That's just the default way sNews does it. It's all in the above mentioned title function if you want to re-arrange things, it shouldn't take too much effort I wouldn't think.

Yes, the above only works if you're using the "SEO search mod".

You could do it for the default sNews install by checking for the search_query variable. Something like;

if ($_POST['search_query']) {
$_DESCR = "Searching results for all items containing the term(s); ".cleanXSS($_POST['search_query']);

You need to re-direct the url, try this;

How can prevent it?]]> http://www.mdj.us/snews-cms/hacks-mods/fix-duplicate-meta-description-errors-in-snews-with-this-quick-hack/#comment-1029 Sat, 27 Mar 2010 03:14:15 +0000 http://www.mdj.us/snews-cms/hacks-mods/add-meta-keywords-to-your-categories-in-snews-17/

And thanks for the kind words, I do appreciate it :)]]> http://www.mdj.us/snews-cms/hacks-mods/fix-duplicate-meta-description-errors-in-snews-with-this-quick-hack/#comment-1025 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 23:12:18 +0000 yes, I checked the orignal 1.7 again and as you say it's not implemented. I suppose I got confused. I have another hack implement which allows me to see the contact, sitemap, archive pages as "Pages" which I can thus edit. Thus, I can define META descs and META keywords for those. However, this is not the case for categories. I realise you mod above does more than just adding META Desc for those originally hard-coded pages.

It would be great, if you find the time to publish your mod for category META Keywords :)

At this point, I'd like to say ... Thank you very much for your great page and the hard work you have put into optimizing snews. Your hacks and mods have helped me a lot (I currently use the search engine mod, the archive mod etc.) and make it real fun to work with snews. Thank you so much for this :)]]> http://www.mdj.us/snews-cms/hacks-mods/fix-duplicate-meta-description-errors-in-snews-with-this-quick-hack/#comment-1024 Wed, 24 Mar 2010 14:23:39 +0000 http://www.mdj.us/snews-cms/hacks-mods/fix-duplicate-meta-description-errors-in-snews-with-this-quick-hack/#comment-1023 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 23:18:47 +0000
I don't believe this has been integrated into sNews 1.7 at all, I have a test site running the latest 1.7 release (Update 1.5) and all the hard-coded pages (sitemap, contact,etc) still use the default site description.

As to my "fix" for categories keywords/descriptions... I haven't really fixed much :/

The categories by default use the description for each category and insert that as the meta description.

My category meta keywords are still the same default "site setting" keywords.

You are correct though, there needs to be a proper meta keywords field added to the DB for each category. If I get around to fixing this, I'll certainly post the how-to.]]>
