CMS Made Simple Forums

I am trying to work out how to suppress the <base> tag.

I found the showbase parameter for the metadata tag but it does not work.

If I put in {metadata showbase=false} then the base tag shows as well as the other meta tags.

If I put in {metadata showbase=true} then the base tag disappears but so do all the other meta tags.

My other meta tags are in Core::Generic templates and so I have the {global_content} tags in the meta data field on each of the pages as well as the Global Settings meta field.
So, when I use {metadata showbase=true}, the global content tags are displayed instead.

I also tried to suppress the base tag by using the $config setting but that did not suppress the base tag even though I cleared CMSMS cache and browser cache.

Very strange indeed. Any ideas?

Yeah, it seems it's implemented in a bad way.
You have to give the STRING value 'false'.

OK Velden. Thanks for response. But it does not solve my problem about not showing my meta tags that are stored in a generic template.

So, in my master page layout template I have put
{metadata showbase='false'}

In my content page, the page specific metadata field on Logic tab has this Core::Generic template

{global_content name='generic-meta-page'}

This contains my meta tags.

So with the showbase='false', CMSMS does not evaluate the global_content tag but just puts that tag out at top of page. But at least the base tag is not shown

I cannot really see in the metadata plugin code how it is bypassing evaluation.

So, still no further forward on this.
