why should rsgallery2 change the meta discription? do you want the description or titles from the categories in it? might get to long for search engines, best to leave this to the webmaster or do you disagree?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the quick reply.

RS Gallery needs, IMHO, a mechanism that allows users to have the title and meta data modified based upon the title of the picture or the category name.  If you look at my site I hacked the rsgallary2 html php file.  Here are examples:
http://www.celebritysensuo.us/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=88888894Main Gallery Page - Uses Gallery Title in site title and meta data
http://www.celebritysensuo.us/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=88888894&catid=7Category Name uses in site title and meta data
http://www.celebritysensuo.us/index.php?option=com_rsgallery2&Itemid=88888894&page=inline&id=6&catid=7&limitstart=1 Cat Name and Pic Title uses in site title and meta data

Now if you look at the stock RSGallery2 each page has same title and meta data - what happens in Google, Yahoo, and MSN (especially Google though) is they look at this as duplicate content and will supplmental the page (which is bad).  I do quite a bit of SEO work for clients and my own sites and I can assure you the gallery component is poorly optimized for search engines.

I have uploaded a hack I did is to .11.10 - I have not had time to hack .11.11

See attached file - There are two places you want to modify, its easy to modify each new version.

In this file look around lines:

380
and
758

Grep/Search for setPageTitle function and look at the code before and after it as well.

I have begun implementation of this.  It currently works when viewing a gallery.  We're rewriting major portions of the image display, so it will be added for that when that happens.

Good eye.

Ya, it was lost in the template transition.  I've added rsgDisplay::metadata();  and this is called from rsgDisplay::mainPage() which every template's index.php calls.  So it's back in r10.  Smiley

I too do quite a bit search engine optimization and recently began using RS Gallery 2 two days ago and currently make use of Gallery2 on several sites, which is highly search engine optimized and does very well when configured properly with the appropriate text and includes a Google Site Map. As you know, though, Gallery2 is extremely daunting to modify, perform server moves, clone and maintain. To the contrary, RSGallery2 is very easy and does the job well. After ignoring it since I began using Mambo approximately two years ago, its ease of use is favorable for virtually any site, particularly smaller sites.

I noticed the meta data is not available in the latest 1.13.1 (SVN: 41) version. Will the meta data feature become available in a future version? Also, can you provide the code that must be inserted in order to enable this feature and a general idea of where it must be inserted?

Thanks.

The functionality should have been in 1.13.* but... I added it to the wrong spot.  :-/

Fixing it now.  It will be in 1.13.1.1 and 1.13.2.
