Disable core "Meta Tags" when Metatag plugin is installed

Disable core "Meta Tags" when Metatag plugin is installed, because it results duplicated meta tags.

[Jimmi08]

Where you found this?

[lonalore]

@mostym reported this on gitter.

[Jimmi08]

sorry, deleting former text. You meant core meta tags (set in site preferences). Your plugin worked with news, so I missed this.

[lonalore]

The source of the problem is in header_default.php file. It contains hardcoded meta tags:

if(empty($isKeywords))
{
	echo (defined("META_KEYWORDS")) ? "\n<meta name=\"keywords\" content=\"".$key_merge.META_KEYWORDS."\" />\n" : render_meta('keywords');
}
if(empty($isDescription))
{
	echo (defined("META_DESCRIPTION")) ? "\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"".$diz_merge.META_DESCRIPTION."\" />\n" : render_meta('description');
}

e107's meta-handling leaves a lot to be desired...

[Jimmi08]

Hm, but there is the correct check if e107::meta() is used.
I think that problem is that download-category doesn't use e107::meta() at all. Maybe adding them would be fix this. What about download itself? "download" uses e107::meta(), so there shouldn't be doubles.

https://github.com/e107inc/e107/issues/3911 @lonalore This is workaround or solution:

	public function renderMeta($name, $content)
	{
		if(!empty($name) && !empty($content))
		{
			e107::meta(null, $content, array(
				'name' => $name,
			));
      if($name == "description") { 
        e107::getSingleton('eResponse')->addMetaDescription($content); 
      }
		}
	}

• keywords , it's easier for you

Hi

I installed this plugin backend is working fine but in frontend there is issue with rendering content.

Like I want to set robots to index I checked that option in backend but in view source I am not finding it anywhere.

@harmanwebchfez31 Did you try clearing your cache?

[harmanwebchfez31]

Hi Thanks for your response.

I did that but unfortunately meta tags are still not appearing in frontend.

Any reason for the issue.

[lonalore]

I tested this setting and it works for me. I chekced (index) Allow search engines to index this page (assumed) option, and this appeared in the html source:

<meta content="index" name="robots" />

Which version of e107 are you using? Do you use any metatag-related plugin (except metatag)?
