(for you it would mean the german file has to be edited too  :wink: )

EDIT: ...just incase ... this is what you are looking for in lang_main_settings.php:
[code linenumbers=false]$lang['Default_META_Description'][/code]

and while you're at it and there already you may also want to change the content of this line:

[code linenumbers=false]$lang['Default_META_Keywords'][/code]

Re: My Forum On Google

No prob. ;)

Well, but i think there should be a function for it in the acp menue. I mean, that's easier and would be more comfortable to the look&feel of icy. Icy is so mighty and really high adaptable, that's why i'm saying i miss that, too. ;)
Just my mind. ^^

Hmm, maybe anyone should give this hint to mighty gorgon. Can i? ... and where?

Would probably be a lot easier if the Meta-Data was included in its own language file?

meta_lang.php for example would possibly stop this question from being asked over and over again as I've noticed the question has been asked many times.

Re: My Forum On Google
-----------------------------------
Not hard. Please let me help you: Go to your root with an ftp programm and edit following file:
"(your forum path - root) /[b]language[/b]/[b]lang_english[/b]/[b]lang_main_settings.php[/b]"
Open it up and look for line (round about) ~30. You will see this string:
[code linenumbers=false]$lang['Default_META_Description'] = 'Icy Phoenix is an highly customizable CMS based on phpBB which allows you to create a dynamic site with a lot of features for powering web communities.';[/code]
Just edit this string to your favor. ;)

Please notice that you have select the right favorite language. In my case it is the folder "lang_english" and "lang_german".
That's all.
Any questions? Just ask and i'll help you.

Greetings, Ghostsearcher

Re: My Forum On Google

Well, i don't needed clear the cache but i'll also did that and it works. Your changes are fully working.
Let google some space to recrawl your site to affect changes. This might be up to 3-6 months. (at me)

Addendum:
Maybe you can add following string:
[code linenumbers=false]<meta name="revisit-after" content="2 days" />[/code]
So, future changes will be set faster.
Just my mind. :D

Yes otherwise I would not have been able to see it, now I guess it's a matter of time, I think there are ways to request a new crawl but you would have to find how to do that yourself because I can't remember  :oops: .

I guess it's better to move all these info in the DB... since spiders are not multilanguage and users are not reading meta.

Added to To Do List.

I think if you submit a sitemap Google will crawl the site faster.

Check the latest version of IP: there is ;) Go in ACP -> General Settings -> Server and you'll find:
SITE_META_KEYWORDS
SITE_META_KEYWORDS_SWITCH
SITE_META_KEYWORDS_SWITCH_EXPLAIN
SITE_META_DESCRIPTION
SITE_META_DESCRIPTION_SWITCH
SITE_META_DESCRIPTION_SWITCH_EXPLAIN
SITE_META_AUTHOR
SITE_META_AUTHOR_SWITCH
SITE_META_AUTHOR_SWITCH_EXPLAIN
SITE_META_COPYRIGHT
SITE_META_COPYRIGHT_SWITCH
SITE_META_COPYRIGHT_SWITCH_EXPLAIN

Well it should be with the right lang variables, I just put it this way to make it clear =D

Edit: ah, didn't noticed the second page ! MightyGorgon the mightiest :D

I don't think crawlbots still care about these meta tags ... I read somewhere that they were just listed as a word in the page.
