Editing and outputting description, keywords and robots meta tags for search engines

Meta tags are still very important for SEO (search engine optimization) and social media posting. For example, if you don't have the description meta tag for your blog post, Facebook won't display the page description. This makes these tags crucial for any blog.

In order for this plugin to be able to edit metadata on static pages, the file admin.static.write.tpl in the directory /admin/panels/static/ must be modified. Look for clue {*here will go a plugin hook*} in about line 42 and place the following code below it:

{action hook=simple_edit_form}

. Then it should look like this:

...
			rows="20" cols="74">{$content|default:$smarty.request.content|htmlspecialchars}</textarea><br />
		{*here will go a plugin hook*}
		{action hook=simple_edit_form}  {* <<<<<========== ADDED SEO Metatag Info <<<<<========== *}
			</p>
...

Additional valid characters (e.g. german umlauts ÄäÖöÜü) can be specified for the “Description” and “Keywords” meta tags by changing the “$keep_chars” variable. To do this, open the plugin.seometataginfo.php file in the plugin directory with an editor. Around line 31, find the variable $keep_char = “”; and change it as follows:

$keep_char = "ășțîâÄäÜüÖöß";

More plugin configuration switches and their description can be found directly in the plugin.seometataginfo.php file and in the Hubert’s World archived page.
