Given that 3.8.1 now has some SEO capabilities, i thought I would add to its richness with some metawordstags specific to those modified pages.

 

<title>{$companyname} - {$pagetitle}{if $kbcat.name} - {$kbcat.name}{/if}{if $title} - {$title}{/if}{if $kbarticle.title} - {$kbarticle.title}{/if} {if $dlarticle.title} -{$dlarticle.title} - {$dlcat.name}{/if}{if $announcement.title} - {$announcement.title}{/if}</title>

 

<meta name="description" content="{if $dlarticle.title}{$dlarticle.title}, {$dlcat.name} - {$dlcat.description} - {$download.title} - {$download.description}{/if}

{if $kbarticle.title}{$kbcat.name} - {$kbcat.description} - {$kbarticle.title} - {$kbarticle.article|truncate:100}{/if}

{if $announcement.title}{$announcement.title} - {$announcement.text|truncate:100} - {/if}Some generic description" />

 

<meta name="keywords" content="{$pagetitle}

{if $title}, {$title}{/if}

{if $kbcat.name}, {$kbcat.name}{/if}

{if $kbarticle.title}, {$kbarticle.title}{/if}

{if $kbcat.description}, $kbcat.description}{/if}

{if $dlarticle.title}, {$dlarticle.title}{/if}

{if $$dlcat.name}, {$dlcat.name}{/if}

{if $announcement.title}, {$announcement.title}{/if},

someother generic terms." />

 

However, I'm perhaps not as clever as I thought I was. It would appear that the page loads before the variables are populated, resulting in blanks.

 

Any suggestions?
