Custom meta tag "description" in News

zener · Post by **zener** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 11:39 am

Hi, I'm trying to have custom "meta description" tag in CMS Made Simple 2. I have in section this code and it works.

<meta name="Description" content="{description}">

The problem is in News module. There isn't field to fill description tag. So I can't write description.

Any ideas? Thank you!

In the top of the News Detail Template

Code: Select all

{$canonical = $entry->canonical scope=global}

{if empty($entry->content)}
    {$description = $entry->summary|strip_tags|strip|truncate:150 scope=global}
{else}
    {$description = $entry->content|strip_tags|strip|truncate:150 scope=global}
{/if}

{$page_title = $entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall scope=global}

Example Page Template

Code: Select all

{strip}
    {process_pagedata}
    {$canonical = "{$content_obj->GetURL()|lower|default:''}" scope=global}
    {$description = "{description}" scope=global}
    {$page_title = "{title}" scope=global}

    {$content = "{content}" scope=global}

    {if empty($description)}{$description = $content|strip_tags|strip|truncate:150|default:'' scope=global}{/if}
{/strip}<!DOCTYPE HTML>
< html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta name="description" content="{$description}">

    <link rel="canonical" href="{$canonical}">
</head>

< body>
    <h2>{$page_title}</h2>
    {$content}
< /body>
< /html>

*}

{$canonical = $entry->canonical scope=global}

{if empty($entry->content)}
    {$description = $entry->summary|strip_tags|strip|truncate:150 scope=global}
{else}
    {$description = $entry->content|strip_tags|strip|truncate:150 scope=global}
{/if}

{$page_title = $entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall scope=global}



<h2>{$entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall}</h2>

{process_pagedata}
    {$canonical = "{$content_obj->GetURL()|lower|default:''}" scope=global}

    {if empty($description)}{$description = $content|strip_tags|strip|truncate:150|default:'' scope=global}{/if}
{/strip}


{* == PROCESS DATA & HEAD == *}

{global_content name='Head'}

You haven't take over the {$content = "{content}" scope=global} and {$content} part from my example template above...
