Static Pages Meta Tag Control
 
We have a new free mod on our site that allows you complete control of your Static Pages Meta tags! There are many steps to installing this mod so it's probably easiest if you get the zip off of our site rather than posting the step by step here. It's a pretty straight forward install though for those used to installing mods.

Enjoy!

Just check out with money order or check payment and you will get it free. All you need to put in is an email in the user information.

Thanks,

META Description and META Keyword Character Limitations
 
Hi All,
I have tested the the Meta Description and Meta Keyword mod, however the mod does not give an option for the character limitation for the Meta Description and Meta Keywords.

From my experience, I would consider the following character limitations in meta tags:

META Description: 80 Characters

META Keywords: 60 Characters

The most likely use of excessive characters would come from the META Description as these can be quite long.

Does anyone know of a way the META characters that are generated with this mod can be limited?

Any advice is appreciated.

James

With the static meta tags, we did not add the auto truncation because it's up to your discression what you put in the fields.

You can always add that after a variable, like this:

Code:

<meta name="description" content="{$page_data.metadescr|truncate:150}">

Hope that helps.

Carrie
