THe design is clean cut and straight forward.

Wow man the design is very fantastic Now I make a php programmer create a title tag hack for joomla which I would gladly share with you, once it will works properly.

 

[temi]

Is it particularly difficult to create meta tags for Joomla?

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

If you examine the joomla script you will see that the script display the title tag for the inner pages in the following model: "website title - page title". I wanted to remove the website title from the title tag all around the site (except the main page) in order to improve the rankings of the inner pages. I tried to set it in the administration board for long hours, but I couldn't, so I asked someone to hack the code. For an older joomla version it's already works, but for the newest engine. Hopefully today it will be ready.

 

[temi]

That would be very useful Bagi, when its ready if you want to do a post about it and the download link, it will be nice, we can create a CMS Resources thread

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

All right Temi, though I have to discuss with the programmer how I may distribute his hack, but he is a nice guy so I don't think it would cause any problem.

 

[temi]

Ahhh,
I thought it was your hack. Its fine if he does not want to distribute it but he can get a good link free if he does

I will also blog about it on oldwelshguy.co.uk

Hey bagi that would be great , i didnt use the new 1.5 joomla as its still in Alpha stages rather beta so at the moment im using 1.0.12 which has been stable for a while.

Thanks for the imput guys

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

RiverWire the version which is already supported is 1.0.11 so I think it may work fine with your current version. When I go home I will update this thread with a guidlines and the joomla.php file. It will be about 16pm.

Is it particularly difficult to create meta tags for Joomla?

No its very easy its some thing i have to do today, ive done it for the main page as this is in the main setup of joomla , but the rest of the pages has its own meta etc so ive got to fill the out , it only takes a couple of mins.

Not sure how effective they are though a hack like bagi was saying would be a great addition. At the moment im using Open SEF which is a Keyword URL Tool which also helps , only problem is that it if i started to publish alot of data on the main site it could become a problem so im looking into a paid SEO Component that is all automatic.

 

[RiverWire]

Thats great bagi thank you , i wont be around then to try it at that time but as soon as i have a time ill let you know the results

 

[Bagi Zoltán]

I'm sorry but likelihood I won't be able to deliver you the solution today.:| The hack can be apllied only for the version 1.0.11, and doesn't work properly with the 1.0.12. I tried to contact with the programmer in order to finish the newer version but he isn't available via msn. I hope it will be ready tomorrow.

Thats fine bagi when ever it best for you :armada37:
