to_head.php" and upload these files into smarty plugins directory. But absolutely don`t know, where to paste the piece of code from the "usage" section.

Exactly this one:

Code: Select all

$template = new Smarty();
// do stuff
$template->load_filter('output', 'move_to_head');
// do stuff
$template->display($filename);

I tried to paste it anywhere, but got only some error in "lib/smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1113", or only text @@@SMARTY:HEAD:BEGIN@@@ "something" @@@SMARTY:HEAD:END@@@ on the top of the page, or simply nothing hapend, but there was still nothing added before

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks a lot

There are other ways to do it. Because the body is processed first you can assign the Metadata variables in the CGBlog template either from custom fields to from other sources. Then in your main template add an {if} condition to output the metadata if the variables are set.

{if $blog_metadata}

{/if}

As i wrote, I am very newbie to Php and Smarty. So i spent almost 2 hours searching what and where to do But finally it works  Thanks for your reply. When i post my question, it was 3.00 am so it wasn't good time for thinking, that there may be any easier possibility, than fighting with plugins 

Once more Thanks a lot!
